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.

Saying goodbye to my companion and best friend, Coco, was the hardest thing I have done. Dr. Nicolette Michelli made the experience pleasant, despite the situation. She was very patient with us and you could tell she sincerely cared. She even went above and beyond to make sure I had received Coco's ashes. I have three more fur babies and as long as Dr. Nicolette Michelli is available, I know the experience will be pleasant when that time comes again.

Dr. Lori was so kind and compassionate, which was so appreciated. She was so gentle and caring with little Gracie. This experience was so peaceful and calm because we were able to say goodbye at home, and avoid that last trip to the vet's office, which always made Gracie shaky and fearful. Also, Gracie's brother and litter mate, Milo, was able to know what was happening and say his goodbyes to his lifelong companion of 14 years. Much better this goodbye than having his sister taken to the vet's, never to return, and not know what happened. I'm so grateful for this service, and Dr. Lori Schmalz, who brought such a welcome level of reassurance and kindness to the day we had to say a heart-wrenching goodbye to our sweet Gracie.

I’m heartbroken but at home was the most beautiful way to say goodbye and be there fully until the very last breath she took. It was a peaceful & gentle passing just as our beautiful girl lived her life and in a way she deserved.

We recently had to put down our cat of almost 14 years. We couldn't have asked for a better way for her to pass. Dr. Mumm was very transparent and professional about the process and took her time. She went above and beyond with her kindness by and even made some keepsakes. We recommend her to anyone that has to make this difficult decision. We are so thankful that she helped our cat pass as peaceful as possible in a spot were she was calm and comfortable.

This is the second time Dr. Allison has been there for us in such a difficult time in our lives. I requested her immediately when we knew our 16 month old golden doodle Rutledge's cancer was terminal. She is so very respectful, knowledgeable, loving, kind and calming. The peace we felt in this process at home was priceless. My sweet baby crossed over with his family and his animal family by his side while eating hotdog and whipped cream. Words are just not enough to describe what Dr. Allison gives to her patients and their families. Thank you so much for providing this alternative to traditional euthanasia at the office. Thank you again Dr. Allison for helping carrying the weight of something so painful for us.

My gratitude to Dr. Becca and her team is immeasurable. In home pet euthanasia made a heartbreaking process much more peaceful and dignified for both my pet and me. Their compassion and empathy were truly unparalleled. I also appreciated their understanding cancellation policy - it gave me the flexibility I needed during such a difficult time. Thank you for treating my fur baby with such care and for staying until I was okay. I’m deeply grateful.
