Euthanasia is an option considered for a pet when recovery or a comfortable existence is highly unlikely. If you are considering euthanasia for your pet, please schedule an appointment so our staff at East Longmeadow Animal Hospital can evaluate your pet and provide you with the medical treatment options available.

Euthanasia is an injection of an anesthetic overdose into a vein of your pet which causes them to pass away quickly and painlessly. We also offer End-of-Life & Euthanasia services here at East Longmeadow Animal Hospital.

East Longmeadow Animal Hospital advises that Kittens and puppies require vaccinations between 6-8 weeks, then 12 weeks, and 16 weeks. After that, your kitten and puppy should receive annual check-ups to receive routine care and rabies vaccinations by state law.

Rabies vaccine is required by Mass. state law. East Longmeadow Animal Hospital recommends cats receive rabies annually and canines every three years after their first initial rabies vaccines.

East Longmeadow Animal Hospital advised the following for neutering. Dogs: Typically dogs are neutered around six to nine months of age. If you have an adult dog, they can still be neutered. For canines, spay and neuter recommendations vary based on breed and size of the pet. Your vet will provide you with recommendations based on the individual patient during an exam. Cats: Kittens can be spayed or neutered as young as six months old. It is recommended that you spay or neuter your cat before they are five months old.
