Turquoise Animal Hospital – San Diego Veterinarian

Although the question of euthanizing a pet is emotional, preparing for this end-of-life procedure can alleviate some stress and grief associated with it.  Euthanasia, a painless experience for the pet when conducted by a veterinarian, may be the last act of compassion you can show toward your ill or suffering pet.

Our veterinarians, who know how personal this decision is, can help guide you through the process.  Common questions that arise when pet owners face this decision include:

• Is my pet suffering?
• What are the effective treatment options?
• How do I know if the illness/condition is affecting my pet’s quality of life?

Saying goodbye to a cherished pet is never easy but our veterinary professionals can help you identify when it is in the pet’s best interest to do so.

We can also provide cremation services through Circle of Life Pet Cremation. You can either choose to have your pet’s ashes returned to you in a beautiful cedar box or, if you choose not to keep your pet’s ashes, they can be scattered at sea.
