Gentle Euthanasia Services

When the time comes to consider euthanasia, our goal is to help you make the most loving and informed decision for your pet. We understand how emotionally overwhelming this choice can be, which is why we prioritize comfort, privacy, and respect throughout the process.

At Central Park Animal Hospital, we offer:

In-Clinic Euthanasia: A quiet, private room is prepared to provide a peaceful setting for you and your pet.
At-Home Euthanasia: For families who wish to say goodbye in the comfort of home, we offer limited house call euthanasia services, based on travel availability within the Burnaby area.

Our veterinarians will guide you through every step, explaining the process, answering your questions, and giving you the time and space you need.

What to Expect During the Euthanasia Process

We aim to make this experience as gentle and stress-free as possible, both for your pet and for your family. The process typically includes:

Initial Discussion and Consent
Your veterinarian will speak with you about your pet’s condition, explain the procedure, and ensure all your questions are answered.
Sedation for Comfort
Your pet will receive a calming sedative to help them relax and drift off peacefully, free from fear or discomfort.
Euthanasia Injection
Once your pet is resting comfortably, a final injection will be administered to gently stop the heart. The process is quick and completely painless.
Private Time and Memorial Options
You will be given time to say goodbye. We also offer guidance on aftercare services, including cremation and keepsake memorials, upon request.
