End of Life Services
End of Life Services
The hardest part of loving a pet is knowing when to let go. When your pet’s quality of life is deteriorating – when he or she is no longer interested in food, experiencing extreme pain, overly depressed, or cannot control defecation or urination – it is time to do the truly loving thing and make a decision about helping them on their way.
End-of-life euthanasia services are available Tuesday through Saturday, from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm. While appointments are not required, we encourage you to schedule one so we can best support you and your pet. You can schedule an appointment here.
Please note that our service requires that you sign your pet over for euthanasia and we are not able to accommodate owners being present during the procedure.
