Hello, I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your dog. Euthanizing a beloved pet is an incredibly difficult decision, and it's normal to have questions about the process. In veterinary medicine, we typically use a sedative along with an anesthetic overdose to gently and painlessly help pets pass away.
The sedative used is often a medication designed to relax and calm your dog, making sure they are comfortable and peaceful. This is usually followed by an injection of an anesthetic agent, commonly a drug like pentobarbital, which gently and gradually stops heart and brain activity. This two-step process ensures a calm and pain-free transition.
Understanding what to expect can provide some solace. If your dog passed peacefully, it means the process went as intended. While your pet's passing is a heavy burden to carry, knowing they were comfortable can be a small comfort.

It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
