Euthanasia Services
Euthanasia Services
Choosing to put a loved companion animal down can be a very difficult decision. If you have made that choice, we encourage you to bring your animal to PHS/SPCA, where we can provide a humane, dignified ending. Our euthanasia service ranges from $15 for small animals to $40 for dogs or cats. If you would like to be present during your pet’s euthanasia, please call 650/340-7022, ext. 339 to make an appointment. We also offer private or communal cremations as a service to owners.
Among the positive feedback we receive for all our work, programs and services, some of the kindest, most heartfelt letters, cards and email messages come from people who visited our shelter when it was time to put their pet to sleep. The resounding message is this: “We had to do something truly heartbreaking and your employees were compassionate, caring and understanding…you made an incredibly difficult situation a little bit easier and we can’t thank you enough.”
Pet Loss Support Group
When your companion animal dies, it's natural to feel grief and sadness, even depression. Our free support group is designed to offer anyone grieving the death, loss or terminal illness of a beloved companion animal. Led by a professional counselor, our group meets the second Thursday of each month, from 7-8:30 pm. The group usually ranges in size from 6 to 12 participants. Some people come once or twice, others four or five times. Participants need not be PHS/SPCA adopters and are not required to sign up for the class. For more information, please contact Lindsay Reynolds at 650/340-7022, ext. 344 or lreynolds@PHS-SPCA.org. The group is held at our new Tom and Annette Lantos Center for Compassion, located at 1450 Rollins Rd., Burlingame (x street Edwards Ct.).
