Question 3

How do I know when it's time to say goodbye to my pet?

Accepted Answer

Deciding when it is time is one of the hardest parts of loving an aging or ill pet. Dr. Hendrix offers Quality of Life Consultations — a solitary in-home appointment where she helps you evaluate your pet's comfort, mobility, appetite, and overall wellbeing, and talks through your options without any pressure to make an immediate decision. Many families find that having this conversation with an experienced palliative veterinarian brings clarity and peace, whatever they ultimately decide.

Question 4

What happens during an at-home pet euthanasia visit?

Accepted Answer

Dr. Hendrix arrives at your home and takes time to meet your pet and your family where you are most comfortable — a favorite chair, a sunny spot in the yard, or your lap. She explains every step before she begins. Your pet is first given a gentle sedative so they relax completely and feel no stress. When you are ready, the final medication is given, and your pet passes peacefully in your arms. Dr. Hendrix moves at your pace throughout, giving you as much time as you need.

Question 5

What species do you see?

Accepted Answer

Dr. Hendrix provides palliative care and euthanasia for dogs and cats up to 100 pounds. She also provides euthanasia services for rabbits, goats, sheep, rats, and mice. We are not currently able to see aggressive or reactive animals, or accept new ongoing palliative care clients.

Question 6

Can you come same-day or next-day?

Accepted Answer

Appointments are available four days a week, and on those days we can often accommodate same-day or next-day appointments. Late-afternoon and early-evening appointments are sometimes available as well. Please call (916) 348-8397 to check availability for your situation.
