While we don’t want to think about the death of our beloved pets, it’s good to think ahead about the option of doing a necropsy (animal autopsy).

Benefits of Necropsy

A necropsy allows us to learn more about the cause of death of our pet. This can help bring closure about why our pet died. If you have other pets, necropsy can help determine whether death was caused by an infectious disease that could be contagious, and may help guide treatments for your other pets. Necropsy can also help our veterinary team better understand the disease process, with the possibility that we can better help pets with similar health issues in the future.
