The Appointment

Saying goodbye is difficult decision and one that doesn’t have to be made alone.

end of life pet services Richmond

Dr. Hemsley will explain the entire procedure upon arrival.
If you have any questions, please ask, Dr. Hemsley is there to provide a peaceful passing for your pet as well as guidance for you and your family.
You, your family & pet will dictate the pace of the appointment.
The process itself is very peaceful.
- Dr. Hemsley will administer a sedative/pain medication. After the injection is administered, your pet will become fully relaxed usually within 5-10 minutes.
- Once your pet is relaxed, Dr. Hemsley will administer the euthanasia medication intravenously. This provides for a humane, painless and peaceful passing.
Dr. Hemsley will let you know once your pet has passed.
You may spend as much or as little time with them and please let Dr. Hemsley know if you’d prefer privacy or company.
- Many of our clients that want Dr. Hemsley to stay and provide support after will ask questions and/or share stories. This is encouraged.
The last step will depend on your choice for aftercare. Dr. Hemsley will transport your pet from your home for you if cremation services are desired.
