When medicinal interventions no longer enhance your pet’s well-being or offer relief, euthanasia can be a compassionate choice to relieve a suffering pet. Making the decision to euthanize a cherished pet can stand as one of the toughest choices a pet parent may face. At VetCheck Pet Urgent Care Center-Greenwood and Indianapolis in Indianapolis, IN, we provide exceptional emergency pet care during these challenging moments, ensuring you and your pet are treated with compassion and understanding.

Euthanasia is performed in a peaceful and comfortable environment by one of our experienced veterinarians at VetCheck Pet Urgent Care Center-Greenwood and Indianapolis in Indianapolis, IN, where same-day urgent care is a standard. Each veterinarian follows a carefully designed process to ensure saying goodbye is as calm and gentle as possible, for both the pet and the owner. Our emergency vet services are dedicated to making this process as stress-free as possible.

The veterinarian begins by administering a sedative to induce a relaxed, sleep-like state. Once the pet is fully sedated, an overdose of a concentrated anesthetic-like drug is administered, peacefully stopping brain and heart functions without causing discomfort or stress. Any reflexes observed during the process are natural and don't imply distress. At our urgent care center, the veterinarian ensures that the pet's vital functions have ceased with the utmost care.

Pet owners have the option to remain in the room, holding or petting their pet, during the procedure or leave their pets in the arms of our caring staff, knowing their pet will be treated as one of our own. Whichever option they choose, owners can trust that at VetCheck Pet Urgent Care Center-Greenwood and Indianapolis in Indianapolis, IN, their pet will receive compassionate pet urgent care throughout the process.
