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
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.

The compassion and professionalism of this doctor was unparalleled and exceeded my expectations in every way. I truly felt as though an angel was sent to us to guide us through this traumatic experience.
For the most heartbreaking day, I didn't know how I was going to survive it, we had an angel come- Dr. Angela De Villa helped us through this journey. I am glad I gave my precious friend Bunny (cat) in home pet euthanasia, so she can be around her family and not be scared in her last moments at a vet clinic. Dr. Angela came in so softly we didn't even notice her, she was kind and comforting during this hard time, she was the angel we needed on this day.
It's so odd to rate a home euthanasia of a beloved pet as "an excellent experience". It's not. It's devastating. This is the second home euthanasia I've had and given the choice, I will always choose this method. Not everyone gets to make this choice and my heart goes out to them. "Why?" you ask. Here we go. 1. The pet is not afraid. They’re in their home environment where everything is familiar and their favorite things are close at hand. 2. You aren’t adding stress by taking a sick animal on a car ride and into a business with other animals and lots of strangers. 3. I could take my time saying goodbye. Nothing was rushed. This process was three injections, with time between for the medication to take effect. Once my dog had passed, I had additional time to pet and cuddle my sweet boy. We put him on the stretcher when I was ready. It wasn’t a long time, but I called the shots. 4. The experience is dignified. I wasn’t a sobbing mess in public. I was a sobbing mess, but I was home. 5. As many support people as you need. I had several friends there for the final moments. I don’t know that I could have done that in a veterinarian’s office. Cost is a factor, so be sure to shop around for a service that lets you add items a-la-carte, rather than pre-charging you for things you may not want or need.
Dr. Michelle Vosburg made an incredibly sad situation Into a beautiful experience in helping our family say goodbye to our beloved, furry family member Tank . Would highly recommend her services!
The time had come for my family to say goodbye to our sixteen year old Russian Blue, Padmé. We are grateful to Dr. Bonnie for making the process so peaceful. Her knowledge, professionalism and compassionate made an anguishing situation less painful. I highly recommend Dr. Bonnie and Coda Care.
Losing a pet that has been your best friend for over a decade is so painful. But as a pet parent you know when things are not right. This was a hard decision. There were tears but this was a very compassionate vet. I strongly recommend this service.
