Cat and dog pet body donations needed! |
| |
Do you have clients interested in donating their deceased pets to science?
Part of the Family now offers 50% off the cost of private cremation in exchange for the donation of a deceased pet to EASAV.
Do you have clients looking for financial assistance with common cremations? If they donate their pet to us, the common cremation fee is waived!
To help make this conversation easier, add the option to donate a pet's body to science on your euthanasia forms so your clients can ask you about this!
We are in need of canine and feline cadavers
If you can secure any donations of cats and dogs under 25 kg in size, please save them, download our pet body donation form, complete it & contact one of us!
There is no need to contact us prior to the donation.
