Aftercare Options

We work with our trusted aftercare partner, Pet Meadow, to ensure your pet is treated with the utmost dignity. You will have choices based on your personal wishes and beliefs, including:

  • Private or communal cremation
  • Memorial keepsakes (paw prints, fur clippings, urns, and more)
  • Grief support resources and referral options

Our veterinary team will discuss your preferences with you and handle all coordination to make this time as gentle as possible.
