Making the decision

We all secretly hope our pets will live a long, full and healthy life and pass away peacefully in their sleep. Unfortunately, this is not the norm and more often than not, it is our responsibility as owners, to make the decision to end our pet’s suffering and let them go.

Euthanasia means ‘good death’, which might seem like a contradiction in terms, however, it is often the kindest and bravest last thing we can do for our treasured pets. It’s a way to ensure this time is as peaceful, gentle, and dignified as possible.

How do I know when it is time?

Knowing this will be one of the hardest decisions you will ever have to make, we have a quality of life assessment tool, which may help you to decide when the time is right.
