In-home Euthanasia Guidelines

Guidelines*
At Four Paws, we understand how difficult this process is. COVID-19 has made these decisions even harder because it means so much for pet parents to be with their pet during the euthanasia process. We have always understood the importance of giving time and space for the pet parent and pet and have designed these guidelines to allow for the pet parent to be with their pet while at the same time, keeping you and our staff as safe as possible.
- 1. Please also know that it is incredibly difficult for us not to be able to shake your hand or give you a hug during this process. We are not being unkind or unsupportive but rather trying to be as safe as possible.
- 2. Please know that while we will not speed through the euthanasia, it is efficient in order to reduce exposure time.
- 3. We will be wearing masks, gloves and eyeglasses. We ask that you also wear some type of mask (it can be a bandana or kerchief) and gloves when we are within 6 feet of proximity. When we are outside the 6 feet, you may take the masks and gloves off. There will be 2 times we are in close proximity - 1) During the administration of the sedative and 2) during the administration of the final medication.
- 4. We will not be able to make a clay paw but if your pet is being cremated, we can ask Faithful Companion to make a clay paw for you - they do a beautiful job.
We know these guidelines are a lot to consider and process. Please know we are here for you. Do not hesitate to let us know if you have any questions.
