Our Mission
At Hearts and Paws, our purpose is to support you and your pet through the transition of saying farewell in a serene setting, right within the comfort of your home. Our team of veterinarians is adept at providing guidance during this tender period, ensuring that both you and your beloved companion receive the care and consideration you deserve.
The concept of euthanasia, derived from the Greek roots "eu" meaning good and "thanatos" meaning death, underscores our commitment to facilitating a peaceful passage for your cherished pet. Loss and the journey through grief are daunting to face alone, and we extend our hand to assist you in granting your loyal companion a dignified and serene farewell.
Knowing When It’s Time
Recognizing the right moment to bid adieu can be agonizing, and we empathize with the weight of this decision. Monitoring your pet for signs of declining quality of life is essential. Changes in mobility, appetite, behavior, and overall demeanor can signal their needs. Our Gilbert veterinarians are available to provide professional insights, aiding in your assessment of your pet's well-being and offering support as you navigate this challenging phase.
Good Days & Bad Days
Every pet parent knows their furry friend best. Keeping track of their "good days" and "bad days" can offer clarity amidst the uncertainty. When the scales tip towards more difficult days, it may signify the time to consider the next steps for your beloved companion.
At Hearts and Paws, we offer tailored services to honor your pet's memory and your family's wishes. Whether you opt for a serene home burial, cremation with communal remembrance, or a private cremation with ashes returned, we are here to facilitate the process with sensitivity and care.
Our Services
We provide different options for your family depending on what your last wishes are for your cherished companion:
- Euthanasia Only (for home burial or pet cementery) - $400: This option includes the mobile veterinary call fee, veterinary services fee, sedation, and home euthanasia.
- Group Cremation (no pet ashes returned) - $500: This option includes the same services as listed above as well as the fee for transporting your pet and the fee for a group cremation. Again, no ashes are returned if you select this option.
Private Cremation (pet ashes returned to home) - $600: This option includes the same services as the group cremation but will instead include a private cremation service for your pet, ashes saved, and ashes returned via personal delivery for certain locations or help coordinating home delivery.
