Why Home Is Your Best Place For Mobile Veterinary Euthanasia

Unless your best buddy has had regular trips in the car since they were small, it’s common for pets to experience stress while traveling, especially if they’re heading to the veterinarian's office. They seem to have a sixth sense about that particular drive, and it’s the number one reason why mobile veterinary euthanasia can be a blessing in disguise.

If you’re not feeling well, the last thing you want to do is get out of your PJs and travel somewhere, anywhere, let alone a doctor’s office. It stands to reason if your loving pet isn’t feeling well, they’d feel exactly the same way. They’d want to stay home where they’re warm, comfortable, and well cared for.

So since your loving pet can’t tell you why they don’t want to leave home right now, we’ll help you out.

Advantages Of Mobile Veterinary Euthanasia Services

You’ve nurtured that special bond their whole life, and that covers a good era for you too. That’s why there’s no better place to say goodbye than your pet’s own home. Whether they’ve known the place their whole life or you’ve recently moved, your pet is always most at home wherever you are, so don’t leave them when they need you most. 

Their days of chasing birds or squirrels may be over, but you can tell they’re at ease when they’re lying in their usual spot in the sun, at your feet, or out in the yard under their favorite tree.

You want to be sure they’re comfortable, so there are several advantages to choosing mobile veterinary euthanasia services for your cat or dog on their final day.

Less Stress For You And Your Pet

Some pets adore the open road, while others try to avoid it at all costs. Reduce the stress for both you and your pet by choosing mobile veterinary euthanasia services. 

There’s no need to pack up your pet and haul them to the clinic or office in a distressed state. Also, you shouldn’t have to drive home alone after your appointment when you’re obviously stressed, upset, and distracted. Make the safest choice for all of you.

Familiar Surroundings

Older pets are most comfortable when they know where they are. At home, all the sights, sounds, and smells are well-known and routine. If older pets have poor eyesight, they can still pick up even the most subtle of scents. 

The differences between the smells of home and a clinical setting are substantial and can cause undue stress to your dog or cat. Keep them at home where they know peace and happiness.

Home Comforts

Comfort also fits in with the familiar surroundings mentioned above. I know most people prefer their own bed to a hotel or hospital bed. Right? Well, that’s the way your pet feels too. There’s nothing like the feel of your own bed.

As many hospice patients ask to go home for their final days, so your pet would rather spend their last moments in the comfort of their own home.

Family Presence

You can have whomever you want present during the procedure. Clinic visits have only limited space available during pet euthanasia. 

If you have a large family or you’d like your children present, then with mobile veterinary euthanasia, it’s your choice who to have present during your pet’s passing. Just make sure your children are old enough to understand what is happening and that they know to be quiet and respectful.

Care For Yourself Too

One of the hardest things to face after saying goodbye to your pet at a veterinary clinic is the long, quiet, often solo drive home.

The last thing you’ll want to do after losing your four-legged companion is take hold of the wheel and struggle to drive yourself home safely in the midst of swirling emotions. 

Take the pressure off yourself by calling our mobile veterinary euthanasia services so you don’t have to make the long drive home alone.
