If your pet passes away at home, you may schedule a transfer through our services. We then come to your home and bring your pet to our facility. You also have the option of bringing your pet directly to our facility during our hours of operation. Some individuals choose to place their pets in a carrier or a box for easier transport. If you are wanting time to go over your options, we recommend keeping your pet cool in an area such as a freezer. Please contact us at (780) 756-7387 with any further inquiries.

Will we do not have a veterinarian on staff, we are partnered with several mobile clinics who may preform at home euthanasias for your family.
