When is it time?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

There is rarely a simple answer to when the right time is, but it is always about quality of life. Signs that your dog is not feeling well may include having more bad days than good, withdrawing, stopping eating, or no longer wanting to do things they once loved, such as playing or going for walks.<\/p>

In older dogs, we often see a combination of ailments such as osteoarthritis, heart failure or kidney problems. Sometimes the most compassionate decision is to let your dog suffer, rather than wait too long. We are happy to help you with a quality of life assessment where we weigh up medical facts with your sense of how your dog is doing in everyday life.<\/p>

Many people today choose to let their dog fall asleep at home in their familiar environment. This means that the dog can be in their favorite bed, surrounded by family, without the stress of a trip to the clinic. Each case is unique. Our veterinarians will review the prognosis, treatment options and quality of life with you before you make a decision.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Many people are concerned about how euthanasia is done and whether the dog will be in pain. It is important to know that euthanasia is a calm and painless process.<\/p>

We will start by sitting down together for a while to go over any questions, concerns and\/or wishes. You will fill out a consent form for your four-legged friend to be put to sleep and complete the payment so that we can then focus on what is to come.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\u200dThe vet gives an injection of sedative, usually in the nape of the neck, which makes the animal sleep after about ten minutes as if it were about to undergo surgery. They are then completely unaware of their surroundings and do not feel when we then make an incision, which is most commonly made in one of the front legs. Everything is completely painless and we check that the animal is well sedated before we proceed. It is also good to know that not all animals close their eyes when they are sedated or when they have fallen asleep.\u00a0\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\u200dWe make sure that the access is in place properly with a saline solution and then we give a larger amount of anesthetic into the access, which causes the heart to stop after a minute or so. Older and sick animals can have very constricted vessels when using this sedative injection, and we may need to give the last injection into the heart if it is not possible to get an access into the leg. After falling asleep, so-called \u201dagonal sighs\u201d may occur, which are deep, semi-rapid sighs \u2013 these are reflexes in the respiratory center in the brain that \u201ddischarge\u201d, you could say.

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThe vet listens to the heart and confirms that the dog has passed away. We know how important this moment is and we do not rush you, not even when they have fallen asleep. Everything can take its time, and you can stay with the dog for as long as you wish to say goodbye. It is entirely up to you to decide when you feel ready and ready for the next step. When you have said your final goodbye, we will together and carefully place the body in a coffin. Here you can place the animal's own favorite blanket or toy if you wish. \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
