Frequently Asked Questions

If your pet has passed away at a veterinary hospital, you will need to ask which pet crematory they use. You do not have to use the facility your veterinary hospital suggests. Bring the cremation authorization form and call us at 727-518-0147 and we will handle the logistics. Partner vets will guide you through the process and provide relevant forms.

If your pet has passed away at home you may bring the pet to us, but we do require a scheduled appointment during office hours. After hours appointments are available upon request. Arranging the pick-up of your pet from your home is also available for a fee. Please call 727-518-0147.

Pet Passages® utilizes technology to create an online space to memorialize your pet in many different ways including photos, tribute messages, music, and more.

Naturally, you want to ease their way.

The decision to euthanize is a very difficult decision to make but is a necessary decision when the animal is starting to suffer. Please consult with your veterinary professional! They will have professional advice on how to ease your pet through this transition.

The word euthanasia comes to us from the Greek word that means “good death” or “fortunate death”. In modern society it generally refers to the practice of intentionally ending a life in order to relieve pain and suffering.

Pet Passages® has relationships with several traveling veterinary services that will perform euthanasia services on our premises. To learn more visit our Euthanasia page.
