Here at Mountain View Veterinary Health Center, we pride ourselves in our end-of-life care and want to focus on the quality of your pet’s life throughout their entire lifetime. We understand that saying goodbye to a beloved pet is difficult, so we strive to make the process go as smoothly as possible.

Timing of Euthanasia

Determining when to euthanize your pet can be very difficult and involving your veterinarian into your decision-making process can help you to make the best choice for your pet in their time of need.

All Paws

We have teamed up with All Paws, a pet cremation and aftercare service center in Sandy, Utah, to provide compassionate and emotionally supportive end of life care including cremation, urns and memorial products, grief support guides, pet compassion careline, and more during this transitional time.

Body Care

We offer cremation services through All Paws. If you wish to have your pet cremated through All Paws, MVVHC will facilitate the cremation process and will inform you once the process has been completed.

Cremation is not the only option for body care services - you are welcome to choose to bring your pet to an appropriate burial site if you would prefer not to have your pet cremated. Please remember to research and follow local ordinances and laws regarding the burial of your pet.
