Peaceful Euthanasia
Loving a pet is so easy. Saying goodbye is so hard.
What to Expect During a Euthanasia Appointment
​
-
A discussion with Dr. Doiron regarding your pet and the process; all questions answered.
-
A combination of pain medicine and sedative will be administered under the skin with a small needle. This will have your pet deeply relaxed within about 15 minutes.
-
Once your pet is completely asleep, a second medication will be given in a vein. Your pet will not feel this, nor be aware of what is happening. They will pass away within a few minutes.
-
Dr. Doiron will listen to their heart and let you know when they have passed.
-
Aftercare will proceed as already discussed (See options below).
