Frequently Asked Questions about Dog Euthanasia at Home

If we have other pets should we hide them away during the euthanasia?   

Generally we would say no, every pet is different but it seems that the other pets of the house want to check out what is going on and we've never had a bad encounter because of other pets being present.

If my dog has been aggresive before can you still come help us?

PLEASE do tell us if your dog has been aggressive at the vet. Dr. Burroughs will still come but she needs to know what she is walking into. We love to help all animals.

How long in advance do I need to contact you?

We often have same day availability for euthanasia appointments, but that would require you to be flexible with the time slots we have. If you need a specific time of day then it is best if you schedule a day in advance.

Does the size of my dog affect pricing?

Yes, up to 100 lbs is the same pricing as is listed on the pricing page, but dogs over 100lbs do cost more. Click below to see pricing details. If he's too big to be a lap dog let us know.

I am not sure if it is time to euthanize my dog. How can I be sure that I'm not choosing euthanasia too early?

If you need help deciding what to do consider having Dr. Burroughs come out for just a quality of life consult. We know that choosing the time to euthanize a pet you love is very difficult. We can help you get an objective opinion about your pet's health.

How long is an average euthanaisia appointment?

Typically it takes between 45 minutes to 1 hour for the entire appointment.

Can I hold my cat in my lap while you do the procedure?

This is a common request. Yes, it is fine to hold your cat (or small dog) in your lap while Dr Burroughs administers the medications.
