I know for myself I want my furbutts to pass at home surrounded by their family. I would find a vet to do it at my home. The vets office always bothers my furbutts. I believe humans and animals should pass at home whenever possible and not in a clinical setting.
There are books you can get from the bookstore or public library to introduce the topic to your kidshttp://childrensbooks.about.com/od/themesubjectbooksby/tp/petdeath.htm
Mine always get a formal funeral in the backyard in their favorite place outside with one of their cherished belongings and a lock of the other furbutts hair placed with them. Lucky is on the hill in my parents backyard so he can watch the sunset as is Zoey. My mom's bichon is in the herb garden which has sun most of the day- He loved to watch the sunset.
My thoughts and prayers are with you. |
