At Home Pet Euthanasia and Cremation Services
Coronavirus Policy Update: MASKS OPTIONAL for VACCINATED individuals. MASKS REQUIRED for NON-VACCINATED individuals due to the contagious nature of the Covid-19 Delta variant.
As "Health Service Providers" (e.g. doctors) we are still required to perform all euthanasia services outside your home (e.g. front porch, back porch, lawn, etc) with masks on.
1. We offer three (3) at home appointments per day (10am, 1pm and 3pm) to provide time in between appointments to sanitize our equipment for everyone's safety. To make an appointment call 530-306-5823.
2. Payment shall be made in advance using a valid credit card. A $50 non-refundable booking fee will be charged at the time of booking. The remainder will be charged the morning of the appointment.
3. Verbal (vs written) approval to proceed shall be provided by the owner to Dr. Sara to minimize the exchange of pens.
4. During the initial sedation shot you and your family may be with the pet feeding it treats, petting, etc. Your pet will gently go to sleep during the next 10-12 minutes. Sometimes they even snore as they start feeling so good :-)
5. After the pet is fully sedated (asleep) Dr. Sara will administer the second (euthanasia) shot. Your pet will pass peacefully, in the next few minutes, with you and your family by its side.
Note: Not all veterinarians and clinics sedate their client's pet prior to administering the euthanasia solution. This can lead to a less than peaceful passing. Dr. Sara fully sedates your pet to ensure a gentle and peaceful passing.
BURIAL vs CREMATION
A. If you wish to bury you pet on your property and your CC&Rs (if any) allow, Dr. Sara and her staff will say their goodbyes and leave. Please bury your pet at least 4 feet deep and at least 200 feet from any ground water source, per County guidance.
B. If you wish to have your pet cremated, we offer the industry's latest water-based aquamation and flame-based cremation services via our professional partners. More via the Services tab.
Prior to Dr. Sara's arrival please ensure that your family members are healthy and that the euthanasia area selected is clean and open. If your pet is snappy, reactive or aggressive, please let Dr. Sara know in advance so that we may bring the appropriate gear and/or discuss pre-sedation measures with you. We're trying our best to keep you, your family and our staff as SAFE as possible.
Our best,
Dr. Sara, Craig and Anika
