Pet Cremation and Euthanasia Services

Resources for pet bereavement


Animals surrendered for euthanasia


Euthanasia is never an easy decison. It takes a great deal of strength and love. We understand that the decision is difficult and we will do our part to make your pet's passing gentle and pain free.

All animals are euthanized by a certified Animal Care Technician with a painless injection of sodium pentobarbital. Owners are not present for the procedure.

The fees for euthanasia are as follows:

Dog/Cat: $50
Small Companion Animal: $20

This service is available during normal business hours. Please call (415) 883-4621 for more information.
