How to Make Your Dog Most Comfortable during End-of-Life Services

Whether you have decided to euthanize your pet at home or not, it can be helpful to think ahead about how to ensure your pet is comfortable in its last moments. Most issues related to making your dog comfortable depend on the individual dog, but the feelings and reactions of you and your family members also play a role. Your pet will be most comfortable when you are as well. For more information or to schedule an appointment, contact us at Peaceful Pet In Home in Tucson, AZ.

At Home Versus In-Office

The location where the process occurs can impact your dog’s comfort. How does your dog react when visiting the vet or when strangers enter the home? Does either situation make your dog uncomfortable, or can he relax in those settings?

Pet Comfort Where and When

For an at-home process, think of all the time you spend with your pet at home. Is there a spot where you and your dog regularly relax together?

Does your dog have a time of day when he is most relaxed? Does he regularly sleep at certain times of the day? Knowing these times of day can be helpful when calling to schedule an appointment.

Staying with Your Dog

Some people who choose at home euthanasia want to be with their dog in its final moments, but you have the choice whether to do so or not.

Preparations for that Day

You know your dog best and understand his routine and favorite things. One way to ensure your dog relaxes is to have a favorite meal. Some pets previously on restricted diets have a last chance to enjoy their favorite meal. Of course, you can prepare the chosen spot at home with a favorite bed, blanket, or toy to help your dog become comfortable.

After making a difficult decision, ensure your dog is comfortable in his last moment will help you cherish the many moments you shared.
