Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in Fresno, CA
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.

Losing my 15-year-old dog was heartbreakingly stressful. JoAnn arrived promptly, was calm and confident, and kindly explained each step before it happened. Her compassion and steadiness made a painful goodbye feel as peaceful as it could be.
Dr. Clem was so kind and caring and professional in the service she provided. I have spoke to others who have had the opportunity to use her as well. And they had nothing but praise for her and her work. Totally will refer her in the future, if I have friends with the same situation.
Through an extremely difficult situation I was able to have her come to my home and put my pet down in the comfort of his bed. She was professional and empathetic. Best decision you can make that you will not regret when you think of the last moments you share with you pet.
While it is an awful experience to deal with, the professionalism and empathy that we received was great. We had a previous dog we brought to the vet's clinic and it was so impersonal and the dog was nervous and uncomfortable the whole time. This time we were all relaxed and our dog was able to pass in peace. We highly recommend this approach.
Dr. Allison goes above and beyond to make such a difficult decision easier. She's so kind and gentle. She knew the way to my dog's heart and even brought him a snack to put his mind at ease. The whole process was so peaceful. I couldn't ask for a better experience to such a difficult day. If I could leave 100 stars I would!
Everything about this deeply sad process of helping our pet pass was handled with the utmost care, understandig, professionalism and kindness. I wouldn't have wanted this done in any other way. I'd give Dr. Clark the highest marks and a thank you for his compassionate care.
