Euthanasia of animals at Haabersti Loomaklinik
An incurable disease is a severe trial for both the animal and its owner. If the disease is progressing, causing the pet only pain and suffering, there is only one way out of such a situation – painless euthanasia of animals. This service is usually resorted to by the owners of dogs and cats, however, euthanasia of other types of pets, such as guinea pigs or ferrets, is possible.
How is painless euthanasia of animals carried out?
Euthanasia is a simple and completely painless procedure. The euthanasia of animals is carried out by injecting a large dose of anesthetic into the vein, which allows the pet to gradually fall asleep, lose consciousness, and die peacefully. The veterinarian injects the drug into the vein of the front paw, and the process of loss of consciousness and death occurs within a few minutes after the injection. Intramuscular injection of the drug is also possible.
Indications for euthanasia
Only a doctor can determine the possibility and advisability of euthanasia. This procedure is the most extreme measure. Euthanasia of an animal is possible only in those situations when neither surgical nor medical treatment can relieve the pet’s suffering.
Among the indications for euthanasia are:
- Severe injuries that are incompatible with life;
- Congenital pathologies that cause the animal suffering and are incurable;
- Severe diseases that are incurable (including advanced stage oncology, incurable heart and vascular pathologies, respiratory system diseases, etc.).
Euthanasia allows relieving a sick pet from pre-death suffering. It is a difficult, but humane decision. Euthanasia of healthy individuals is not carried out.

There are two humane methods of euthanasia:
Animals are sedated intramuscularly before being put to sleep. After a few minutes, the patient falls into a deep sleep. The veterinarian then administers an injection that stops breathing.
The second option involves an intravenous catheter, through which the drug enters the bloodstream. The pet loses consciousness in seconds and dies. The doctor may first administer the anesthetic through a venous catheter.
The service of putting animals to sleep is performed in a clinic. The procedure is performed by a veterinarian in a specially equipped room. In the process of the procedure, only high-quality and certified drugs are used. To a greater extent, it depends on the price of the service.
