When goodbye
needs a gentle hand.

You do not have to navigate a difficult decision alone. Start with your veterinarian, then contact us if you need help discussing the next step.

Start with your veterinarian

FKSPCA recommends arranging euthanasia with your veterinarian, where you can be with your pet. Discuss health, comfort, and options with them first. If an emergency prevents your veterinarian from accommodating your pet, contact FKSPCA directly.

A decision deserves individual guidance

Your veterinarian can help assess your pet’s condition. Discuss serious behavior concerns with a veterinarian or qualified behavior professional rather than assuming euthanasia is the only option.

If you need to contact us

01

Speak with your veterinarian

Ask about your pet’s condition, options, and timing.

02

Call before coming in

Explain why you need help and what your veterinarian has advised.

03

Discuss arrangements

Ask the team what support is possible for your circumstances.

Room for grief. Room for memories.

♡

There is no single timetable

Give yourself and your household space to feel the loss.

🌿

Find support

Pet-loss counseling, support groups, and trusted people can help you through grief.

🐾

A future companion

Decide together when your family feels ready; a new animal does not replace the one you loved.
