Dr Valentino came into our lives on a very difficult day. She was kind and compassionate, she reinforced that what we were doing was the right thing for our pet, which we really needed to hear. She gave us the time we needed. I felt she would look after our pet with dignity and kindness when she took her away. The whole process was calm and comforting. I am very grateful.

Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in New Haven, CT

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. Lori did a great job. She was calm and patient and just wanted what was best for our elderly cat. Doing this in the comfort of our home felt like the right thing to do and our cat was able to be comfortable the whole time. Highly recommend.

Please do this for your pet. Dr. Devlin is a caring and warm doctor Jake was dying of kidney failure and I wanted to remain in his home surrounded by those who loved him. Dr. Devlin made a difficult experience less stressful for our pet as well as friends and family who loved Jake for almost 2 decades. If you have the resources you will not regret helping your pet pass over being loved by those who care instead of dying alone.

It was time for us to say goodbye to our beloved Sandy. We called Dr Jackson to ask some questions and she was very helpful. We called back the next day to schedule the procedure. She came to our house that day. She was very compassionate and caring. She explained everything to us. We were so grateful to be with our Sandy until the end. Thank you.
