Saying goodbye to your pet can be extremely difficult, and we truly understand this.

Most of all, we promise to treat your pet with compassionate and understanding care.

We provide care for Lawrence, KS and surrounding communities with our mobile service and are available for evening and weekend euthanasia visits. Our euthanasia service offers aftercare for your pet in the form of cremation, and we’ll handle all of the details for you. If you’d like a keepsake from your pet to help remember them, we offer that as well.

Home euthanasia offers peace

Your pet deserves comfort. A car ride, clinic or hospital visit can be stressful. In their final
moments we just want them to have peace. Your entire family can be present to say goodbye in
the most comfortable setting–your home. A rushed experience can lead to long-term stress.
We’ll help you in your pet’s final moments, when you’re ready and with our support.

How Do I Know It’s Time?

In some cases, your veterinarian may be able to tell you definitively that it is time to euthanize your pet, but in other cases, you may ultimately need to make the decision based on your observances of your pet’s behavior and attitude. Here are some resources to help you determine if you should consider euthanasia for your pet:

Saying goodbye

Once you have made this very difficult decision, you will also need to decide how and where you and your family will say the final goodbye.

  • Before the procedure is scheduled to take place, make sure that all members of your family have time with the pet to say a private goodbye.
  • If you have children, make sure that you explain the decision to them and prepare them for the loss of the pet in advance. This may be your child’s first experience with death, and it is very important for you to help her or him through the grieving process. Books that address the subject, such as When a Pet Dies by Fred Rogers or Remembering My Pet by Machama Liss-Levinson and Molly Phinney Baskette, may be very beneficial in helping your child to deal with this loss.
  • It is an individual decision whether or not you and your family want to be present during the euthanasia procedure. For some pet owners, the emotion may be too overwhelming, but for many, it is a comfort to be with their pet during the final moments. It may be inappropriate for young children to witness the procedure since they are not yet able to understand death and may also not understand that they need to remain still and quiet.
