In Clinic Euthanasia
Most local clinics will allow you to call to set up a euthanasia appointment for your senior animal (10+ years old) but may need to do an exam prior to euthanasia to establish care. Most clinics will NOT euthanize young pets (<10 years) with a treatable illness (allergies, torn ACL, arthritis)
ER clinics are available for after hours euthanasia in urgent cases ( hit by car, etc.)
