As a loving pet owner, you know your pet better than anyone and will notice when they are not acting like themselves. While each pet’s experience is different, there are similar patterns of behavior that may mean the end is close. If you find yourself asking “Is it time?”, you should monitor your pet’s behavior for these five common signs:

  • Loss of Interest
  • Extreme Fatigue or Loss of Energy
  • Loss of Bladder or Bowel Control
  • Loss of Appetite
  • Labored Breathing
Please reach out to us at 571-200-6562 to discuss if you are unsure.

It is important to know what to expect so you are as prepared as you can be in this situation. Our team will bring all the supplies needed. When we arrive, we will set up and the doctor will discuss the procedure with you. The doctor will administer a light sedative to help your pet relax. We will also place an IV catheter to give the doctor access to administer the medications. Once you are ready, the doctor will talk you through what she is administering and advise you when your pet has passed. You have as much time as you’d like to spend with them before and after the procedure.

The first step in dealing with your loss is to allow yourself to grieve. You didn’t lose “just an animal.” This animal was special because they were a member of your family, and research has found that the loss of a pet is just as painful as the loss of a human. The grief process is the same.

When you’re determining how to deal with the death of a pet, it’s important to understand that everyone grieves differently. People all go through a process to help them deal with and release the hurt, and everyone has their own timetable to complete that process.

Over 87 percent of pet owners experience at least one symptom of grief after losing a pet. After six months, about 35 percent of people still experienced grief over their pet’s loss. Even a year after the loss, over 22 percent were still experiencing grief. Don’t rush yourself through the process. Heal at your own pace.

Remembering Your Beloved Companion

Below are the complimentary urns that are available with a private cremation. Each urn also comes with a custom engraved brass nameplate. The standard is usually “In Loving Memory” and the pet’s name, however, you can have this engraved with whatever you’d like. We offer complimentary clay paw prints and a lock of fur keepsake as well.
