Euthanasia

Euthanasia Services

Saying goodbye to a pet is a difficult process. When it’s time to say goodbye to your beloved pet due to old age or illness, we recommend you make an appointment with your veterinarian so that you may choose to be present at the time of euthanasia. Your pet may also benefit from being in a more familiar environment.

However, because we realize the cost can be an obstacle for many pet owners, AFHS provides affordable, caring, compassionate euthanasia services performed by trained technicians, by appointment only, for low-income Butler County residents only. While you are not permitted to be present at the time of euthanasia, if requested you may view your pet after. Our team understands the deep bond you share with your pet, and we’re committed to making the experience as gentle and peaceful as possible with the use of medications.

Residents need to bring valid proof of government assistance to the appointment. For cost information, contact us at: 513.867.5727 ext. 9 or email AnimalServices@bcohio.gov to request an appointment. You must be a Butler County resident receiving government assistance.

Deceased Animals

You are welcome to bring the body of your pet that has passed away at home for disposal. There is no appointment necessary to drop off an already deceased pet. Please come to the front desk for further instructions upon arrival. We do request a $25 donation.
