I took my small beloved pet of 17 years to be euthanized. I froze and failed to protect my pet from these people She died a horrible death at their hands. I made the mistake of letting them take her into another room where the torture of inserting an unnecessary catheter was done. When I got her back she was so tightly wrapped in a towel she looked more dead than alive. I was told "she fought to the end." I asked them to sedate her first which they didn't do. I heard her cry and I just went into shock. If you have to euthanize a pet demand they are given a sedate first. Never let them separate your loved pet from you. Don't go here if you have another choice, don't go alone.

Not wanting to let my daughter's 16 year old cat, Chan--who had been her constant companion through some pretty rough years of her life--suffer anymore, she made the decision and I took him to Veterinary Emergency Clinic to find caring professionals who understood the tears and necessity to come in. The Dr. (Lassiter, I believe) allowed me some time after the IV insertion to calm Chan-Cat and then came in to quickly administer the medication to a barely breathing animal. Two breaths later, he passed peacefully. The Dr. stayed with me a few more moments and was compassionate and caring...altogether a positive experience for such a happening. Thanks to the caring staff and Dr. for helping ease suffering of a very loved animal.
