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

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.

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.

We are so very glad we chose to do in-home pet euthanasia, especially with Dr. Stukey. She was very respectful and made sure everyone was comfortable throughout the process, especially our sweet pup. We wanted an intimate moment with our sweet Sammy, and doing this at home where we could take our time was priceless. We wouldn’t have done it any other way.
Dr. Wolf was nothing short of wonderful on what was the hardest day of my life. She was so professional and made my family and most importantly my soul dog so comfortable. Would highly recommend to help ease some of the pain from the decision
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.
Handled with care, respect, empathy and dignity. Appreciated how she talked through the process and my 13 year old son was comfortable enough to be there as well through the whole thing.
Our in home pet Euthanasia experience was made bearable with the help of Dr. Chapman. She was kind, empathetic and supportive. She was truly wonderful during such a difficult time. We truly appreciated her kindness, warmth and professionalism.
Dr. Frary was outstanding. She was very compassionate throughout the while process and very kind. She explained everything very well and let us take our time. We have never done an in home euthanasia but after doing this, it will be the only way I so it from now on. Loosing a pet is always the hardest thing ever and to make it a little better for them on the last day was the best thing I could have ever done. Thank you for taking the time to let us do this peacefully at home.
