Some people feel very strongly that they wish to stay by their side until the end, whereas others may feel that they either can’t stay or would rather say their goodbyes and leave.
It is a good idea to discuss which family members wish to be present, as well as who would like to say their goodbyes beforehand. The vet may decide to give your animal some sedation before the last injection so staying until they have fallen asleep maybe a good halfway point for those who are unsure.
There is no right or wrong and rest assured that one of our lovely nurses will stay with them should you wish to leave.
