What to Expect

Our visit begins by creating a calm and comforting environment. We offer your pet delicious treats—usually fried chicken or another favorite—before and during the administration of a gentle sedative. This helps ensure the experience starts with warmth and love, and is as stress-free as possible.

The Sedative

The sedative helps your pet feel calm, comfortable, and pain-free. It typically takes 10–15 minutes to take full effect. Once your pet is relaxed, we place an intravenous catheter and administer two medications:

  • The first induces deep anesthesia and complete unconsciousness

  • The second allows for a peaceful and painless passing

The Goodbye

We remain by your side throughout the entire visit, gently explaining each step so you feel informed and supported. We also bring beautiful roses to help create a dignified and heartfelt goodbye.

If you’d like, we can collect fur clippings or a clay paw print as a keepsake.

After the visit, we’ll transport your pet’s remains and plant a tree in their honor in a protected California forest. A certificate will be sent to you with your pet’s name and the name of the forest where the tree was planted.

We typically need a few days' notice to schedule our visit, though same- or next-day visits may be possible depending on availability. If you have a date or time in mind, we’ll do our best to accommodate.

If you’d like to talk through the process, we can schedule a call to answer any questions and explain the process in depth. If you have medical records, please email them to drgaby@beyondvet.care
