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.

Having to help our cat be free of his suffering was the hardest decision I've had to make. Dr. Leblanc was understanding of our pain and expressed sincere empathy for our family. She took time to share her life experiences and I could tell she genuinely cares for animals well-being. It was a very sad day but I know we did the right thing for Luciano and made his departure as painless as possible and most importantly he wasn't scared. Thank you Dr. Leblanc

We could not have chosen a better provider than Dr Keri Wasmoen. She was kind, compassionate and reassuring in helping our boy to be released from his pain. So very grateful for her professionalism and care.

Dr. Sarah Wratten had a very gentle approach to the situation and was very kind to our dog during his last moments as well as to us. She was informative and walked us through the entire process. Thank you, Dr. Wratten!

There truly are not enough words to express how kind, compassionate, thoughtful, and comforting Dr. Karen Duncan was during one of the hardest moments our family has ever faced. From the moment she arrived, she made us feel completely safe, at ease, and supported through the entire process. Every single detail — even the smallest touches you wouldn’t think of — was handled with such gentleness, dignity, and care. She treated our Finley-man with so much respect and love, and she treated us with the same compassion. Being able to say goodbye at home, where our pet was most comfortable and peaceful, made an unimaginable situation feel as comforting as it possibly could be. If you are considering in-home euthanasia for your own beloved pet, I truly cannot recommend Dr. Duncan enough. While this is a heartbreaking experience no one ever wants to go through, she made it the absolute best experience that this situation could possibly be. And honestly — while I sincerely hope I never need her services at my house again (for obvious reasons!), if and when that time ever comes, there is no question that it will absolutely be her. We will never forget her kindness.

It is never the right time to lose a pet, which is why finding the right person to help you through it is so important. Dr. Michele Sims was incredibly understanding, compassionate, and kind to our dog, Crackle. She arrived at our home right on time and explained the entire process beautifully. Her sympathy was completely genuine—you can truly see how much she cares for both the animals and their owners. This cannot be an easy profession, but it is so necessary. I am deeply grateful to Dr. Michele and the entire service for their support during such a difficult time.

Dr Gardhouse was wonderful in our time of need. She was incredibly kind and made the whole procedure go as peacefully as it could have. Our boy's ashes were also returned swiftly afterwards
