Euthanasia
We form very strong bonds with our animal companions. To many of us, they truly are members of our family, which makes the decision to say goodbye one of the hardest things to do.
Our final moments with our loved ones should not be compromised. In-home euthanasia provides a more compassionate, tranquil setting within familiar surroundings.
Dr. Cooney will obtain a medical history when an appointment to euthanize is made. This will assist Dr. Cooney and the pet owner in evaluating health and quality of life, providing both with peace of mind that ending a beloved pet's life is the humane and compassionate course of action to take.
Additional Services:
In additional to in-home euthanasia, clients are provided with the option, for an additional fee, for:
- Cremation services provided by Pet Heaven Crematorium & Funeral Chapel, with the following options:
- Private cremation where only your pet is cremated and ashes are returned to you
- Communal cremation where your pet will be cremated with others and no ashes are returned
