Can we practice special rituals or services?
Yes please let us know if they are any special requests while we are in your home or otherwise.
Can I change my mind at any time?
If you are going to cancel your appointment, we need to know the evening before otherwise if you cancel the same day, there is a $50.00 cancellation fee. If you decided during your visit that you do not want to euthanize your pet you must tell us prior to the administration of the sedative otherwise we cannot reverse the process.
Can children be present?
Children learn responsibility and love in caring for their family pet. Similarly, aging, illness, and death provide rich lessons about the cycle of life. Just as with their adult caretakers, children can be taught techniques to remain involved with their animal friend’s care so they feel important and even inspired by this tender and memorable time. Depending upon your child’s age and temperament, the advice/recommendation of your hospice team, and your careful preparation, consider allowing them to be present at the time of death. If you would like another opinion about how to assist in their coping and grief work, a child therapist can be considered. (taken from IAAHPC)
