Most pet owners often know when their pet’s end of life is approaching. They’re really starting to slow down, and they’re struggling more and more with their daily movements. Many older pets also suffer from debilitating or incurable diseases that cause pain and discomfort.
When you first contact us about pet euthanasia services, we will start with a phone consultation and pre-euthanasia consultation if needed. If you aren’t sure the time is right, we can discuss your pet’s quality of life. This includes their overall health condition and signs of pain. We suggest euthanasia over letting an animal pass on their own so that they can be surrounded by their loved ones in their final moments. Unfortunately, dying naturally is often preceded by long periods of anxiety and suffering. When your pet’s quality of life has diminished to the point where they are no longer living a life that they were once enjoying, making the decision to euthanize is a kind way to say goodbye.
If you aren’t yet ready to consider euthanasia,
we can try to give you the time you need to come to terms with the decision with palliative and hospice care. Though we can only do so much, these treatments will alleviate the suffering of your pet for a while to ensure their comfort.
In the end, no one knows better than you do when it comes to saying goodbye.
We can offer guidance and information about their medical state, but ultimately the decision up to you. Our philosophy when it comes to our furry companions is quality of life over quantity.

Euthanasia with Communal Cremation
Also referred to as “general” or “group” cremation. Communal Cremation means that your pet will be cremated along with other pets and the cremated remains will not be returned to you. The remains will be spread at sea off the local coast. You have the option of receiving a custom clay paw print of your pet with communal cremation.

Euthanasia with Partitioned (Private) Cremation
In partitioned cremation, your pet is cremated with other pets in the same cremation unit, but they are completely partitioned and separated. The cremation service has very stringent internal quality control procedures that are followed meticulously with each pet that is cremated. We return each pet in a lovely cedar urn with a custom name tag, clay paw print of your pet, and a blooming wildflower memorial card. Remains will be hand delivered back to the owner in 2-3 weeks. If desired, please ask about urn upgrades.
Small Cats and Dogs <50 lbs........ $675
Medium Dogs 50-100 lbs............... $775
Large Dogs 100-150 lbs................ $825
Giant Dogs >150lb........................... Please Call
Euthanasia with Individual Cremation ...... Please Inquire
The euthanasia process is the same as above. In the case of individual cremation, your pet is the only one in the cremation chamber. When choosing individual versus partitioned (private), there is no difference in receiving your pets remains. The individual cremation is more costly because your pet is the only one in the large cremation chamber. Individual cremation with viewings are available to owners. Please ask for more information.
The standard service area includes all cities in Orange County and Long Beach. Extended travel outside of these areas (Los Angeles and Inland Empire) will incur an extra $50-$150 charge. Aggressive animal charge is an extra $50. We do not charge extra for after hours, weekends, or if an assistant is needed. Short notice appointments, when available, are at no extra charge as well.
