I know that many of you are pet lovers so I decided to share this with you.
As many of you already know, we lost one of our dogs last week but this post is not about that... This post is about the service not many know about. During last several days I have heard many times a comment like "I did not know that" or "nice that your vet came to your house". Not many know about in-home euthanasia. I found out about the service from a friend of mine who lost her dog last year to kidney failure. I called the place and people there were very professional, kind and caring. Since we live in the townhouse, I needed to find a pet cemetery. There is PA State Pet Memorial and Cemetery here in the area. There are a lot of Police dogs buried there. The cemetery is open to privately owned pets, too.
The cemetery worker came with the vet to do a pick up/transportation and cremation. Our doggy's cremains will be placed in the Memorial column and a nameplate will be placed on the front of that column.
If any of you have an aging pet, it would be my recommendation to look into similar services in your area. I liked that it was private and affordable.
If you would like to read about our dogs, here is one of my earlier post:

I am so sorry for your lose. We lost one of our dogs last year. This is a very informative service.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for your lose, Inessa. I have my first time ever dog for 5 years now and I don't know how to handle it if one day I will loose him. My prayers and hugs to you!♥
ReplyDeleteVery sorry for your loss, I know how difficult it is, recently lost one of our loving animals. Hugs going out to you.
ReplyDeleteInessa... hugs to you and your family. We also had our vet come to the house when it was time for Tackleberry to go!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for your loss, Inessa. Losing a beloved pet, as we did last year, is very hard. I am glad to learn about this service.... thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThat is good to hear that you had someone come in and be with you and your pet as well as help you. I can imagine that must have been difficult, at the same time good to have someone around who knew what they were doing. Your dog will always be remembered and they appreciate your care for them. x
ReplyDeletesorry for your loss, thanks for the info on burial
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for your loss. I lost one of my cats back in March 2011 and was devastated by it. Ours was cremated and they scattered the ashes in the outdoor woods. *hugs*
ReplyDeleteI so sorry about the loss :( I think doing it at home is a great option.
ReplyDeletePritty, too bad your 4-legged family member had to go. Thanks so sharing about doing things at home.
ReplyDeleteIts always so hard to lose a pet. So sorry for your loss. Animals I truly believe are gifts from God and a test for us to see how we treat creatures who rely on us for care. Thanks for the info on the euthanasia.
