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.

Saying goodbye to my cat was one of the hardest things I’ve had to do, but having it done at home made a big difference. Dr. Simpson explained everything clearly ahead of time, so I knew what to expect. When the time came, she was extremely patient and never rushed me, allowing me to take as much time as I needed. She was calm, compassionate, and very supportive throughout the entire process. It’s not an easy experience, but she made it as gentle and peaceful as it could be.

Although the circumstance was very difficult, Dr. Kellie was kind, professional, and compassionate. We could not have asked for a more peaceful or detail-oriented experience. Thank you, Dr. Kellie, for being there for us and our beloved Scout on this very hard day.

Dr. Lydia was amazing, compassionate, gave ample information so we could be more prepared for the loss of our dear pet. Significantly better experience than taking my dog to the vet. I felt like the family was able to surround our pet with love and deep respect, making the process a bit less difficult. So very hard to lose a 4 legged family member. Thank you, Dr. Lydia!

Dr. DuBose is an angel. She arrived at our house an hour after we called her, and gave comfort to our dog and us. She helped us greatly when we needed help the most. Highly recommended

This is a really beautiful and peaceful way to help your beloved pet move on! Our sweet Riggins licked peanut butter in his own home, surrounded by his people and went to sleep! I am grateful for the in home pet euthanasia option. Thank you, Dr. Sara!
