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.

Wow. What wonderful people. Everything was done beautifully and with loving care. Could not have asked for a better experience at this sad time. Dr. Dzierga was amazing.

Kind, caring, brought treats for my dog and comforted him through the whole process. Couldn’t ask for a better vet to come and help ease our dogs pain and our minds. Thank you 🙏

Dr Loghmiller made accommodations to help us with ChowChow on a holiday weekend. Chiwchows are stoic and he was handling his pain so well until it just was severe that weekend. I was so thankful she was able to come two days before the appointment beacause he was suffering and could not hide it anny longer and the meds we had just were not enough anymore and his dementia was intense due to that pain.. She made the unbearable bearable and now we are adjusting slowly to him being gone. He was 16 + so it’s a big miss for us. He was truly my best friend and when he started to get dementia a couple years ago I became his main person. The house hold is just never going to be the same now. But at least I know he isn’t suffering. He was able to leave the world in peace and that is a much better last memory of our good baby . Thank you for making that possible and having such a great bedside manner and handling everything with care. We appreciate you more than you know. Even though we only met you for half an hour and barely said a few words I felt la hundred spirit there. With sincere appreciation, GB

Dr. Carolyn Benedetto made one of the hardest days feel peaceful and deeply personal. She took the time to understand Annie and created such a calm, cozy environment for our 14-year-old Cavalier’s final goodbye. She thoughtfully explained every step, was incredibly kind with my children. It was a far more compassionate experience than any clinical setting we’ve experienced before.

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.

Making the decision to help our dog peacefully pass was one of the hardest choices I have ever made. While it was not what I wanted, it was what I had to do for our beloved Dex. He was part of our family and very loved by many. Unfortunately he was headed downhill fast and the thought of letting him continue to suffer was unbearable. Dr. Nicolette Michelli is who assisted us and I can’t say enough about how compassionate she was. From the moment she met Dex she treated him like he was part of her family while helping me and my family through the grieving process. I hope you are never in this situation and forced to make the decision we had to but if you do I highly recommend Dr. Nicolette Michelli.
