Euthanasia & Cremation
Making the decision to say goodbye to a beloved pet is never easy. At White Bear Animal Hospital, our team strives to provide peaceful and dignified end-of-life services that respect both your feelings and your pet’s comfort.
Our Approach:
- Guidance & Support: We’ll discuss your pet’s quality of life and help you decide the best course of action.
- Gentle Procedure: We use sedatives and a calm environment to minimize stress and discomfort.
- Memorial Options: Choose from private or communal cremation and, if desired, receive a paw print keepsake.
If you prefer in-home euthanasia, we can refer you to MN Pets or Lap of Love for a more private farewell. Throughout this difficult time, we’re here to help you make decisions that honor your pet’s life and your bond together.

How do I know it’s time to consider euthanasia for my pet?
Signs that it may be time include chronic pain, loss of mobility, and diminished quality of life.

Can I be in the room with my pet during the procedure?
Absolutely. We encourage you to remain with your pet for comfort and support, but it’s your choice.

Yes, you can choose a private cremation if you wish to keep your pet’s ashes, or a communal option if preferred.
