Support for families and their beloved pets
Losing a deeply loved pet can leave you unsure about what to do next. Animal Aftercare Canada helps families explore pet aquamation, cremation, home pickup and other aftercare options serving Barrie, including private and communal services, memorial products and support after a pet dies at home.
Barrie families may be served by providers operating across Innisfil, Orillia, Essa, Springwater, Oro-Medonte and nearby Simcoe County communities. Some services accept families directly, while others coordinate arrangements through a veterinary clinic or mobile veterinary provider.
Our independent request service offers a calm starting point when you need practical information or help identifying providers that may serve Barrie and the surrounding area.
Immediate guidance
If your pet has died at home, you do not need to make every decision immediately. Keep your pet in a cool, quiet place. If your pet may still be alive or is in distress, contact a veterinarian or emergency veterinary hospital immediately. When you are ready, contact Animal Aftercare Canada and we will help with the next steps.
