Pet Euthanasia

This is the most difficult part of being a pet parent.


Deciding When It’s Time to Say Goodbye to Your Pet
Making the decision to say your farewells isn’t easy. If you’re unsure whether the time is right, schedule a quality-of-life consultation to assess your pet’s condition with a pet care professional. Dr. Walia will talk with you about your pet’s day-to-day comfort, appetite, mobility, and ability to enjoy life. You may be asked to talk about questions like:
- Is your pet in constant pain or discomfort?
- Are they still able to eat or drink regularly?
- Can they move around and stay clean on their own?
- Are they still finding joy in their usual activities?
Our staff will give you honest guidance and help you make the best decision for your pet and your family. You should feel that you are making the right choice for your furry companion.
End-of-Life Care for Dogs and Cats
In some cases, your pet may not be ready for euthanasia today but needs care as their health declines. Dr. Walia and our compassionate team aid pets at their end of life with pain management and supportive treatments to make your fur baby’s final days more peaceful. Dr. Walia will work with you on a plan that prioritizes comfort and gives you time to say goodbye.
We, like you, always want what is best for your pet. Hospice care may need to be adjusted over time, or your pet’s quality of life may need to be reevaluated. Our veterinary team is here to help your pet as they make this final transition.
