After the euthanasia, Dr. Sernik makes ink paw prints and a clay paw print of your pet. The clay print is made after your pet's passing and given to you immediately. They will harden by themselves in 24-48 hours when exposed to air. Many pet owners appreciate having this tangible memento to remember their pet by. Note: If you are planning to have a tattoo made from the ink prints, please let Dr. Sernik know when she is at your house so that she can make extra ones for your artist to work with.
