Losing a pet, whether they pass away at home or you elect humane euthanasia, is never easy. A pet is a member of the family. The term, “man’s best friend,” brings to mind unconditional love, constant companionship and acceptance. You pet can take you for a walk, listen when you need someone to talk to, lower blood pressure and heart rate, or alleviate feelings of chronic loneliness. With this capacity to love you pet, comes the necessity to grieve when that “best friend” dies. The death of a pet is, without a doubt, a traumatic experience. LazyPaw Animal Hospitals is here to help make that time a little less difficult. If you would like more information on the process of euthanasia and what to expect during the process, our staff will be happy to assist you. It is your decision whether to be present for the procedure and how you would like the remains handled. You can have your pet cremated and opt to have the ashes returned to you in a nice wooden urn that is personalized with your pet’s name and picture if you choose, or you can have the ashes buried on site at our local crematorium/pet cemetery. Toothacres Pet Cemetery has been serving the animal lovers of Texas since 1979 and is LazyPaw Animal Hospitals top choice in handling final arrangements for your furry family member. Depending on your needs, Toothacres has customizable options to ensure you get the highest quality care regardless of breed, size, type of service or budget. Toothacres offers complimentary pick up at our veterinary hospital and transport to their location for final arrangements. From there, your pet will either be buried on site, cremated and buried on site for visitation, or cremated with remains returned to LazyPaw Animal Hospitals within 1-2 business days.
