Pros and Cons of Home Euthanasia

{[['']]}
Everyone knows that it’s painful to see your pet dog in pain. What’sworse is that you might need to decide to end their pain through euthanasia. There are so many things that a pet owner needs to consider before pulling the plug on their pet, such as age, the illness, treatment, and the owner’s ability to care for their dog. If the dog is getting less good days then bad, then it might be time to let them go.

If you decide to do so, then the next thing to ask is where you are going to euthanize your pet. You can drive all the way to the vet’s office, in fact many people do this, but you also have the option to do it in a more private setting. More people would prefer to have their dog euthanized at home where they can have a solemn ceremony, especially if their dog isn’t able to move like in DM in dogs cases.  Vet’s offer home service for euthanasia since it’s going to be painful for most to take their dog somewhere else and bring them home after to bury them.

What are the pros and cons of having your dog euthanized at home?

Pros

Most dogs don’t like going to the vet’s office. The only memory they have of the place is being prodded, stuck, and poked with needles or forced to take medicines that taste bad. With this, many dog owners would prefer to spare their ill dogs the anxiety the feel when going out for a trip to the vet’s office and have their dog put down at home. They also feel more at ease since they are in a familiar place. Euthanasia should be done in a private setting. It’s an event where you might end up crying over the loss of your pet, and it’s better to do this at home rather than a public place. It’s also more convenient for the owners since they don’t have to move the dog around. Paralyzed dogs, like the ones that have DM in dogs, can be euthanized as they sleep on their bed.

Cons


You will have to make sure that you get a person that’s capable and certified to perform euthanasia. Another problem would be that the vet or person performing the procedure may not have access to the tools, medicine, staff and equipment available to help them. It’s also going to be difficult to control the dog, especially if it’s a large dog, when they feel the sting of the needle go in. it’s also going to be pricier. Vets that offer home services usually charge a bit more compared to vets that perform euthanasia at the clinic.
