Determining when it is time
Quality-of-Life Assessment
When gauging your pet's well-being, the unique characteristics of your pet and your family become pivotal in guiding a thoughtful, knowledgeable decision. This involves not only understanding your pet's medical condition but also becoming clear about how you want your pet and your pet’s loved-ones to experience their last days together. In essence, assessing the quality-of-life isn't confined to your pet alone; it extends to encompass the entire family.

Some pet-owners find it helpful to meet with a Peaceful Passing veterinarian either virutally or in-person before the scheduled euthanasia date. This consultation can often provide pet-owners with a greater sense of confidence in their ability to assess their pet’s quality-of-life and the timing of their euthanasia decision.
