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.

Dr. Tovar was incredibly empathetic, kind and patient with us during this hard time. We did not feel rushed by any means and she clearly explained each step of the process that helped make it easier for us to understand. We’re so glad we chose this option and that Dr. Tovar provided us with a comfortable and kind environment for us.
Dr. Murray was incredibly compassionate, professional and a comfort during my goodbye to my soul dog. He explained everything clearly, and calmly, before and as it was happening, and did so with extreme care and consideration. The experience was as peaceful and beautiful as it could have been - my sweet boy said goodbye listening to the birds and the wind in the trees. I am grateful to Dr. Murray, for his clinical skills, and humanity, on a very sad day.
Dr. Michilli was kind and gentle. She walked us through every step of a really hard day and made the transition peaceful. This was our teens first pet and therefore first loss and she made sure to be extra sensitive to her. It is evident that this is her calling and while the day was sad, the experience was less stressful because of Dr. Michilli.
My beautiful boy let me know it was his time on a Saturday morning. After multiple inquiries at different places, Dr. Courtney had the earliest availability for late afternoon on Sunday to come to the house to put my baby to sleep. This was an ideal time so my family and I could say our goodbyes and spend what time we had left with him together. She did offer to come earlier, if needed, but I kept the 4pm appointment. She arrived on time, was soft spoken, kind, compassionate, and took her time to explain the process, set clear expectations, and answer questions since this was our first experience with at-home euthanasia. She waited until we were ready before administering the sedative/anesthesia, and again with the medication to put him to final rest. She made his clay paw impression afterwards, so not to disturb him before since dogs typically don’t like their paws to be touched. And she then gave us time to privately be with him, and to let her know when we were ready for her to come back inside so she could place him on a stretcher to go in her car. We never felt rushed and he passed peacefully and overall a positive experience, given the circumstances, and gives me comfort during this difficult time. Incredibly grateful that my sweet boy was able to be in the comfort of his home surrounded by his loved ones.
Dr . Jenny Tovar was very calm , patient and loving towards our pet and also compassionate towards us as the owners in our grief. She was a huge blessing during a most difficult time .
We said goodbye to our 14 yo Old English Bulldog today. Having Dr. Hundley come to our house was by far the best experience we could have asked for in a situation like this. She was so compassionate and empathetic and Our big boy got to go relaxed in his home with his brother on his favorite dog bed.
