Because our pets cannot clearly express to us their level of pain, it can sometimes be difficult to know when to help your pet move on. Signs of pain can include panting, falling, difficulty getting up or lying down, and eliminating in the house. Many pets suffering from significant arthritis pain continue to eat well, wag their tail, and still have that sparkle in their eyes. Their innate drive to push on can make it difficult for us to tell when our pet is suffering. Unfortunately, lack of muscle caused by old age makes arthritis pain worse; your pet may feel like they are trapped in a constantly aching body. Sometimes, they need relief more than we may realize. Dr. Karen is a good listener and can help you assess your individual situation by phone or in a personal visit.
The procedure involves administering an overdose of anesthesia. A falling asleep feeling is what your pet experiences. A single intravenous injection is appropriate for passive pets. A calming sedative can be given first to ease anxious pets. Most visits last 15-30 minutes.
Please provide a towel and a blanket that can be kept with your pet. A towel is helpful for any urine leakage and a blanket serves as a cozy wrap for gently transporting your pet for cremation.
Small pets nestle in Dr. Karen's passenger seat and larger pets rest comfortably in her SUV. Dr. Karen handles the cremation for you. If you feel that having your pet's ashes returned would be comforting, Dr. Karen will deliver them back to you personally.
Many people have this concern. Dr. Karen has interviewed, researched, and probed every cremation service in the greater Chicago and Milwaukee area. She has also been attentive to word of mouth. Mark Lux is the sole owner and operator of Paris Pet Crematory in Union Grove, WI. He is the husband of a veterinarian and he started his clean, quality-equipped facility after going through the passing of his own pet. He wanted to provide something better, more compassionate and dignified. Mark understands how it feels to lose a pet. He cares. Private cremation means your pet is cremated by themselves, thus their ashes alone are saved for you inside a velvet bag which is then placed in a paw print tin. For those who prefer cremation without saving the ashes, pets are cremated in a group and their ashes are spread in the fields surrounding Paris Pet Crematory.
