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. Jason Doolittle was great in a time we had to make the tough decision to do an in home pet euthanasia for our sweet boy Rio. He was so sweet and nice to our dog like he was his own. He was sincere in his sympathy for our situation, explained everything to us as to what he would do, and what to expect. We had two additional dogs that we wanted to have say good bye to their brother and he stepped out to allow us that time. He came prepared and while the whole process was quick, he gave us the opportunity several times to take any time we needed to say goodbye before removing our dog. Rio was with my husband and I for 14 years and this was the best way we could help him cross the rainbow bridge. We could not recommend Dr. Doolittle and his services enough.

The gentle care Dr. Stern gave to my kitty on the last minutes of her life made the whole experience a happier, and peaceful time. Having her come to our home and helping my baby pass on was the last gift I would be able to give her, and Dr Stern made it possible. Thank you for your kindness and compassion.

Dr. Jesse was very kind, incredibly respectful and professional. I was very impressed and so thankful for him at such a difficult and vulnerable time for our family. I highly recommend him if you ever find yourself in this impossible situation. He thought of things we didn't think of and asked permission before taking any steps. He was more available and responsive than even our established veterinarian as well as any other in-home service in the area we had considered. Especially right after a major holiday. The timing of our situation was awful being right at Christmas but he was not only available on short notice but the day after Christmas! Others that came recommend didn't even contact us back for over a week or not at all! Afterwards he hand delivered our Henry's ashes back to us and handled everything, making sure everything was clear when I could barely think straight. We are very grateful. This was very hard and he did everything possible to make it easier on us.

Dr Angela is a very professional and kind person. Can’t thank her enough for the afterlife service and for the in-home euthanasia. She assured me that it was absolutely painless, which was so comforting. She answered all my questions with compassion. She carried the basket out to her vehicle, as if there was a baby inside with so much care, dedication and respect. Rex was two weeks short of 15y. . I had requested cremation on same day bring a Hindu, and she arranged for same making a special request successfully. That meant so much and brought closure to me. I would recommend her services to anyone in same situation as me.

Dr. Meadows made such a difficult time for me, a little easier. He explained everything, and he was very attentive toward my boy. He was handled with care, and that’s all I could ask for. I would definitely recommend

I was referred to Dr. Murray by someone who had used his services for their dog a few months prior. The care and graciousness that he showed myself, my family, and my soul dog was unmatched. From the moment he arrived, I could feel his calming energy. He was kind, thorough, and patient. Dr. Murray took a really hard decision and made it feel comforting. Thank you so much. <3
