For Pet Owners

A collection of resources and articles so you can learn more about home euthanasia.

Have you thought about your plans after euthanasia?

It is helpful to consider your remembrance options before booking in a home euthanasia. You may choose to bury your pet at home, or you may want your pet cremated, and may or may not want ashes back. If you choose cremation, Paw Prints can transport your pet directly to Pet Farewells.

You may also want to consider clipping a bit of fur, or removing your pet’s collar to keep at home. Some owners prefer to do their own ink or clay paw (or nose) prints. Paw Print can also create clay paw prints of your pet, by request.

There are a variety of other options available for remembering your pet, which Paw Prints can help organize. For more information, see the following links:
