At Cashua Veterinary Care, we understand that pets are family, and when their journey comes to an end, you deserve support, compassion, and a space to grieve. Our team is here to walk beside you with empathy and care, offering gentle pet euthanasia, respectful cremation services, and heartfelt guidance during this deeply personal moment.

Compassionate Pet Euthanasia in a Comforting Setting

When your pet’s pain becomes too great or their quality of life begins to fade, deciding to let go may be the kindest and most loving choice. We are here to help you navigate that decision with care and understanding — not judgment.

At our Florence clinic, pet euthanasia is performed in a private, quiet space where you and your pet can share a peaceful farewell. The process is gentle and pain-free. First, we administer a calming sedative to help your pet relax and drift into a deep sleep. Then, a second injection helps them pass peacefully, surrounded by love and comfort.

Whether you choose to stay with your pet or take a moment apart, we honor your emotions and your needs every step of the way.

Loving Aftercare and Memorial Options

After saying goodbye, many families find comfort in choosing how to honor their pet’s memory. We offer several aftercare services to help you do just that, with dignity and love:

  • Cremation options, including private and communal services
  • Paw print keepsakes to treasure your pet’s memory
  • Guidance for home burial if that is your preferred choice
  • Supportive resources to help you through your grief

You’re not alone in this — whatever choice feels right for your family, we’ll be here to support you with tenderness and respect.

Knowing When It’s Time

You know your pet better than anyone else. Still, it can be incredibly difficult to know when the time is right. You may notice:

  • Ongoing pain that no longer responds to treatment
  • Trouble standing, walking, eating, or breathing
  • Frequent accidents or discomfort that affects daily life
  • A loss of joy, interaction, or interest in their surroundings

If you’re unsure, we invite you to speak with us. Our veterinarians can assess your pet’s condition and help you explore your options gently and without pressure.

Gentle Guidance for Grief and Healing

The loss of a pet can leave a space in your heart that words cannot fill. It’s okay to grieve. It’s okay to cry. It’s okay to need time. Whether this was your first pet or a lifelong companion, your pain is valid.

Here are a few suggestions that may help during the days and weeks ahead:

  • Let yourself feel the full range of emotions — there is no “right” way to grieve
  • Lean on family, friends, or others who have been through a similar loss
  • Create a special memorial — photos, stories, a keepsake box, or a paw print
  • Talk to a counselor or join a pet loss support group if you’re feeling overwhelmed
  • Remember: the love you gave was real, and it mattered

We’re always here if you need someone to talk to.
