As of August 3rd, 2023, we are only able to service the Halifax Regional Municipality (as far as Musquodoboit Harbour to the East). While we have tried to accommodate visits in other parts of Nova Scotia in the past, our resources are currently too limited to send veterinarians outside our core service area. We do apologize for any inconvenience, and we thank you all for your interest in our services.

Does euthanasia hurt?

The short answer is no; however, the injection of a sedative prior to the euthanasia procedure is sometimes associated with a small amount of discomfort, like a quick burn or a sting. After that initial injection, your pet will become very sleepy and will feel no pain associated with the injection of the pentobarbital solution used for the euthanasia. All they will feel is that they are drifting off to sleep.
