Making decisions about end-of-life care for a beloved pet is one of the difficult things most pet owners will face. At Sawtooth Veterinary Services, we approach this sensitive time with compassion, respect, and kindness. Our team is committed to ensuring your pet’s comfort and dignity while providing you with the emotional support and information you need to make the best decisions for your companion. We’re here to help you navigate this journey with empathy and understanding.
Quality of Life Assessments
Determining when it's time to say goodbye is an intensely personal decision. Our veterinarians offer thoughtful quality of life assessments to help guide you through this process. We evaluate your pet and provide honest, compassionate recommendations based on their specific condition and circumstances. We'll discuss treatment options that might improve their comfort, help you recognize signs of suffering, and support whatever path you choose for your pet. Our goal is to prevent unnecessary suffering while giving you time to prepare emotionally and make arrangements that honor your bond with your pet.
Euthanasia Services
When the time comes to say goodbye, we provide gentle, compassionate euthanasia services in a quiet, comfortable environment. You may choose to be present during the procedure or say your goodbyes beforehand—we respect and accommodate your wishes. Our experienced team takes great care to ensure the process is painless and peaceful for your pet. We'll explain each step beforehand so you know what to expect, and we move at a pace that feels right for you and your family. We strive to make your pet's final moments as peaceful and dignified as possible.
Cremation Services
After your pet has passed, we offer cremation services through trusted partners who treat your pet with the utmost respect and care. You may choose between communal cremation or private cremation with the return of your pet's ashes in an urn or keepsake of your choice. We understand that the grieving process continues after saying goodbye, and we're here to support you during this difficult time.
