In Home Euthanasia

Why Home Euthanasia:

A trip to the vet’s office has never been one of your pet’s favorite experiences. It generally involves a stressful car ride, an anxious and sometimes long wait in a busy lobby, and often some discomfort for everyone involved.

Your pet’s last hours really shouldn’t take place in such a foreign, anxiety-filled and clinical environment. Your pet is a member of your family. They should be in the peaceful and familiar surroundings of their home, and they should be in the company of the loving family with whom they have bonded over a lifetime. Perhaps in a special place - their bed, on a sunlit patio, or under a favorite tree.

Euthanasia Process: 

When the time comes to put your friend to sleep, Dr. Solomon will come to your home to help you say goodbye to your pet in a peaceful, kind and loving manner. After meeting with you and your family, Dr. Solomon will administer a series of 2 or 3 injections. The first injection(s) will tranquilize your pet and help them to become fully relaxed and free from pain, usually within ten to fifteen minutes. When you and your pet are both ready,   Dr. Solomon will administer the final injection.

After Euthanasia:  

Following home euthanasia, most pet owners choose to have their pet’s remains individually cremated and returned to them. Dr. Solomon will transport your pet’s remains to Caring pet Services which is located in the tranquil settings of the Santa Cruz Mountains.     

Your Pet's individually cremated remains will be hand delivered to your home by Dr. Solomon. in standard urn or any premium decorative urn of your choosing, usually in about 10 to 20 days. If you don’t wish to have your pet’s ashes returned, they can be scattered or buried by the crematory instead.
