The total cost includes the in-home pet euthanasia service fee, any travel fee (if any apply), and a platform fee. Additionally, depending on your choice, fees may apply for cremation services or keepsakes.

During your appointment, your vet will confirm your aftercare selection with you. If you choose to arrange cremation services, your vet will oversee your pet’s transportation to a local facility for cremation. If your preferred cremation option includes the return of your pet’s ashes to you, your vet will discuss the process to reunite you with your pet's ashes and the anticipated time frame during your appointment

Yes, upon arrival the veterinarian will assess your pet. This can look different than an “nose to tail” examination in a clinic setting and will focus more on the pet’s history and quality of life.

It is not uncommon to have doubts about whether the time is right. If you’ve taken the Quality of Life Questionnaire and are still unsure, we recommend consulting with your family veterinarian before scheduling an appointment.

Rest assured, if you book an appointment, your in-home euthanasia veterinarian will let you know if they do not believe that euthanasia is appropriate at this time.

You can expect your veterinarian to be in your home from 20-60 minutes, depending on how much of that time you need or want throughout the process.

Dr. Allie Poole in Atlanta, Ga is truly an angel on earth. We cannot put into words how grateful we are for her compassion, grace, and kindness during one of the hardest moments of our lives. She came to our home to help my beloved dachshund, KC, cross peacefully after 16 beautiful years and 5,838 days together. From the moment she walked in, her calm and gentle presence filled the room. KC had never reacted to anyone the way he reacted to her; it was as if he knew she was there to help him, to relieve his pain, suffering, and anxiety. In that moment, I truly felt like his angel had arrived. The at home euthanasia experience was peaceful, painless, and incredibly beautiful. Dr. Poole explained everything with patience and empathy, never rushed us, and ensured KC was surrounded by love and comfort every step of the way. Her presence brought me a sense of peace I didn’t know was possible in such a heartbreaking moment. I will forever be grateful to Dr. Allie Poole for the dignity, mercy, and love she showed my sweet boy. If you are facing this impossible decision, I cannot recommend her enough. She gave KC the gift of a gentle goodbye, and that is something I will cherish always. Thank you, Dr. Poole, for being exactly who we needed when we needed you most. 🤍🌈🐾 Sharing photos of KC’s healthier happier days in his memory.

This was the hardest decision we had to make, to put our Sugar down. Dr. Devlin came to our home where it would be more comfortable for Sugar and us. He was very kind, caring and empathetic. He took his time to explain everything and asked if we had any questions. I can honestly say, I am grateful we did this at home. It was very peaceful for our Sugar as well as for us.

I’m so thankful that this service exists and that I was able to have my pet pass peacefully at home. Dr. Karen Whala was so helpful, patient, and compassionate; just the best person you could have hoped for to help your loved one transition from this life. She really went above and beyond to make sure my baby was comfortable and she walked me through the whole process. I would recommend this service to anyone who has to face this difficult decision.

Dr Stewart was so kind and caring when dealing with end of life care for our farm dog. Being able to have her come to our home made a difficult situation a little bit easier.

Dr. DuBose did super in the way she handled my pet. One would think it was her own pet. My pet was very calm around Dr. DuBose. She allowed me to hold my pet on my lap and I was able to show my love to my pet while Dr. DuBose performed the necessary procedure. I recommend her to anyone needing a professional, kind and compassionate Dr.
