Euthanasia
Euthanasia and cremation are a humane and modern way to say goodbye to your beloved pet.
What is euthanasia?
Euthanasia is a humane, painless and controlled way to end a pet’s life when the suffering is too great and treatment can no longer ensure quality of life. This process is carried out by a Veterinarian with the aim of alleviating the suffering of a pet when it is no longer possible to ensure a dignified and painless life.
When euthanasia is performed?
Euthanasia may be considered when:
• Dog or cat has an incurable disease whose progression is very painful or unmanageable.
• Pet suffers from irreversible health problems, such as severe injury, paralysis, or severe pain that cannot be controlled with medication.
• The pet’s quality of life deteriorates noticeably – it can no longer eat, drink, move, or control urination and defecation.
• In case of an elderly pet, when its body is unable to function normally and treatment can no longer improve the situation.
How to prepare for euthanasia?
The decision to euthanize a pet is one of the most difficult a pet owner can face.

If the decision is made to euthanize, your Veterinarian will provide detailed information about the procedure and help you prepare emotionally for this difficult time.
