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.

We had to say goodbye to our 19 year old kitty last week. Dr. Hundley was amazing and easy to work with from the start. She answered all of our questions and was extremely compassionate. She helped us navigate the after thoughts (cremation, urns, etc.) with ease. We had a group of 5 people attend the at home service and she worked around all of us, gave us all time with him. Highly recommend.

Dr. Silberman was so kind, compassionate and supportive during one of the hardest days of our lives. He made the whole process so much more peaceful, and reassured us that we made the right decision. We will forever be grateful for his kindness.

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!

Our experience with Dr. Valentino was excellent. Her peaceful, calm personality put us all at ease. She sat on the floor with Liliy and explained every step of what she was doing and how Lily was feeling. Thank you .

It was very comforting that we were able to keep our pet in a place that he felt most comfortable and happy when we said goodbye. Dr. Bean was great to work with.

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!
