End-of-Life Care,
Centered on Love
Saying Goodbye
Saying goodbye is the hardest part of loving a pet. At Pets Now Urgent Care, we guide families with empathy and medical clarity so your companion’s comfort comes first. Euthanasia is offered as an option when a pet is facing serious medical issues, declining health, or a poor quality of life—always with your pet’s dignity and your family’s wishes at the heart of every decision.
“How Will I Know When It’s Time?”
No two pets—or families—are the same, but certain medical realities matter more than others. Persistent, unmanageable pain or extreme trouble breathing are strong indicators of poor quality of life, and should weigh heavily in your decision.
You don’t have to figure it out alone. Your veterinarian can explain prognosis, what comfort looks like for your pet, and what to expect with or without treatment. Honest medical input—paired with your intimate knowledge of your pet—creates the most humane path forward.
Many families find it helpful to use simple, structured methods for evaluating the condition of their pets:
- List the three-to-five activities your pet has always loved and notice when they can no longer enjoy them
- Mark good and hard days on a calendar to see trends
- Consider a quality-of-life scale to track changes over time
- Invite a trusted friend who sees your pet less to offer additional perspective
These techniques come from a respected guide developed by The Ohio State University Veterinary Medical Center and can make an unclear moment feel more manageable.
A Calm, Private Space For Your Pet —And For You
We offer a dedicated comfort room for gentle evaluation, quiet time together, and, when chosen, a peaceful goodbye. You set the pace. Our veterinary team explains each step and honors rituals that matter to you—favorite blankets, music, or a final snack if appropriate.
Your pet’s comfort is paramount. Veterinarians can provide sedation and pain relief so pets relax deeply—many drift into a sleep-like state—before the final medication. Handled properly, euthanasia is a loving, dignified end, free from fear and pain. You’re welcome to be present the entire time, hold your pet, and say everything you need to say.
Thoughtful Aftercare and Memorial Options
We partner with trusted cremation services and can coordinate everything for you—including private or communal cremation and a selection of memorial items. Our team manages the logistics and keeps you informed, so you can focus on remembrance.
By Your Side with Compassion For You and Your Pet
Whether you need a same-day quality-of-life assessment, pain-management support, or a peaceful goodbye, our team is ready to help. We’ll talk through options, answer questions honestly, and care for your pet as if they were our own. Give us a call today to learn more.
