How do I know when it is time?

There is rarely one clear moment. Many families find it helps to look at the good days and the bad days. Some questions to ask yourself:

• Does my pet still eat, drink and enjoy food?

• Can my pet get up, walk and go to the bathroom without help?

• Is pain under control with medicine?

• Does my pet still greet me, play or seek comfort?

• Are there now more bad days than good ones?

Keeping a simple calendar, with a mark for each good or bad day, can make the pattern clearer. The vet can also examine your pet and give an honest view. It is fine to ask, "What would you do?"

What happens during a euthanasia visit at Petfolk Grant Park?

1. Arrival. Tell the front desk why you're here, and the team will take you to a quiet room. Paperwork can be done ahead of time by phone.

2. Sedation. The vet first gives a sedative. Your pet relaxes and falls into a deep sleep over a few minutes.

3. Time together. You can stay, hold your pet and talk to them. Take as long as you need.

4. The final injection. When you're ready, the vet gives the medicine that stops the heart. It is quick and peaceful.

5. After. The vet listens to confirm your pet has passed. You can stay a while longer.

Gentle, Fear Free handling continues through the whole visit. Your pet won't be rushed.

Can my family be there?

Yes. Many families stay for the whole visit, and some prefer to say goodbye before the sedation. Both are fine. Older children often do well when they know what to expect. Other pets can sometimes come too, which may help them understand. Talk with the team about what fits your family.

Planning ahead

If you can, plan the visit in advance. Call to choose a quieter time and to settle payment ahead, so you don't have to think about it afterward. Bring a favorite blanket or toy. Some families take one last slow walk around the neighborhood or through Grant Park first, if their pet can manage it.

Ask the team about aftercare choices, such as cremation, and what can be arranged from this clinic. They will go over options and timing before the day.

Cost

The total depends on the visit and the aftercare you choose. You'll get an estimate before any test or treatment. The final bill can differ if the plan changes during the visit. The team can go over this by phone before you come in.

Caring for yourself

Grief after losing a pet is real. Give yourself time. Children and other pets may grieve too, in their own ways. A dog who lost a companion may search the house or eat less for a while. Keep routines steady, take short walks together, and call the clinic if a surviving pet stops eating for more than a day or two. Many families find comfort in a pet loss support line, a memorial at home, or simply talking with friends who knew the pet. The team at Petfolk Grant Park is glad to hear how you're doing.

If your pet is suffering right now

If your pet is in severe pain, can't breathe, or is having seizures and you can't reach the clinic, go to a 24-hour emergency hospital such as MedVet Atlanta on Century Circle NE. They can help keep your pet comfortable and talk through choices.
