Veterinary Resources to Help in Making Decisions
Veterinarians providing in-home euthanasia, and emergency hospitals in the Pittsburgh area.
Veterinarians Providing In-home Euthanasia and Veterinary Services
Often families are not aware that local veterinarians will come to your home to provide in home euthanasia services. Each practice is a little different in the types of services they provide, so it is best that you call the practice directly if this is what you would want.
Chartiers Custom Pet Cremation can come to your home to receive your pet.Â
Please call Deb at 412-220-7800 to make arrangements for your pet’s cremation.
