Deciding on putting a dog down is one of the hardest choices a pet owner will ever face. At The Kindest Goodbye, we understand how emotionally overwhelming this decision can be. We provide compassionate, in-home pet euthanasia services to help your dog pass peacefully in the comfort of their home, surrounded by the ones that matter most. Our goal is to offer your dog a dignified and gentle farewell in a safe environment, free from pain and anxiety.
It feels deeply personal when deciding on putting your pet down. Euthanasia is an option that no one wants, although sometimes there are clear indicators to show you that the time is right. Here are a few signs that it might be time to consider putting your dog down:
Our veterinarians will guide you through this difficult decision, offering advice and support when putting a dog to sleep.
When putting your dog down at home, the process is handled with the utmost care and gentleness. The vet first administers a sedative to help your dog relax, ensuring they feel no anxiety or discomfort. Once they are comfortable, a second injection is given to painlessly put them to sleep. You can stay by their side throughout the dog euthanasia process, offering love and comfort during their final moments.
After putting your dog down, we offer a variety of aftercare options to honour your pet's memory. You can choose a private cremation, where your pet is cremated individually, and their ashes are returned to you. Prices vary based on location, crematorium, and your pet’s weight. For a more affordable option, communal cremation is available without the return of ashes. If you prefer to bury your pet at home or make your own cremation arrangements, we will leave them in your care to honour them in the way that feels right for you.
At The Kindest Goodbye, we believe putting your pet to sleep should be a peaceful, pain-free process.
