End of Life

When your pet is suffering from a terminal illness, severe injury, or age-related decline, it can be heart-wrenching to watch them struggle. Euthanasia, or humane euthanasia, is a peaceful and compassionate way to end your pet’s suffering. Our experienced veterinarians will work closely with you to determine if this is the best option, taking into consideration your pet’s quality of life, comfort, and well-being.

Our Approach

At Ipswich Veterinary Hospital, we prioritise your pet’s comfort and dignity at all stages of this process. We offer two options for euthanasia:

• In-Clinic Euthanasia: If you choose to bring your pet to our hospital, our private and peaceful consultation rooms offer a serene environment for this final moment. Our team ensures the procedure is as gentle and stress-free as possible.

• Home Euthanasia: For families who prefer their pet’s final moments to be in the comfort of home, we offer home euthanasia services. This allows your pet to be surrounded by familiar surroundings and loved ones. 

What to Expect

The euthanasia procedure itself is quick and painless. It involves administering a sedative to ensure your pet is relaxed and comfortable, followed by an injection that gently puts them to sleep. Throughout the entire process, we prioritise your pet’s comfort and your peace of mind.

We know this is an emotional experience for you and your family. Our compassionate team will support you every step of the way, offering guidance, comfort, and understanding during this difficult time
