FAQs
How do I know when it’s the right time to say goodbye?
Making the choice to say goodbye to your beloved pet is never easy. At Kona’s Loving Paws, we offer both in home and virtual Quality of Life Consultations to help you navigate this emotional journey. Whether you’re noticing subtle changes in your pet’s behavior or facing a terminal diagnosis, our compassionate team is here to provide guidance and support. Please explore our additional resources for more information.
Is euthanasia the kindest choice for my pet, or should I allow a natural passing?
Deciding between euthanasia and a natural passing is never easy. Every pet’s situation is unique, and the ultimate decision is a personal one.

A natural passing may involve pain, distress, or prolonged suffering, especially if your pet has a terminal or painful condition. Euthanasia, on the other hand, is a way to gently and painlessly relieve suffering when quality of life has significantly declined. It allows you to say goodbye in a calm, controlled, and loving way — often at home or in a peaceful setting.

If you’re uncertain and would like some additional support we offer both Virtual and In-Home quality of life consultations and can guide you through the options with compassion and honesty.

How can in-home euthanasia provide a more peaceful experience than a clinic visit?
In-home euthanasia allows your pet to remain in a familiar, comfortable environment surrounded by the people they love most. There’s no stress from car rides, waiting rooms, or unfamiliar smells. Instead, your pet can rest peacefully in their favorite spot while you say goodbye in a calm, private setting that honors their life with love and dignity.
Can family members or other pets be present during the appointment?
Yes. We encourage families and even other household pets to be present if they wish—it helps everyone find closure and comfort.
How much time should we plan for our pet’s peaceful goodbye?

The entire visit typically lasts about 30 to 60 minutes. We take our time to ensure your pet is calm and comfortable, and that you and your family have the space you need to say goodbye without feeling rushed.

“Kona's loving paws provides such a wonderful service to pet owners who want a peaceful living process. When it was time for our other pets to go, our vet was very kind and loving but our little Yorkie hated car rides and going to the vet. We were able to have him comfortable at home in his favor spot. She loving took a paw print and a nose print from Jake and she lit a candle. I would highly recommend her."

"During this very difficult time, Kona's Loving Paws staff were compassionate and caring. Dr. Bowers helped our beautiful boy pass over the Rainbow Bridge with his brother and his human family by his side. Thank you for being there for us and Kylo."

Kimberly

"We are so thankful to Kona's Loving Paws and Dr. Simona Rikh for helping us say goodbye to our sweet Marley. Dr. Rikh came to our home and treated Marley with such compassion, kindness, and dignity. The process was peaceful and gentle, which gave us the comfort we needed in such an impossible moment. While our hearts are broken and we will miss Marley every single day, we are grateful that his final moments were spent at home with his mommies surrounded by love. We will forever appreciate the care and support Dr. Rikh provided to our family."

Ashlee

"Unfortunately, we needed someone when we were not planned to say goodbye to our dog, Calli. When we reached our to Kona's Paws they responded Quickly and listened to what we had going on. Dr. Rathjens came that day and I cant say enough good things about her and the company. She was very personal and explained the entire process to us. She took the time to get to know who Calli was and how much she meant our family. Thank you for allowing us to do this in our home and make our dog comfortable throughout the process."
