What to expect
A peaceful, unhurried goodbye
However overwhelming this moment feels, the process itself is gentle. Here is what a goodbye with us is like.
We talk, gently
There is no rush. We listen, answer your questions, and let your dog or cat settle in a place that feels safe and familiar.
A calm sedative first
When you’re ready, a gentle sedative lets your companion drift into a deep, comfortable sleep, fully relaxed and free of pain.
Together, at peace
Only when they’re completely at ease do we proceed. You’re free to hold them, speak softly, and simply be near.
A trusted Sunnyside practice
