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.

Having a Dr. come into our home was the most caring way to put our dog Lily in God’s hands. Lily was napping on our couch when Anne arrived. She got acquainted with Lily, gently gave her something to sleep, and gave us and Lily’s brother quiet time to say good bye. And then she was gone. I would tell anyone who has to make that hard decision, this is the most caring way to say good bye.
This was the best decision I made for my dog, Abigail, for her final journey. Dr. Schmalz was compassionate, patient, and extremely gentle with her and her passing was so peaceful. As bad as the entire situation is, I couldn’t have asked for a better end of life process. The whole situation is internally chaotic, however, it was so eased by this service and Dr. Schmalz.
Dr. Amanda Harper made this transition for us such a pleasant experience under the circumstance. We were losing our baby girl after 17 years. Not knowing what to expect, Dr. Harper came in with just a gentle way about her, and explained everything in detail. She made sure we were all comfortable; covered her with blankets to keep her warm, and loved on her. Dr. Harper treated our baby as if she was treating her own. Dr. Harper is truly a class act, and a Godsend for those having to go through such a difficult time.
Dr. Jesse was very kind, incredibly respectful and professional. I was very impressed and so thankful for him at such a difficult and vulnerable time for our family. I highly recommend him if you ever find yourself in this impossible situation. He thought of things we didn't think of and asked permission before taking any steps. He was more available and responsive than even our established veterinarian as well as any other in-home service in the area we had considered. Especially right after a major holiday. The timing of our situation was awful being right at Christmas but he was not only available on short notice but the day after Christmas! Others that came recommend didn't even contact us back for over a week or not at all! Afterwards he hand delivered our Henry's ashes back to us and handled everything, making sure everything was clear when I could barely think straight. We are very grateful. This was very hard and he did everything possible to make it easier on us.
I am incredibly grateful for Dr. Melissa’s kindness and compassion during one of the hardest moments of our lives. From the moment she arrived, Dr. Melissa treated our dog with such love, gentleness, respect, and dignity. Her calm and caring presence brought a sense of peace to an otherwise devastating experience. It was clear how deeply she cares about animals and the people who love them. Thank you for helping our beloved dog pass comfortably, surrounded by love, and for treating our family with such understanding and grace. We will always be grateful.
This was my first time experiencing home euthanasia. Dr. Mitchell was absolutely amazing, she was very professional but also had an incredible amount of compassion. My husband and I came to the conclusion that our sweet Banji was no longer having any quality of life after the pain medication was no longer working. We were able to schedule an appointment with Dr. Mitchell the following business day. We were provided a consultation call a day prior to our appointment to discuss how the process would go during the appointment. Dr. Mitchell was very clear about the different stages our pet would go through. She informed us when Banji could still hear and feel us and then when her body was ready to let go. We were also provided an imprint of her paw print before Dr. Mitchell took Banji away to get cremated. My husband and I were also very surprised when Dr. Mitchell reach out to us a few days later for a follow up regarding how we were handling this loss. Dr. Mitchell is an incredibly caring and compassionate vet. It takes a very special person to do this job daily and she is definitely the best person for this. I would highly recommend using this service but Dr. Mitchell specifically if you want someone to treat your pet like they were theirs.
