End-of-Life & Euthanasia

We are here for you.

Our team will make every effort to make your pet as comfortable as possible in their final days when it becomes clear that they are prepared to cross the Rainbow Bridge. We will gently review your options for end-of-life care and assist you in making the best choice for your pet and your family. Palliative care may be an option to help your pet live comfortably at home.

The decision to euthanize your beloved family pet is a difficult and emotionally painful one. The Island Tides Veterinary Hospital team is here to support you through the entire process. The most important part of a pet’s journey across the Rainbow Bridge is their comfort and experience. We do our best to provide a quiet environment in the clinic to ensure a peaceful and relaxing transition for them.
