Question: My pet is going to be “put down” at the veterinary clinic. What steps should we take to make sure that our pet is taken care of?


Answer:
  When a pet is “put to sleep” at a local veterinary clinic, the owner has the option to have the pet taken care of through any pet crematory.  Some veterinary clinics use a local pet crematory, such as Setting Sun Pet Crematory to take care of the private cremation.  On the other hand, some local veterinary clinics have the pets sent out of town or even out of state requiring owners to wait up to a week or longer for the pet to be returned to their veterinary’s office.  Unfortunately, this  means that the family will wait much much longer to receive their pet’s ashes back and then they have to go back to the vet’s office to pick up their pets ashes.
When using Setting Sun Pet Crematory there is NO long waits and if we pick up your pet we will return him or her to your HOME not to the vets’ office.
Be sure to ask your veterinarian whether they use Setting Sun Pet Crematory or if they send the pets out of town or state. 
We will work with all Veterinary offices, hospitals and Vet Trek. We are avaibable 24 hours a day. 

If you use us you have two options:

1.  You can have your vet call us here at Setting Sun Pet Crematory to make arrangements for us to pick up your pet or you can call us with the information as to where and when you need us to pick up your pet. (There is a $50.00 fee for the pick-up and return service).
2.  If you wish you can bring your pet from your vet’s office or your home to our facility.  Simply call us when you know your appointment information, so we know when to expect you.  *Additional information will be given at that time.
