Yellowstone Valley Animal Shelter is here to help support you throughout the stages of your animal’s life, even the difficult ones. End-of-life care for your pet is offered to owners at a reduced cost.
Euthanasia services are offered to the public for $55. Communal cremation services are also included in this cost or an owner may reclaim their pet’s body for burial. We understand that making this choice is difficult, so we suggest filling out your paperwork ahead of time. For euthanasia authorization, we require an owner to be at least 18 years or older and bring a photo ID.
Euthanasia services are based on the availability of our medical team and an appointment is required. Euthanasia service hours may be limited and are not available on holidays. For additional questions or to request an appointment, please call 406-294-7387.
Communal cremation services are included in the $55 euthanasia fee. If you select the option of a communal cremation, your animal’s ashes will not be to be returned to you.
If you would like your pet’s ashes returned to you, YVAS works closely with Faithful Friend Animal Memories to offer a range of private cremation services to help you memorialize your pet in a dignified, caring manner. Please call the shelter for detailed pricing.
If your pet has passed away at home and you would like to have them communally cremated at YVAS, please fill out this form and we will cremate your pet free of charge. Please note that in the case of communal cremations, your animal’s ashes are unable to be returned to you. If your pet has passed away at home and you would like to have them privately cremated, please contact the shelter to make arrangements and for detailed pricing.
