You and your pet can say goodbye to each other in the comfort of your own home. Your pet is approaching the end of his or her life. To a pet lover, there is no greater emotional pain. Many people consider their pets to be an integral part of the family and the loss of a pet is commensurate to the loss of a parent, a child or a friend. We all know that the humane thing to do is to end a pet’s life when he is suffering. The “traditional” end of a pet’s life involves taking the pet to the veterinary hospital and having him humanely euthanized. But is that really humane? Most pets experience tremendous anxiety, fear and even pain at being brought to the vet’s. When this experience is necessary in order to handle a curable condition, it is entirely justified to put the pet through this anxiety because the pet will get good treatment and will get better. But when it’s time to end his suffering, isn’t there a better solution? Dr Annie Forslund, veterinarian, has created a service that prevents pain and suffering for the pet and for the family. She travels to the family’s home and performs the euthanasia in-home. This provides a new and more gentle way to part with your pet with dignity, privacy, compassion and respect, in the relaxed, private and warm environment of your home. The pet will not experience anxiety, fear, stress or pain and will peacefully leave his or her body surrounded by all his loved ones. The service is called Home Pet Euthanasia of Southern California. Dr Forslund has extensive training in grief counseling and although she will not provide grief counseling on-site nor force anyone into grief counseling, her training enables her to handle this painful moment with caring emotional support. Home Pet Euthanasia of Southern California in collaboration with Mission of South Coast offers a free grief counseling session to anyone who has used this service. We are available 24/7 on appointment or on an emergency basis.
