Frequently asked questions
- What should I do if my pet is having an emergency?
- You should call the clinic before arriving. Speaking with the trained staff first allows them to assess your pet’s condition and prepare for their arrival. Because the facility operates like a human emergency room, they triage patients to provide care to those who need it most first. If the clinic is at capacity, they may be unable to see your pet, in which case they recommend reaching out to another emergency facility.
- What kind of aftercare options are available for euthanasia?
- The clinic offers several aftercare options, including private, semi-private, and communal cremation. Private cremation ensures your pet is cremated individually and their ashes are returned to you. Semi-private cremation involves the pet being cremated in a separate compartment at the same time as others, with ashes returned. Communal cremation involves the pet being cremated with others, and the ashes are spread by the provider. You may also choose to take your pet’s body home.
- What symptoms indicate my pet might need emergency care?
- Emergency care may be required if your pet is non-responsive or paralyzed, having difficulty breathing, or experiencing seizures. Other warning signs include the inability to urinate, pale or bluish gums, vomiting or diarrhea lasting more than 12 hours, or a bloated and hard abdomen. If you are unsure about your pet's condition, you should use the clinic's emergency guide or call them directly for guidance.
- Can I speak with a doctor if I am unsure about my pet's quality of life?
- Yes, if you are unsure about the timing for end-of-life care, you can request an exam to speak with a doctor. During this visit, the doctor can discuss your pet's comfort, pain levels, appetite, behavior, breathing, and mobility to help you understand what your pet is experiencing and assist you in making an informed decision.
