End of Life Care

Aftercare

At Coaldale Pet Clinic, we offer multiple after-care options including ink and clay paw impressions, private or communal cremation and ash resin art. Please call us if you would like to talk more about what options might be right for you.

Euthanasia

Saying goodbye to a companion is one of the saddest things a pet owner will be faced with. Planning for your pet’s end of life can be overwhelming, but our staff is here for you to answer your questions and guide you through the process.  We will make every attempt to help your pet have a peaceful passing with you by their side in our private comfort room, or if you choose, in the comfort of your own home. If you are struggling with this decision, please call us at (403) 345-5200 to schedule a quality of life visit.
