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 Butler County residents only. Although you are not permitted to be present at the time of euthanasia, if requested you may view your pet afterwards.

The cost of this service is $50 for a cat and $75 for a dog. If the dog is over 100 lbs, then it does cost an additional $25. Residents who show valid proof of government assistance will receive a discounted rate of $30 for a cat and $50 for a dog. Your pet will be euthanized in the most humane way, which is by injection. It is a painless procedure administered by our certified technicians.

Please contact us at 513-867-5727 ext. 0 or email AnimalServices@bcohio.gov to request an appointment. You must be a Butler County resident.

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 request a $10 donation.
