Euthanasia at Home

A trip to the vet’s office has never been one of your pet's favorite experiences. It generally involves a stressful car ride, an unknown period of time waiting in a busy lobby, and a variable amount of discomfort for everyone involved. Your pet’s last hours really shouldn’t take place in such a foreign, clinical environment. They should be spent at home, surrounded by family: in a familiar room, on a sunlit patio, or in the yard under a favorite tree. Choosing a place to say goodbye to your pet is very important, but you can go a few steps further if you'd like: indoors, you can create a calm, soothing atmosphere by dimming the lights, playing low, familiar music, and lighting candles; outdoors, a setting sun in the background is always appropriate. To ensure that the experience will be as peaceful as possible, please remember to turn off telephones, televisions and any other distracting devices ahead of time. Doing these things can give you a greater sense of control in a difficult time, and allow a more peaceful experience for everyone involved. http://www.homepetdoctor.com/euthanasia.html
