Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in Tacoma, WA
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

As hard as something like this is to go through, it is at least reassuring that you have a partner who understands the pain and loss that is associated with saying goodbye to one of your closest friends.
Dr. Gordon performed the euthanasia for my sweet soul dog of 16 years. It was the most peaceful experience I could’ve asked for. She knew exactly what to say and created such a calm environment to spend our final moments together. I’m very grateful for her service.
We are deeply thankful to Dr. Shannon Nakaya for the care and compassion she showed during our beloved dog Giggsy’s final moments. Saying goodbye was an incredibly painful decision and a very difficult day for us, but her kindness, patience, and gentle approach helped ease the burden. Dr. Nakaya guided us through the process with understanding and treated Giggsy with such tenderness and respect. Her compassion and professionalism truly made all the difference during this heartbreaking time.
Beyond an excellent Doctor, she’s a wonderful human being, very caring, honest, considerate and as sad as this farewell is, she made it the most at ease and calm as ever possible, we thank you for your kindness
Dr. Bonnie Goldthwaite took care of my service dog, Armani with professionalism and tenderness. She did not hurry the process and was attentive and loving during the procedure. She carefully explained the procedure and made sure Armani was relaxed and not in pain. I will always be grateful for her kindness.
This company was great to work with, and the vet was an absolute godsend. She was super kind to my boy, Jägermeister, and to my family. Her professionalism even with the minor setbacks was great, and you could tell she really did care about the situation we were going through. Truly could not have sent a better person.
