  • Compassionate End-of-Life Care, Tailored to You and your Pet

    Saying goodbye to a beloved companion is deeply personal—and incredibly hard. At Paws Up, we offer gentle, dignified euthanasia services designed around your needs and comfort, whether in our serene clinic or your home.

  • Supporting Quality of Life, Through Every Stage

    Before end-of-life care becomes necessary, we walk alongside you through your pet’s senior years. This includes regular wellness exams, guidance on comfort at home, and managing chronic conditions to maximize every lovely moment together.

  • Knowing When It’s Time Is Never Easy—But You Don’t Have to Decide Alone

    We understand the weight of this decision. That’s why we offer gentle, judgment-free guidance—including:

    Talking through your concerns.

    Explaining what “quality of life” really means.

    Helping you track wellness markers and make choices with clarity and care.

  • What to Expect During the Process

    Gentle Medication & Farewell

    We begin with a sedative to ease anxiety; once your pet is resting peacefully, a painless injection ensures a swift and gentle passing.

    Tender Aftercare

    After the moment passes, we continue to support you—offering privacy, help with burial or cremation options, and resources for coping ahead.

  • Aftercare Options & Compassion for You

    Once your companion has passed, you have choices—whether that’s bringing them home, arranging private or communal cremation, or keeping a memento. We’re also here with care referrals and grief support to help you process this difficult time.

Compassionate Answers to Common Questions

  • At Paws Up, we know that saying goodbye is one of the hardest parts of loving a pet. Our goal is to help guide you through that decision with compassion, honesty, and support — ensuring your pet’s final moments are peaceful, dignified, and filled with love.

  • Euthanasia is a humane, compassionate option used when a pet’s quality of life has declined due to illness, injury, or age — and when continued treatment would only prolong suffering. It’s a final act of love, allowing your pet to pass comfortably and without pain.

    Our team is here to help you assess quality of life and guide you through every step of the decision-making process with care and understanding. You’ll never have to make that choice alone.

  • No. Euthanasia is designed to be gentle, painless, and peaceful. We first administer a calming sedative so your pet feels completely relaxed, often falling asleep in your arms. Once your pet is resting comfortably, a final injection is given to allow them to pass quietly and without distress.

    Our goal is for this moment to feel calm, compassionate, and respectful — for both you and your pet.

  • At Paws Up, euthanasia appointments can take place in our clinic or, when possible, in the comfort of your home.

    • In-Clinic: We provide a quiet, private space designed for comfort, reflection, and peace. You’re welcome to bring familiar items — a blanket, toy, or anything that feels special.

    • At Home: For families who prefer a home goodbye, we can coordinate with trusted in-home euthanasia partners to ensure a seamless and gentle experience in your pet’s familiar surroundings.

    No matter where it happens, our team is here to provide emotional support, answer questions, and help guide next steps — including memorial options, cremation, and grief resources.
