About Vet
Dr. Jessica Pruitt has dedicated her career to helping pets and their families through life’s most tender moments. Born in Chattanooga and raised in Knoxville, Dr. Pruitt attended East Tennessee State University before earning her DVM from the University of Tennessee in 2013. Now practicing in the Chattanooga area, she feels deeply connected to her East Tennessee roots. Her compassionate approach to veterinary care ensures that your pet’s final moments are peaceful and filled with love. For Dr. Pruitt, in-home euthanasia is a way to make one of the hardest experiences in a pet parent’s life a little more bearable. She finds it profoundly rewarding to provide a calm and familiar environment for pets during their final journey, surrounded by the people who love them most. Helping families say goodbye with grace and dignity is an honor she holds close to her heart. When not caring for patients, Dr. Pruitt enjoys tending to her plants and getting her hands in the dirt. At home, she shares her life with a “small zoo” of two cats, Phoenix and Hearth; two dogs, Mac and Cheez; and two rabbits, Tribble and Hazelnut. Her passion for animals extends to every corner of her life, reflecting the love and care she brings to every family she serves.

Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in Chattanooga, TN

Your credit card is required to reserve your appointment. However, no payment is required until the appointment and nothing is due until the appointment is completed

We charge cancellation fee of $100 if an appointment is cancelled less than 4 hours before the start time. If your pet passes away before your appointment you would not be charged a cancellation fee. If the vet you scheduled is able, and you would like their assistance with cremation, then pickup fee would apply instead of euthanasia fee

Other Consideration

If you have a larger pet, your vet may need the help of one friend or family member. Talk to your vet about options and limitations when they reach out to you prior to your appointment, and they will inform you of any extra cost for your situation. 

Options for your pets return home and memorabilia depend on your local provider. Your vet coordinate the return of your pet’s ashes and let you know if there are additional fees for urn delivery. 

Extra time or medications needed can affect the total price. Other factors can be if it is decided that it’s not time to euthanize your pet after the vet has arrive. In that case, only the travel fee, platform fee, and a quality of life consult would apply. 

FAQs

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. Jennifer Holman was excellent with our sweet baby Seiko. It is heartbreaking that we had to say goodbye to our girl but Dr. Holman made the experience easier on us. She was so gentle with Seiko and explained everything she was going to do.

"Dr Kellie was calm and kind and very respectful to us and our sweet dog, when in my house. She explained the process and what we could expect. The best part was, she brought a baggy of yummy dog treats for us to give our dog while we waited the few minutes for the 1st med to take effect. Our sweet girl perked up and loved every bit of it plus it was a great distraction for us. Thank you Kellie

Dr Perzak made the whole unfortunate process as easy as possible. Very patient and loving, and did a great job explaining the process.

As sad as having to lost a pet is, I was very happy with Dr. Sims and how loving and compassionate she was and the whole process was. I couldn't have imagined a better send-off for my pup.

In posting a review, I wanted to tell my story of never having a dog and the pain of letting her go and how the Lord chose Dr. Lara to mercifully end her life for me. But all I could come up with, were my words. But then He spoke to me! And it was a message I hear always when I'm searching. He who has Christ, has no fear. In a sermon, He sent a message from Luke 12:22-34 The end of anxiety. Dr. Lara was a gift that day because of her Faith. She had no fear that day! My only hope is, that in some small way I was able to thank her graciously enough! To Maggie Mae, my beautiful Boo boo, Rest in Peace 🙏 I love you. 🐕

Dr. Perzak is kind, gentle, and understanding. It’s never easy deciding to say goodbye to a pet but having the ability to do it at home instead of in a vets office where your pet may feel uncomfortable is a blessing. Trigger loved Dr. Perzak when she was his primary vet and it was truly comforting for him to wag his tail and be excited to see her again before he left us. The follow up email providing resources was very helpful as well. This is an expensive service but I think it’s well worth the price.
