Has anyone had to use curbside vet services because of covid?

I was behind an SUV on Tuesday and on the back window there was written a message stating “In Home Euthanasia for Your Pet.” I had to ask some friends about this and it seems that this is gaining popularity.

There are a couple of vets around here who have been doing this for a long time -- usually when a dog is too large for its owner to physically lift and get into the car, or for people who just want their pet to slip away in his/her normal environment.

Well, thank God my dog didn't need that!

A friend had her vet come to her home to euthanize her pet. They did it out on the patio

I thought to myself how thoughtful of an idea this was. I know that for some pet owners taking their pet to the Vet to have it put down can be and probably is a very traumatic experience Having it done in the comfort of their home not only lessens the stress on the pet owner, but also on the pet. I never saw a dog (especially) or a cat that really was excited bout going to the Vets.

I have to think on that. There is the issue of having to dispose of the body, too, and I wonder how it is done when you do it at home. Many pet "owners" have their pets cremated and put in an urn or some kind of vessel. Actually, I don't even want to think about it but I know I may have to some day if she doesn't outlive me.
