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.

Danielle was exceedingly thoughtful and kind. My experience left me feeling the best had been done for Brody. It was peaceful for him by being done in his familiar home environment. I highly recommend.

Dr. Dover was absolutely the best during this difficult time. She will never know how much I appreciated her kindness and thoughtfulness.

Our experience with Dr. Shannon Nakaya was superb. We had a wonderful 16.5 year old Honey Girl that God was calling. Our personal in-home pet euthanasia experience, was a beautiful, wonderful send off for our dog. Dr. Shannon was kind, graceful, and comforting. Also of note, we have known Dr. Nakaya for around 25 years, as she has been the vet for our parrot's health as well. I would never take any family member (pet), to a vet office to send to heaven, as personal in-home pet euthanasia is definitely the way to go, and Dr. Nakaya is the best ! Highly and strongly recommend. The whole experience was beautiful !

Dr. Dawn was absolutely incredible. She was so understanding of our situation and gave our sweet dog the best care. We couldn’t have asked for a better vet to have helped us through this difficult time.

What an amazing service! We are so grateful that Dr Devlin was able to make our Harlow's last moments so peaceful. I would highly recommend this to anyone. The convenience is great of course, but also knowing that your pet is relaxed and not being traumatized is worth every penny. They make it easy for you to spend your time with your pet, as it should be. Thank you again.

There is no pain like losing a pet, but in home pet euthanasia helped make the transition easier. Dr. Alicia was wonderful; communicated early and often, didn't rush the process, and gave our sweet girl Chloe a peaceful passing. We were able to chose a comfortable spot in the yard and Dr. Alicia walked us gently through the process. Chloe was calm and relaxed throughout the whole journey and I'm sure was glad to not be at the vets office, again. Most appreciated she worked with us for after-care and took care of our girl until I was able to take her to her final resting place.
