The loss of a loved one is never easy, but knowing what options are available and preparing can make the process of grieving less difficult.

In the event that a pet requires euthanasia, we offer the service in our office or at your home. No matter the location, every effort will be made to ensure the comfort of you and your pet. If there are special requests to ease the difficulty of the situation, we will make every effort to accommodate them.

Burial at home is often preferred, but in some instances local ordinances or weather prevent it. Burial through the City of Brevard is an option and pets are provided with a respectful, proper resting place. If you would prefer to cremate your pet, we can return your pet’s ashes to you or scatter them in a permanent memorial garden in Asheville.

World By The Tail provides a variety of resources on grieving and memorializing the life and memory of your loved one. There are even specific articles to help children prepare and cope with the loss of their family member.

If you would like a clay cast of your pet’s paw as part of your pet’s memorial, please let us know, as we are happy to create one.
