Unfortunately, the life span of the animals in our lives are not as long as we wish they would be. When it is time to say goodbye we often feel lost and alone with our thoughts and grief. Pet grief is not a mainstream topic and can often be misunderstood. Keauhou Veterinary Hospital has many valuable resources to help assist you in your time of need.
We can assist you in making all of your final care arrangements. Private Cremation, General Cremation and Home Burial options will be discussed with you during your visit to our hospital. Knowing your options in advance can help make the process easier. It is hard to make decisions in the throws of grief, our staff will help you in any way they can. All families of animals that pass at our hospital receive a clay impression of their pets paw to remember them after they are gone. This is our way of expressing how sorry we are for your loss. This is a no cost service we provide.
Remember to always celebrate the life they lived.
