Euthanasia & Aftercare

After all options have been exhausted or when your pet simply tells you it’s time to let him or her go, Turkey Creek Animal Hospital can help you provide a humane solution. We know how difficult it is to say goodbye to a loved one, but sometimes it is the best way to show them we care. Our euthanasia procedures are completely painless to pets, and work within a few minutes to ease your pet’s passing.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you need help making this decision or if you need to schedule an appointment to end suffering and have your pet put to sleep (euthanized). Explain your situation to our staff and see if there is an appointment available first thing in the morning or late in the afternoon. This will allow you as much time as you feel you need to say goodbye. 

When you schedule your appointment, or during your visit, please let us know whether you’d like to take your pet’s body home for burial or if you would like us to have your pet buried or cremated (we can return cremated remains to you for honorariums/urns/etc.).

PLEASE NOTE: The State of Florida requires that all euthanized animals be disposed of in a hygienic manner. If you choose not to keep your pet’s remains, they will be collected by a licensed animal burial/crematory service.
