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.

Sarah was an angel.Her hands were so beautiful, touching our baby with her last moment on this earth.I could not have asked for a more peaceful kind moment in our lives.Being the most difficult decision we've ever had to make. Daisy May was our precious baby girl. Adeep bond with a cherished pet that comes once in a lifetime. She will live out in our hearts forever. Although the pain is so deep, it's price we pay for love.♡ Sincerely, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Theresa & Roy , baby girl daisy may. 6/24/23 -2/27/26 ♡♡♡
Dr. Lori was so kind and compassionate, which was so appreciated. She was so gentle and caring with little Gracie. This experience was so peaceful and calm because we were able to say goodbye at home, and avoid that last trip to the vet's office, which always made Gracie shaky and fearful. Also, Gracie's brother and litter mate, Milo, was able to know what was happening and say his goodbyes to his lifelong companion of 14 years. Much better this goodbye than having his sister taken to the vet's, never to return, and not know what happened. I'm so grateful for this service, and Dr. Lori Schmalz, who brought such a welcome level of reassurance and kindness to the day we had to say a heart-wrenching goodbye to our sweet Gracie.
After a visit to our vet on a Friday afternoon, we learned my beloved kitty of 18 years was dying. Wanting to take him back home to die peacefully in our home, I was able to easily book a euthanasia appt with Dr Mark Christine for Saturday morning. Mark’s warm and calming presence and care for my kitty’s comfort along with mine and my family’s comfort was more than I could have hoped for and are the whole process as bearable as possible. Later that evening, after we buried our kitty, I was facing a world of grief and had regretted not saving a piece of him/his fur. In a desperate attempt, I messaged Mark to see if he had thrown out my kitty’s fur when he shaved his arm for the IV. While he confirmed he had, days later Mark reached out to me and told me he dug through his trash and was able to find some of my kitty’s fur and had put it in a little jar. Mark dropped it off to me at my home the following weekend. I think this exemplifies the compassion and care in which Mark approaches his work, and I would highly recommend him if you’re in that terrible position of having to have your beloved animal put down.
Thank you so much Dr. Sarah. We appreciated your communication and walking us through the process. It was a difficult time and you helped us greatly.
Dr Sarah was very kind and she asked about our dog and the life she lived while she as here. She was warm and did not hurry us to say good bye. Highly recommend 😀
Dr Clem was amazing and patient. It was our first time having euthanasia services at home and she was gentle and kind and explained everything while taking care of our Molly.
