It started off with bad communication. He called, I returned his calls, no answer. After many attempts and two hours later, we finally communicated. When he showed up, he was asking about my dogs history; then stated he would need to do a blood test to see what was going on. My dog was literally on her deathbed; which was more than evident. My dog had been sick for 4 years and on many medications. When he finally opened his bag, he stated he forgot the second medication that would euthanize her. He left and returned an hour later. Though he did euthanize her; his bedside manner and judgmental attitude was not good.

Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in Pottstown, PA

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.

On one of the worst days, this made it so much better. Worth every single penny and more. Dr. Matthew was extremely professional, calming, and caring for my dog and myself in our last moments together. I have already shared this service to all of my friends because I was so impressed and I feel it was the best way to help your pet’s last moments be the best they could.

Dr. Silberman was very compassionate during the process. He took the time to explain things, asked about my pet and sat with us during everything.

Knox “ The Pooper Dooper” Dr Josh was extremely compassionate and kind when he came into our home to put our baby to rest. I have never had to go through euthanasia for a pet before, and I was nervous about the procedure itself. Dr Josh has a much more gentle and merciful approach with euthanasia. I myself am having a hard time processing my baby leaving this world. Dr Josh deserves this recognition thank you for coming into our home and being easy with our heart and soul. Kattey and Austin

Dr. Le Blanc was very kind and reassuring that we were making the right decision. I really appreciated her empathy. She was professional but compassionate.

Dr. Alexandria Bufford was very professional and kind. She came to our home same day, on a Sunday night when my dog took a turn for the worst. She even hand delivered his remains after. I would recommend her services. She was very helpful during a difficult time.
