For in-home euthanasia, we aim to make your pet’s passing as peaceful as possible. We are flexible in offering weekend euthanasia appointments so that everyone who wants to be present with their pet during their final moments can be. We do not offer euthanasia for healthy pets. If you need to part with a healthy pet (even temporarily), please contact nearby humane societies or the Alberta SPCA. For more information about the in-home euthanasia process, click here.

Frequently Asked Questions
In order to provide the most consistent and reliable care possible, I offer appointments when my spouse is available to be providing childcare. On the days when we are closed, I (Dr. Brenna) am taking care of our children and as such am only available for text communication and ashes delivery, not euthanasia appointments.
There are limited options available for families to have their pet pass at home when all family members are available. By offering only this service, I am better able to help meet this need. Even pets who like going to the vet benefit from being in their familiar space for their final moments.
In-home euthanasia is a time-intensive service and should not feel rushed. Unlike in a traditional veterinary clinic, where a euthanasia can take just a mere 5 minutes of a veterinarian’s time (in between a fully booked day of other appointments), an in-home service may take upwards of 3 hours when factoring in travel, time to sedate, the procedure itself and creating memorial items. For more details on cost, please use the pricing request form on our contact page.
