During this pandemic, can I be with my cat? I may be needing to putting him to sleep soon. He has hip problems and is 18 years old. No need for surgery.

They will let you in to be with your cat, if you have to euthanize him. We just had to put my Mom's 15-year old Chihuahua to sleep there on 1/3/2021. They were very caring and understanding. However, I also thought that service, like all their services, was expensive. If cost is a concern at all and you know your cat will need to be euthanized, I suggest you call a few places and find out their policies and prices. Our regular vet is ABC Hospital in San Marcos. Also, Dr. Ichord in San Marcos is very caring and very good. I personally had to put my cat and dog down there on the same weekend. It was a traumatic and unexpected situation that they handled in a very caring and gentle manner. Any of these 3 places are very good. Cost is probably the only difference between them. Also, there are mobile services, so your pet can remain comfortably at home. I don't know their cost, but I like that idea if you know ahead of time that it's your pet's time. Much sympathy to you.

I don't believe they let you stay with your animal. They come and get them from the vehicle here. I do believe that you can look into at home euthanasia if you are interested. I did that with one of my cats a couple years ago. It was more relaxing for the animal.
