• Can I be with my pet and take its body home after the euthanasia?

  Unlike a private veterinary office, you will not be able to be with your pet during the procedure or take deceased pet with you after the procedure.

  In addition, Animal Services does not provide cremation services for deceased animals. For this reason, many pet owners choose to have a private veterinarian carry out the euthanasia procedure.
