AAHA-accredited · Open 7 days · We’ll do our absolute best to accommodate your timing — in many cases, we can see you the same day.

Is it time?

One of the hardest parts is knowing when. There’s rarely a single clear moment — but if you find yourself asking the question, it’s the right time to talk it through with someone who can help.

  • More bad days than good ones lately
  • No longer eating, drinking, or interested in the things they loved
  • Trouble getting up, staying comfortable, or moving without pain
  • Pain or distress that medication no longer eases
  • You’re caring for them around the clock and it’s no longer enough

Our veterinarians will talk it through with you honestly and without any pressure — whichever way you’re leaning.

What happens, and how we make it peaceful

1

A private, quiet room

You and your pet are given a calm, private comfort room. There’s no rush — the time is yours.

2

Sedation first

We give a gentle sedative so your pet drifts into a deep, painless sleep in your arms before anything else.

3

Peaceful and gentle

Once they’re fully asleep, the final step is quiet and painless. It’s over in moments, and it’s peaceful.

4

You choose how present to be

You’re welcome to hold them and stay through everything, or to step away — whatever feels right for you.
