Grief Counseling

A decision concerning euthanasia may be one of the most difficult decisions you can ever make regarding your pet. West Davis Veterinary Clinic is here to help and provide resources to guide you through this difficult time.

If your pet is extremely sick or so severely injured that he or she will never recover normal health, perhaps the kindest thing you can do for your pet is help induce its death quietly and humanely through euthanasia. Your decision to have your pet euthanized is a serious one, and seldom easy to make. Below are grief counseling resources that we provide to our patients.
