Pet Euthanasia
If you’re facing the loss of a pet, find guidance and support from Cats & Dogs Animal Hospital in Long Beach, CA. We develop our compassionate pet euthanasia services in collaboration with you to ensure your beloved pet’s final moments are peaceful and dignified.
Understanding Pet Euthanasia
Pet euthanasia is a gentle and humane process used to end a pet’s suffering when their quality of life has deteriorated significantly. It is a decision made out of love and concern for your pet’s well-being, and our experienced veterinarians are committed to providing a peaceful experience for both you and your pet.
How the Process Works
Euthanasia is a carefully administered procedure that involves an injection to gently put your pet to sleep. The process is designed to be painless, allowing your pet to pass away peacefully. Our veterinarians will explain each step to you, ensuring that you understand what will happen and feel supported throughout the process.
When Is It Time?
Deciding when to euthanize a pet is one of the most challenging decisions a pet owner can face. Some signs that it may be time include:
- Chronic Pain: If your pet is experiencing pain that cannot be managed with medication or other treatments.
- Loss of Mobility: When your pet can no longer move comfortably or perform basic functions such as eating or drinking.
- Severe Illness: Conditions that significantly reduce your pet’s quality of life, such as advanced cancer or organ failure.
- Behavioral Changes: A marked change in your pet’s behavior, such as withdrawal, aggression, or confusion, may indicate a decline in their mental or physical state.
Our veterinarians are here to help you assess your pet’s condition and discuss the best course of action. We strive to always keep your pet’s comfort and dignity in mind.

We understand how difficult it is to say goodbye to a beloved pet, and we are here to provide compassionate care during this challenging time.

Cremation and Memorial Options
After euthanasia, you may wish to consider dog cremation as a way to honor your pet’s memory. At Cats & Dogs Animal Hospital, we offer pet cremation services to provide you with various options for your pet’s remains. Whether you choose to keep your pet’s ashes in a memorial urn or scatter them in a meaningful place, we are here to assist you in making arrangements that feel right for you and your family.
Types of Cremation Services
- Private Cremation: Your pet is cremated individually, and the ashes are returned to you in a chosen urn.
- Communal Cremation: Your pet is cremated along with other pets, and the ashes are not returned. This is a more affordable option that still honors your pet’s memory.
