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.

Dr. Laura helped us through a very difficult time. She was compassionate and especially helped my wife through this with her gentle approach and kindness.

Thank you so much Jessica for your service yesterday. You were kind, patient, and so sincere with such a difficult time for us. I know that my sweet Bella is in a better place and we will miss her always.

Dr Brielle Dzierga made one of the hardest things I've ever done as gentle as possible. In home pet euthanasia is never an easy decision, but Dr Dzierga was caring, compassionate and incredibly patient. She was reassuring the entire time and explained everything.

I don’t even have the words for how grateful we are for Dr. Walden. She was available on such short notice and was at our home within 2 hours. Our sweet Dorkie Maddie was quickly taking a turn. She made it 17 years. Dr. Walden’s presence was so calming, so reassuring, so kind. She was so thoughtful with every direction, word, action, and touch. She was so patient and gave us all the time we needed to say goodbye. We had no idea what to expect with this process, but we can absolutely say that it although it was devastating, it was beautiful. Forever thankful for Dr. Walden.

We’ve had two beloved long time dog companions put to rest in the last eight months, both procedures through in-home pet euthanasia administered by Dr. Ramos. Grief for our loss leading up to, during, and after the procedures was indescribable. The first time we opted to postpone for several days until such time when our pet can no longer get out of bed to eat and go potty; and Dr. Ramos worked with us through it all. Her compassion shows through her silence, her consoling words are sincere. She’s knowledgeable and worked at our pace, giving us time to say proper goodbyes. We still shed tears as she took our pets away, but had no anxiety whatsoever that we sent them away humanely. I think it helped that it was our pets leaving us from their earthly home rather than us leaving them after they were euthanized at a site that’s strange to them.
