What to Expect
Paws at Peace will make the first available appointment to see you and your pet. Before our arrival, you may like to ensure that your pet is comfortable and in familiar surroundings such as his or her own bed.
Our Vet, Dr Amy Jeffreys, will examine your pet and if euthanasia is indicated, she will give an injection of sedation under the skin or into the muscle. Sedation is important to ensure your pet is calm, peaceful and in no distress before the final injection is given. The sedation should take about 5-10 minutes to have an effect, during which time you can cuddle and comfort your pet as much you wish. Once your pet is fully sedated, Dr Amy will place a catheter into a vein in his or her front leg so there is good access to administer the injection when you let her know you are ready.
You will probably want to cuddle and hold your pet as you say goodbye to him or her. Our aim is for the entire process to be as calm, pain free and nurturing as we can possibly make it for your pet and for you.

There are four options for aftercare:
- Home burial if you have the facilities (Paws at Peace will not be able to assist with this, except to provide a calico bag for burial if you would like one);
- Burial in a pet cemetery - a suitable ceremony can be arranged if required;
- Group cremation in which we take your pet with us and your pet's ashes are not returned to you;
- Private cremation - we take your pet with us and deliver his or her ashes back to you in 1-2 weeks. We will bring a brochure from the cremation company with us, which outlines all available options.
