The loss of a beloved pet is one of the most heartbreaking things a human can experience. At this difficult time, there are so many decisions to make about your little friend’s departure. At All Creatures Veterinary Center, we offer caring pet cremation and end of life care services with the goal of providing a dignified and loving goodbye for that special friend.
We respect every animal the same, so that all family members are respected. We are here to help you during this difficult time with compassion, empathy, and professional direction.
Our Pet Cremation Options
When the time comes for your pet to pass, we offer two primary directions in which their aftercare can go, and you may decide that is best for your family.
Individual Cremation
We are able to offer individual cremation for those wishing to bring home the ashes of their pet. Your pet is cremated individually, and the ashes are not mixed with others. Your pet’s ashes will be returned to All Creatures Veterinary Center in 7-10 days after your Home Pet Euthanasia Service appointment in a lovely wooden keepsake box as a memorial.
Communal Cremation
This is where multiple pets are cremated together. The ashes are never returned to the family. Instead, they are carefully spread out in a private, peaceful location among trees and creeks in the mountains. This option ensures that your pet is given final peace and respect in a natural environment.
Personalized Memorials and Keepsakes
As a part of our pet end-of-life care services, we provide opportunities for you to hold onto that physical memory of your mate.
- Paw Print Keepsakes: Similar to the hand print, but a paw print is unique. We are capable of making a clay impression of your pet’s paw to document their unique markings and offer you that comforting, permanent memento.
- Urns and Plaques: Following pet cremation, the ashes may be stored in a personalized urn. We also provide additional memorialization options, including engraved plaques or jewelry to memorialize your pet’s one-of-a-kind personality.
A Respectful Final Journey
Selecting pet cremation from All Creatures Veterinary Center, you can be confident knowing your pet will receive the care and respect they deserve. It starts with the tender and respectful care given to them in death. It is a way to acknowledge the deep connection you had and the life and love they brought into your home.
As you quietly say your goodbyes, we know your heart is full of both gratitude and sorrow. You treated your pet like family and received so much love and comfort. You set them free to peace now, and we are here to remind you that their memory is surrounded with a deep abiding love that will always exist beyond time.
