• Knowing when it’s time is one of the hardest and most heart-centered decisions we make for our beloved companions. 
• Often, our pets begin to show us through subtle changes—their appetite fades, they tire more easily, or they no longer find joy in the things they once loved. 
• Trusting your intuition and the deep bond you share can help guide you.
• You don’t have to make this decision alone. 
• Together, we can gently assess your pet’s comfort and quality of life, honoring both their needs and your love for them. 
• When the time comes, know that choosing a peaceful transition is an act of profound compassion and grace. 
• Ohio State University Veterinary Medical Center has put together a informative packet to help with the decision and I have found it very helpful when assisting pet parents make a decision.

• Your home provides a peaceful and familiar space for your pet’s transition. 
• We begin by spending time together—talking through the process, answering your questions, and making sure everyone feels ready. You’ll have the opportunity to create a calm, comforting environment with any rituals, music, or sacred touches that feel meaningful to you.
• When the time comes, a gentle sedation helps your pet relax into a deep, restful sleep. 
• The final medication is then given allowing a peaceful passing—softly, without fear or pain. 
• You may choose to hold your pet, sit nearby, or simply be present in quiet love. We remain with you throughout, honoring this moment as the sacred transition it is.

• Yes, we generally encourage allowing your other pets to be present. Animals often have a deeper and more intuitive understanding of death and dying than we do. Being able to witness their companion’s peaceful passing—or to see their body afterward—can help them process what has happened and begin their own natural grieving process.

• Each family and child is unique, and there is no single right answer. If a child wishes to be present, it can be a meaningful opportunity to witness love, compassion, and peace at the end of life. When guided with honesty and tenderness, children often handle these sacred moments with great understanding. Allowing them to say goodbye in a way that feels comfortable—whether by being present or joining afterward—can support their own healing and sense of closure.
