Frequently Asked Questions About Our Pet Euthanasia At Home Service

  • Is it better to euthanize a dog or pet at home?

    The best place to perform euthanasia is wherever you and your pet is comfortable. And for most pets and their owners, home is where they feel most comfortable that’s why in-home euthanasia is better for them.

    There are cases, however, when euthanasia must be done immediately. This usually happens when pets are already admitted to the hospital for terminal illness or may have been involved in an accident.  Owners and vets don’t have that much time to bring the pet home so the procedure will be done in the clinic or hospital.

    Just remember, there is no wrong answer for where your pet should be euthanised when the time comes. You can discuss the options with our friendly and compassionate team here at Sugarland Animal Hospital Bundaberg.

  • Is it OK to feed a dog or pet before euthanasia?

    In most cases, yes. If your dog doesn’t have a hard time eating at all due to its illness, we say give your dog a feast. It’ll be the last day of your dog on Earth. That’s why it’s better if you give the best day of its life.

    We recommend you discuss this with our team here at Sugarland Animal Hospital. Call us on 07 4151 3550.

  • Is it better to cremate your pet after euthanasia?

    In normal cases, choosing between cremation and burial is a deeply personal decision. However, if your dog is dying from a disease that’s contagious, it would be better to cremate your dog after euthanasia.

    Cremation is done in special incinerators that render the ashes sterile to prevent other living organisms from getting the disease that your dog had.

    However, the final decision is entirely up to you. We recommend you discuss your options and get advice from our team here at Bundaberg’s Sugarland Animal Hospital.

  • Does a dog or animal suffer when euthanised?

    The procedure itself doesn’t hurt. However, your pet might make odd noises or movements as they lose their consciousness after sedation.

    But overall, it’s a safe and painless process to put your pet to rest. It’s an especially kind option for your pet when they are unwell.
