Dealing with Loss
We have two special services for those who are faced with an extremely difficult and emotional situation - the loss of their loved animal companion.
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 death. 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. Appointments are available Monday thru Friday from 3:00pm – 4:30pm; Saturday and Sunday from 2:00pm - 4:00pm. We also offer private or communal cremations as a service to owners.
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
