Preparing for the Loss of Your Pet

We care about our clients and their pets, and we understand how difficult it is to lose a loved one. Every effort is made to ensure the process goes as smoothly as possible during a very difficult time and we hope having this information in advance will give you time to make decisions with your family in the comfort of your own home. You may wish to scatter, bury or place your pet's ashes in an urn or not receive ashes back. Below are descriptions of each cremation service offered along with their prices to aid you in your decision. Please don't hesitate to ask our team any questions you may have by calling 705-522-4555 or emailing info@lockerbyanimalhospital.com
