What to Expect During the Pet Euthanasia Process

  • Consultation: We’ll discuss your thoughts, concerns, and any questions you may have about euthanasia. Once you’re ready, we can help arrange a day and time that suits you and your loved one. Feel free to bring friends or family, and if you need extra time with your pet, just let us know.
  • Support: We are happy to accommodate any requests and provide emotional support if needed. You can choose to stay in the room or wait outside, depending on what feels right for you. Everyone grieves differently, and we respect your choices to ensure the process is as smooth as possible for you and your pet.
  • Sedation for Comfort: Your final memory of your pet should be peaceful and serene. We administer a sedative and pain medication to help your pet relax and drift into a calm sleep before the final injection. This first injection ensures your pet feels no fear, pain, or anxiety.
  • Sedation Check: We assess the sedation to confirm your pet is in a deep sleep and no longer responsive to stimulation.
  • Euthanasia: The final act of kindness. The second injection contains a solution that gently stops the heart, leading to a painless passing. The pet is unaware of the process and feels no discomfort. Occasionally, there may be a final breath, but usually, there is just a peaceful stillness.
  • Aftercare Options: You may choose to take your pet’s remains home for burial in a special place, or we can arrange for cremation or aquamation with an walnut deluxe urn.

Amazing Vet and staff. Have been with Dr Sam since he first started and they have card for our dogs for over 15 years. Their love and compassion for animals are by far the best. The facilities are amazing and have almost everything on-site, including Xray and surgerical area.

I can’t say enough about the staff at Bliss Animal Hospital! They are all so kind and caring. They go the extra mile and never make me feel like I’m asking too many questions. I never feel like they are trying upsell me things/services I don’t need. I trust them with my babies (dogs).

We went to Bliss for the first time a couple of days ago. It was for a check up for our yellow lab Gracie. We found the staff to be excellent in every way. They were attentive and very caring. Gracie gets nervous going to the vet but not so here. The vet and staff took the time to make her feel comfortable. By the end of the visit she was licking their faces. The vet answered all our questions and was very patient. After our visit she sent us a detailed email letting us know what was needed to improve her diet. This was exceptional care. We will be back for sure

I can't recommend Bliss Animal Hospital enough, especially Dr. Nayara and the incredible team. My sphynx cat, Dobby, developed an anal gland abscess, and before goiing to Bliss, I took him to two other veterinary hospitals. Both recommended surgery under anesthesia. The problem is that Dobby has a heart condition and von Willebrand disease, so his specialists do not recommend anesthesia unless it is absolutely necessary because of the risks involved. At the other hospitals, I felt completely hopeless. I was essentially being told that if he had surgery there were significant risks because of his medical conditions, but if he didn't have surgery there were also risks if the abscess worsened or ruptured. Basically they said that this will not resolve on its own without surgical intervention and being put under anesthesia. As his mom, I felt like there was no good option and I was terrified of making the wrong decision. When I brought Dobby to Bliss Animal Hospital, everything changed. Dr. Nay took the time to carefully evaluate him instead of immediately recommending surgery. She was able to express more of the abscess, gave him a long-acting antibiotic injection, and even contacted Dobby's cardiologist to make sure the pain medication she wanted to prescribe would be safe for his heart. That level of thoroughness and teamwork meant everything to me. Because Dobby was having leakage from the abscess, he developed a severe skin burn around his rear end that looked incredibly painful. Dr. Nay recommended medical-grade Manuka honey, and it honestly worked like magic. The area healed so quickly, and it brought him so much relief. The results were incredible. The swelling continued to go down, the abscess completely resolved, and Dobby healed without needing surgery. I am beyond grateful that Dr. Nay looked at Dobby as an individual instead of taking a one-size-fits-all approach. I also want to give a special thank you to Wilma. She was so kind and compassionate with Dobby and treated him with so much love. When I needed medication for him right away, she went out of her way to help me get it as quickly as possible. That level of kindness is something I'll never forget. I'm a total mama bear when it comes to my boys, and I know I ask a million questions because I want the very best for them. Not once did anyone at Bliss Animal Hospital make me feel like I was being difficult. Every single person was patient, understanding, and genuinely cared about Dobby as if he were their own. Thank you, Dr. Nay, Wilma, and the entire team at Bliss Animal Hospital. You didn't just treat Dobby, you treated him with extraordinary compassion, respected his unique medical needs, and gave me hope when I truly felt like there wasn't any. I will always be grateful for the care you gave my sweet boy.

The staff and Dr. Sam were absolutely amazing. I booked the wrong place for an appointment and showed up at their office an hour before they even open and Dr. Sam took Dozer and I in and helped us anyway. The staff was incredibly helpful with getting Dozers prior vet information. And helped us when Dozer wasn't feeling well they immediately had us come in and took a look at him and referred us to a great emergency vet. Unfortunately Dozer didn't make it, his cancer and bleed was to much, and even with as sad and heartbreaking it all is and was, the staff at Bliss were so helpful and supportive. I recommend anyone who has a dog or cat to take them to Bliss, you will feel very supported and well taken care of.
