“Euthanasia” translates literally to “good death,” and as a doula I aim to provide a compassionate experience for both you and your companion animal when it is their time to pass. When attending and supporting a euthanasia, I can guide or assist you in preparing the space so that it feels comfortable for both you and your animal. I can bear witness to and honor the very special bond between you and your animal. And I can offer emotional support, holding space for your grief.
Some animal guardians do not feel comfortable being present themselves at the euthanasia procedure, but would still like a caring support person to be present for their animal as they pass. I can attend and support you and your animal in this way as well.
Euthanasia Attendance & Support (up to 2 hours): $175 USD
This offering is available virtually; or in-person within my service area in Washington State, which includes Redmond, Kirkland, Woodinville, Bothell, Kenmore, Lake Forest Park, Brier, Mountlake Terrace, Lynnwood, and Mill Creek. If the location of the euthanasia procedure (ie: your home or your veterinarian’s office) is outside of my service area, I may be able to provide in-person attendance & support for an additional travel fee.
Community and accessibility are important, so a number of sliding scale spots are reserved each month should cost be a barrier. Please contact me for sliding scale availability. Unfamiliar with sliding scale? Learn more here.
In order to provide you with the best possible personalized support, please reach out to me directly to schedule this offering.
Disclaimer: Companion animal end-of-life doulas offer non-medical emotional and informational support. I am not a veterinarian, therapist, or emergency service. If you or your animal are experiencing an emergency, please reach out to appropriate emergency services.
