 In Home Euthanasia

~Peaceful Transitions at Home~


When the time comes for your beloved pet to transition from suffering to peace, we are here to support you with compassionate care in the comfort and privacy of your home. For many families, experiencing a gentle, in-home passing is a deeply meaningful and comforting alternative to traditional clinical settings.

For those who desire a peaceful goodbye but are unable to pursue in-home euthanasia due to financial constraints, we also offer in-clinic euthanasia at a reduced cost to ensure every pet and family can access a dignified end-of-life experience.

Hospice Care
Who is this program for?
This program is designed for pets diagnosed with terminal illnesses such as cancer, kidney failure, cognitive dysfunction (dementia), and other life-limiting conditions.

Our goal is to ensure comfort, dignity, and quality of life through compassionate in-home care. Services include:

  • Comprehensive pain management
  • Support for appetite stimulation and hydration
  • Supplemental and herbal therapies tailored to your pet’s needs
  • Personalized medication planning to address evolving symptoms

We provide gentle, ongoing guidance and emotional support for families throughout the end-of-life journey. Our approach avoids invasive testing or procedures, focusing instead on your pet’s comfort and peace.

Families are offered compassionate counseling and clear guidance in choosing between a hospice-supported natural passing or in-home euthanasia, according to their values and their pet’s needs.

​​​What to expect on the day of euthanasia:
Our team will arrive at your home within 30 minutes of the scheduled appointment time, bringing a comfort basket with all necessary supplies.

Upon arrival, you will be asked to review and sign consent paperwork. Payment is typically processed prior to the procedure via a secure digital platform. This requires a stable Wi-Fi or cellular connection. If preferred, we can email the forms and invoice up to 24 hours in advance, allowing you to complete and return them prior to the visit.

When you feel ready, your pet will be gently administered a powerful sedative via a small injection just beneath the skin near the hip area. This sedative is designed to bring your pet into a deep, peaceful sleep.

During this time, we kindly ask that you soothe and comfort your pet—perhaps by petting or speaking to them—to help them remain calm and distracted. Most pets do not react to the injection; however, a few may briefly vocalize before settling down peacefully.

The sedative typically takes 5 to 20 minutes to take full effect. We will closely monitor your pet and will not proceed with the final injection until they are completely unconscious.

The final medication, which ensures a painless and peaceful passing, is administered into the rear leg. At this stage, your pet will be fully unconscious and will not feel any sensation. You are welcome to stay close, speak to your pet, and offer your love and presence as they gently cross the Rainbow Bridge.

Following their transition, we can create a clay paw print impression as a keepsake, if you wish.

​​Care for the remains include Aquamation or home burial:
We offer several respectful aftercare options following your pet’s peaceful passing:

Aquamation (Water-Based Cremation): We can transport your pet’s remains for aquamation. You may choose to have the ashes returned to you in a memorial urn, or have them respectfully scattered on private land near Lamy.

Home Burial: If you prefer to lay your pet to rest at home, we strongly recommend digging a grave at least four feet deep to help prevent disturbance by wildlife. Our team is available to assist you in gently placing your pet into the burial site.

Self-Transport for Cremation: If you choose to handle cremation arrangements on your own, we are happy to assist with respectfully placing your pet into your vehicle for transport.


We are offering aquamtion services in-house.  You can check out our website here: chamisa-aquamation.com
