What's involved
Saying goodbye to a rabbit is a hard decision. The vet usually gives a sedative first so your rabbit is calm, then lets them pass away peacefully.
Some practices use one price for rabbits and other small pets. Ask whether the practice can arrange cremation, and what that costs.
Each price is taken from the practice's own website or price list. Prices change, so the practice's own quote is the one that counts.
