End of Life Care

At Foothills Animal Hospital and Emergency Center, we understand that saying goodbye to a beloved pet is one of the most difficult experiences a family can face. Our compassionate team is here to support you and your pet with empathy, respect, and guidance every step of the way. We are committed to providing a peaceful, dignified experience that honors the special bond you share.

Our veterinarians and staff take the time to help you understand your pet’s medical condition and quality of life so that you can make the decision that feels right for your family. When the time comes, we provide gentle, compassionate euthanasia services in a calm and private setting, allowing you to be present and say goodbye in your own way.

We recognize that every family’s wishes are unique, and we offer several options for aftercare so that you can choose what best suits your needs and beliefs:

Aftercare Options

• Take your pet home for private burial.
• Communal cremation, where your pet is cremated respectfully with other pets. Ashes are not returned, but all animals are treated with care and dignity.
• Private cremation, where your pet is cremated and their ashes are returned to you in a beautiful urn for safekeeping or memorial display.

To help you cherish your pet’s memory, we also offer the option of a clay or ink paw print keepsake as a lasting tribute to the life and love you shared.

Our team is available to discuss your wishes in advance or at the time of need, ensuring that every detail is handled with compassion and sensitivity. We understand how deeply pets touch our lives, and we are here to provide comfort and care for both you and your pet during this difficult time.

At F Hospital, we are honored to help families navigate this meaningful part of their pet’s journey with kindness, dignity, and love.
