Humane Euthanasia

​Euthanasia can be an uncomfortable and upsetting topic but at City Limits Vet Clinic we do everything in our power to make sure the process itself is as comfortable as possible for you and your pet.
 
We know the decision to euthanize may occur suddenly which is why we do our very best to accommodate last minute or same day euthanasia appointments.  
 
Either during your appointment or on the phone before, three options will be presented to you for your companion after he or she has passed. First, you can take his or her body home with you for burial. Second, you have the option to have him or her cremated and have the remains returned to you (individual cremation). Lastly, you can have your pet cremated with other pets; in this case the remains will not be returned to you (communal cremation).
 
At the time of the appointment, you will be asked to sign a Euthanasia Release Form that will give us permission to perform the procedure and also confirm that the pet has not recently bit anyone (this is a legal requirement).
 
An IV catheter will be placed to facilitate smooth administration of the medications. Two medications are given. First, a sedative will be given to ease any anxiety your pet may be feeling. The second medication given is the euthanasia solution that works by stopping the heart in a non-painful way. Although your pet will not feel the medication work, there are reflexes of the body that may be seen. This includes urination, defecation, muscle tremors, and muscle spasms of the diaphragm that can look like big breaths. These typically subside quickly and your pet will be at peace.
 
We respect your decision to be present during the procedure or not. If you choose to not be with your pet, we will comfort him or her as if they are our own fur babies as they pass. 
There are a few traveling vets who provide in-home euthanasia. For your convenience, we've listed a couple below: ​
