Euthanasia Services
Our pets provide us with unconditional love and wonderful companionship for many years, but sadly, all pets eventually experience health, behavior, or aging issues. When this happens, the focus shifts from ensuring quality of life to ensuring a peaceful death. As a compassionate kindness, we provide humane, end-of-life euthanasia services for owned pets. This respectful, private procedure is professionally administered by our on-staff Florida Certified Euthanasia Technicians. We follow the American Veterinary Medical Association's Euthanasia Guidelines and use the same humane procedures used by private veterinary hospitals. We take the utmost pride in having the technical, medical, and soft skills necessary to provide a peaceful end-of-life experience for your beloved pet.
We offer humane euthanasia by appointment during normal business hours. Please call 850-891-2950 to schedule an appointment. We are unable to offer pick-up or in-home services for euthanasia.
Before your Appointment
We ask that you bring the following with you to the appointment:
- A government-issued photo identification card
- Payment (cash, check or credit card). There is a $25 fee. If your pet has bitten in the 10 days prior to the euthanasia, there is an additional $55 fee for State required rabies testing.
- Completed Humane Euthanasia Request Form
- Your veterinarian's diagnosis to confirm the euthanasia reason. If one is not provided or we cannot reach them via phone, Tallahassee Animal Services retains the right to deny the euthanasia request.
What to Expect at Your Appointment
When you arrive, we'll review your paperwork and complete the check-in. Our staff will explain the euthanasia process based on your interest and comfort level. Please feel free to ask any questions to help you feel as comfortable as possible. Once you are ready and have said goodbye, our compassionate technicians will escort your pet to our private euthanasia suite for the procedure. There is nothing more for you to do at this point and you may head home.
Aftercare Services
We provide communal cremation where your pet is cremated alongside other pets.
Other Options
If you would like to be present for your pet's euthanasia, would like in-home euthanasia, or would like to have other after care arrangements, please reach out to your family veterinarian for assistance. Many local veterinarians offer additional end-of-life services that we are unable to offer. If your family veterinarian is unable to help, consider reaching out to one of the veterinarians below who offers in-home euthanasia service to new clients:
