Our pets bring us joy and happiness beyond compare. The deep love we have for our pets causes profound loss when it’s time to say goodbye. We understand the overwhelming sorrow that results from the death of a dearly loved companion.
Knowing when to say goodbye is different for every pet. Some express the feeling that their pet let them know it was okay to let them go. But it can be difficult when your pet has a few good days followed by some bad ones. We feel conflicted because we want to be able to have them in our lives as long as possible, but we don’t want them to suffer either. We expect sadness, but it can also lead to feelings of guilt after we make the decision to let go. Guilt is a common and natural response when we lose a pet. Whether we have struggled with the decision to euthanize or our pet died as a result of illness or an accident, feelings of guilt can be one of the most difficult emotions to resolve. Please know these feelings are a natural part of the grieving process.
We are here to help you in any way we can. Our compassionate and caring doctors can help you decide when it’s time to say goodbye. You do not have to make the decision alone. Being pet lovers and owners, we have all had the very same feelings at some point. It’s true that opening your heart to a pet means having to experience eventual loss, but we would not have it any other way.
We partner with Anderson-McQueen to provide dignified pet cremation services to make this major life passage one of meaning and significance. They have their own private, on-premises Pet Crematory, so you can rest assured that your pet will go from our compassionate care to theirs and be treated with dignity.
We are pleased to be able to now offer Memorial Packages to provide you with a special keepsake of your beloved pet:
Private Memorial Package: Your pet’s ashes within a wooden memorial box will be delivered back to us within days for you to pick up whenever you are ready. Anderson-McQueen provides SecurePassages pet tracking system for your peace of mind. Additionally, we will make a clay impression of your pet’s paw-print that you can take home with you the same day.
Private Cremation: The same service as above, but does not include clay paw-print.
Memorial Package: Your pet will be cremated with the same honor and dignity Anderson-McQueen is trusted for, but the ashes of your pet are not returned. We will make a clay impression of your pet’s paw-print that you can take home with you the same day.
