At Home Euthanasia

The decision to euthanize a family pet can be very stressful and difficult. “Is it the right time?”, “Are we making the right decision?” “Is s/he ready to let go yet?“ are common questions that owners ask themselves at this point in their pet’s lives. Unless the animal is obviously suffering, there sometimes are no clear answers. Many owners are also hesitant to take their pet to the veterinarian’s office for the euthanasia. Their animal might become stressed as they have often associated that place with pain or discomfort. Many would rather have their pet’s last moments be at home where they are loved & at peace. Also the physical logistics of taking a large dog home after visiting the vet’s office might be challenging.

Working in conjunction with outstanding cremation services such as FriendsForeverCremation.com (760-510-1010) and MyFamilyAnimals.com (951-677-5595), Dr. Rosenberg is able to provide at home euthanasia that is both peaceful for the patient and affordable for the owner. Dr. Rosenberg will visit your home at a time that is convenient for you. An intra-muscular sedative is administered to your pet. She/he will fall asleep within 10 – 15 minutes, after which the final injection is given. Your animal feels no pain and is able to die peacefully at home surrounded by those who loved him/her.

The cost ranges between $175 to $250 (depending on travel time). An additional fee might be assessed for after-hour, weekend or emergency appointments. Please call Dr. Rosenberg at 858-547-9111 to discuss your circumstances or if you have any questions regarding the service.
