Whenever you need to put your pet to sleep, it can be hard and hellish. Even if you are doing it to show mercy and make sure that the pain that your beloved pet was plagued with, it can be one of the hardest things you need to do, and it can also cause you a lot of grief as well.
There are often two options when it comes to the end of life procedures for your pets. You can either drive to the vet and have the procedure done there, or you can have a vet come to your home. While the end result is the same no matter what, here are some of the major benefits that come with completing the procedure at home.
You Don’t Have The Stress/Emotions Of Travel Time
Depending on the factors relating to your pet’s illness, you might find that it is very hard for them to travel anywhere. They might just be too old, sick, or in too much pain to ride in the car comfortably. But even if they are able to ride in the car, that can cause stress or excitement for your pets because a car ride is different from their normal routine.
You don’t want your pet to be worried about where they are going, excited about where they are going, or all pumped up to explore a new area right before the end. Instead, keeping the euthanasia procedure at home can help keep your pets comfortable and can ensure that they are in a calm mental state.
Your Pet Can Be Comfortable And In Your Arms
Having the at home euthanasia for cats and dogs procedure done at home can help to make them, and you comfortable. Your pet is surrounded by the things, sights, sounds, and smells that are comfortable to them, and they will be able to pass on without fear. A vet’s office can be different enough to give your pet some jitters, and that’s not the best way for them to pass on.
Plus, it’s easier for you to hold your pet in your arms while in the comfort of your own home, and will allow you to communicate to your pet that everything is going to be okay. It might also help you deal with some of your grief as well.
You Can Give Your Pet One Final Day
Finally, you can simply treat the day like any other day. Make sure your pet has the best day of their lives before the end, and that will be enough. No travel, no strange places, just you and your pet having a great time.
