Compassionate End-of-Life Support

At Avon Animal Hospital, we believe every pet deserves to pass peacefully and with dignity, surrounded by the people who love them. When the time comes, our team provides a calm, private space where your family can be present and take the time you need. We approach every end-of-life visit with compassion and patience, never rushing you through the process. If you are uncertain whether the time has come, we are also happy to have a quality-of-life conversation with you to help you think through the options and feel supported in your decision.

Cremation Services for Dogs and Cats

Following the passing of your pet, Avon Animal Hospital offers cremation services to help you honor your pet's memory in the way that feels right for your family. We work with a trusted cremation provider to offer both private and communal cremation options. Private cremation ensures that you receive your pet's ashes individually, in a container of your choosing. Our team handles the arrangement process with care and will walk you through the available options at a pace that works for you.

Keepsake Memorials and Aftercare

Grief is a real and important part of losing a beloved pet, and Avon Animal Hospital supports families beyond the clinical visit. We offer keepsake memorial options, including paw prints and fur clippings, that allow you to preserve a tangible memory of your pet. If you or your family members are finding the loss difficult to navigate, we can provide information on pet loss support resources in the Surrey and Langley area. You are not alone in this, and our team is here to help in any way we can.

There is no single right answer, and we are here to support you whatever you decide.
Can I stay with my pet during the end-of-life visit?
