• Prearrange - Another way is to research places in your area and preferably make the arrangements in advance. In this way, you’ll be more likely to locate a reputable facility and possibly save on the cost. You will also be able to make your choices without being under duress.
Whichever method you use, it’s advisable to check out the policies and credentials of the facility, even if it is recommended by your vet.
This is a time in in your life that you will always remember. The pain will remain, but will one day become happy memories of the love and unconditional dedication you received from you beloved pet.
If this guide helps you through this time with a little less confusion and time, then it has served its purpose.
If you have now or in the past lost a precious pet from your life, you have our deepest condolences.
