Vet for pet euthanasia in Pune — what to ask before you book

Home vs clinic in Pune

Pune’s traffic and the East-West sprawl make clinic visits a meaningful welfare burden for end-stage animals across the city. Home is kinder for most cases when feasible. Home-visit availability is best in Koregaon Park, Kalyani Nagar, Aundh, Baner, and Hinjewadi.

Eight questions to ask any vet

What sedation will you use, at what dose?
Will you confirm unconsciousness before the lethal injection?
What lethal agent do you use? (See our drug explainer.)
Can I be present throughout?
How long will the appointment last?
What if IV access fails?
What does cremation cost and how is it arranged?
May I see the consent form in advance?
