End-of-Life Care

Making the decision to euthanize your beloved pet is often one of the most challenging choices a pet owner ever faces. You are not alone in this journey. If you are unsure whether it is time, we are here to guide and support you. In some cases, quality of life can be improved through treatments like acupuncture, medications, and environmental changes.

When the bad days outweigh the good, allowing your pet to pass away peacefully at home, surrounded by their loving family, is a profound gift. The term "euthanasia" means "good death." After years of love and companionship, our pets deserve a peaceful, calm, and painless farewell.

Dr. Dawn has dedicated her life to helping animals and the people who love them, and this comes full circle when it is time to say goodbye. Her commitment to providing a gentle and supportive experience ensures that your pet’s final moments are filled with care and dignity.

Note:

To ensure availability, please schedule the appointment ahead of time. Last-minute requests are often challenging to accommodate, which may result in having to euthanize at an emergency clinic or waiting until morning, potentially causing your pet unnecessary discomfort.
Appointments are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis. It is best to contact us in advance of your desired date and time to check availability for the week. Scheduling a same-day euthanasia is particularly difficult to accommodate.
Please note that any availability is based on the timing and location of previously scheduled appointments
Dr. Greenberg is dedicated to providing a personalized and compassionate experience. As a sole practitioner, she cannot reserve multiple appointment slots for any single family to ensure fairness to all clients.

If you’re unsure whether it’s the right time for euthanasia, we recommend scheduling a Quality of Life Discussion Consult by phone for additional guidance and support.
