Our services include compassionate and individualized in home euthanasia, quality of life assessments, hospice care, and respectful aftercare for pets that have already passed. Decisions regarding end-of-life care for your beloved pets are extremely difficult - we at Faithful Hearts MVS understand that. Many dogs and cats are fearful of visits to the vet's office, or even the car rides to get there.
The last thing you want to do at this fragile time in your pet's life is to stress them or cause discomfort unnecessarily. Faithful Hearts was started with the goal of offering help regarding the choices and timelines associated with your older dog or cat's care, in the comfort of their very own home, with expertise and empathy. We strive to help pets and owners peacefully through every step of the process.
However, due to the nature of veterinary end-of-life care, Dr. Alissa Anderson strives to be as available as possible and can schedule euthanasia appointments most evenings, holidays, and weekends.

Please note that our prices will be higher than a veterinary clinic's, to compensate for travel time and distance and due to our commitment to ensuring that you have enough time throughout and after the process to say goodbye to your companion.
We do our best to keep our prices as low as we can while providing exceptional, individual care to every pet and family.
This is an appointment where all of your questions regarding the process will be answered in detail.
When everyone is prepared, an injection will be given gently to help your pet relax and gradually go into a deep, painless sleep with you by his or her side (sometimes more than one injection is needed to ensure your pet is completely unaware, and that is OK).

Animals do not always express pain in ways that we expect, and most animals will innately hide their pain.
Your pet sees keeping you happy as their #1 job, and so they will often be responsive to you, wag their tail, and continue to eat through significant pain.
For anyone who has loved a pet, considering whether or not to euthanize is an agonizing decision.
You may avoid it altogether.
But we have this choice, this amazing gift, to end their suffering and to help them pass peacefully.
It is important that we use this opportunity wisely.

The bond we share with our pets is incredibly strong, and it is completely normal to feel heartbroken or angry at their passing, or even in anticipation of their loss.
The healing period is often long and extremely difficult.
The following are some resources available to help you through this process.
There are several books such as those below available on Amazon, including ones focusing on children's grief after the loss of a pet.
The Association of Pet Loss and Bereavement is a unique organization that offers free support for grief.
