End-of-Life Care & Euthanasia

We understand it can be heartbreaking when your pet is near the end of their life and that decisions regarding their care aren’t easy. We are committed to providing the most peaceful and humane end-of-life experience to every animal brought to us for euthanasia and treat every animal with dignity and compassion. To request a euthanasia appointment, please call us at 504-368-5191 – this type of appointment cannot be made online. The costs to humanely euthanize a pet are based on the pet’s weight.

Private Cremation Option

For private cremation, we work with our partners at Heaven’s Pets. If you select this option, we will reach out to Heaven’s Pets on your behalf. Once the service is initiated, Heaven’s Pets will reach out to you directly to collect payment and verify all information is correct. They will also offer you additional keepsakes if you choose. Heaven’s Pets will then come to our facility to collect your pet for cremation. Once completed, you can choose to pick up your pet from us or from Heaven’s Pets. Prices for a private cremation start at $200.
