In-Home Euthanasia

As pet owners, we know that one of the hardest things about having pets is letting go at the end of their lives. When your family has decided it’s time, we find many advantages to in-home euthanasia. In-home euthanasia lets your pets pass peacefully at home surrounded by those they love the most.  It also enables your other pets to say good-bye which can help them cope with the loss of a close companion. If you or your family are not ready to make a euthanasia decision, we can help you decide what is best for everyone, and what some other options may be.

If you choose City Rover to help with the final preparations for your pet’s passing, we strive to make this process as peaceful for your pet as possible and in most cases we give a sedative before the final injection to make your pet relaxed and comfortable.

Final Arrangements

If you choose to bury your pet, please check with your local city for their rules and regulations. If you would like your pet to be cremated, City Rover can transport your pet afterward. We have carefully researched and chosen Pet Cremation Services to provide our cremation services. You can choose either individual cremation in which City Rover will return your pet's ashes to you, or communal cremation with no ashes returned. 

If you have an alternative crematorium or pet cemetery you would like to use, please make arrangements with them prior to the appointment.
