Caring and Compassionate Pet Euthanasia in Allegan, MI

Euthanasia is something most people would rather not think about, unfortunately, pets become old and ill, and when they appear to be suffering, sometimes pet euthanasia is the most caring and compassionate thing a pet owner can do for their pet.

At Allegan Animal Clinic, we offer in-office euthanasia options for your pet. Call us today with any questions or concerns.

Understanding When It's Time to Say Goodbye

It can be difficult for pet owners to determine when it’s time to say goodbye to their beloved pets, especially if your pet has good days and bad days. 

If you are unsure as to whether it’s time to say goodbye, Allegan Animal Clinic can evaluate your pet’s health and answer your questions to help you make a decision.

A few things that may indicate that your pet is ready to pass over the rainbow bridge include: 

• Chronic pain that cannot be alleviated with medication
• No longer eating and/or losing weight
• Chronic vomiting and diarrhea that cannot be controlled
• Dropped activity levels
• No longer standing or walking on his or her own
  

Comfortable In-Office Pet Euthanasia Options

Many pet owners choose in-office pet euthanasia. However, they still want their pets to be comfortable for the journey and to help reduce pet anxiety, and Allegan Animal Clinic can help you make your pet’s final car ride more comfortable by providing you with a sedative that you can give to your pet prior to arriving at our veterinary office.

Once you arrive in our office, you will have the option of choosing how involved you wish to be in your pet’s final moments. If you wish to stay with your beloved animal throughout their final moments, our team will escort you to a private room where you can say your goodbyes and hold your pet while he or she passes.

During the procedure, your veterinarian will give your pet a sedative to put them to sleep then inject the medications that help your pet pass peacefully. Once your pet has passed, you will have the option to take them back home for burial, or we can help you send your pet to a place where he or she will be cremated, and you can retrieve the ash at a later date.
