Dr. Stukey helped me and my little Dante through an incredibly difficult and sad day. He was suffering, and he was in dire need of relief. She was so kind and patient and just a calming presence for the both of us. We never want that day to come, but I highly recommend Dr. Stukey when that time comes.

About Vet
Dr. Kara Riano understands how important it is for your beloved pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved during their final moments. Originally from Southern California, Dr. Riano moved to Texas over four years ago to begin her career as an emergency veterinarian and start her family. She earned her DVM from Western University of Health Sciences in 2021 and brings a deep commitment to compassionate care in every aspect of her work. With two young boys and three beloved dogs at home, she knows firsthand the powerful bond we share with our pets. You've likely spent a lifetime caring for your pet—and Dr. Riano believes that saying goodbye should be just as full of love. Her journey in veterinary medicine began at age 14, working as a kennel assistant and eventually becoming a licensed veterinary technician in 2016 before achieving her lifelong dream of becoming a veterinarian. In her work in emergency clinics, she witnessed how difficult in-clinic euthanasia can be for both pets and families. That’s why she now focuses on providing peaceful in-home euthanasia, helping your pet pass in the place they know best, surrounded by the people who love them most. Outside of veterinary medicine, Dr. Riano cherishes spending time with her family outdoors—whether it’s at the park, on the lake, or just playing in the yard. Her three mixed-breed dogs, Monte, Callie, and Theo, are an important part of her life and a reminder of the joy pets bring to our days. Dr. Riano is honored to support you through this deeply personal time and is passionate about offering comfort and dignity when it matters most.

Dr. Anna Stewart was extremely compassionate and understanding with the in-home pet euthanasia we unfortunately had to have for our Golden Retriever. I'm glad such a service exists to have the euthanasia done in home versus at a veterinarian clinic. If we are ever in the position to have to do this again, we will be contacting Dr. Stewart. We couldn't have asked for a more caring and compassionate veterinarian for this very sad and upsetting time for us.

Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in Plano, TX

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. Stukey was very kind and patient with our family as we went through the process of saying good bye to our sweet girl. She had treats for Sierra, loved on her, and listened to our stories. I would highly recommend Dr. Stukey to take care of your precious pet.

It is always a very hard decision to help a good doggo over the bridge, but it was the right one, and Dr. Stukey is very compassionate and kind, which made the process much easier to handle. I highly recommend her.

Kirsten was very compassionate, professional, and kind. I couldn’t have asked for a better vet to help me with one of the worst times of my life. It was heartbreaking to lose my dog, but it was peaceful and loving. I am grateful to Kirsten and would definitely recommend her to family and friends in this difficult situation.

Losing our beloved labrador was one of the toughest things we’ve had to go through as a family. Dr Stukey could not have been kinder through the whole process. As much as we miss our sweet girl, we take comfort in the fact that she had the most peaceful passing possible. After all she gave to us, it was the least we could do for her. Thank you Dr. Stukey for your kindness and compassionate care for our girl.

I seldom leave reviews but my experience with Dr. Dixon deserves recognition. Her care, compassion and communication was as good as I could ever hope for in that painful time of losing a beloved. Missy is the 4th Dog I have had to make that painful decision with and the transition was made easier with Dr. Dixon's Love and Care. thank you Tim
