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 Dover was so kind & understanding of how difficult it is to make the decision. I cancelled my first appointment with ease. Few days later I knew it was time! She was so gentle & loving to my almost 16 year old boy. She explained every step & what would happen next. No dog likes going to the vet, this was not a time to stress my boy out. If it’s your furry babies time I highly recommend Dr. Dover into your home.

Saying goodbye to our beloved cat was one of the hardest things we've ever had to do. Ee were extremely hesitant and nervous about having it done in our home, afraid that it would be too painful to witness. After having this experience I would recommend to anyone to have it done this way. Dr. Christine could not have been more kinder, patient, and gentle with us. He gave us plenty of room to take our time and say goodbye in the way we needed to and respected all of our wishes. We took on the pain and difficulty of the situation so our Kalina did not have to. She was calm and in her own environment and was given something to relax and fall asleep first so there was no apprehension on her part. For anyone reading this review I am so sorry that you have to go through this. It's the hardest part of being a pet owner. If you are considering this method with Dr. Christine, this is your sign that you are making the right decision and best choice for your pet.

This was such a difficult time for my family as Cooper was so loved by so many. Making sure he passed into the rainbow bridge in his happy place (front yard) was so important. Dr. Goldberg was awesome and the personal note she sent was amazing. She clearly listened to everything we were saying about Cooper and our other dogs who had passed over the years because she referenced them in her card. I would hands down recommend this at home service to anyone who has a beloved pet.

This experience was such a peaceful, humane approach to euthanizing a beloved pet. He always had a horrible experience getting in the car and going to the vet for wellness checks. I couldn't see putting him through this in his last moments. He died a peacefully. Thank you.

Dr Laura Smith was the best of the best when she came to our home to help Barney go to the Rainbow Bridge. I highly recommend her and this company.

Dr. Divine was just incredible. So much compassion was given to my children and me as we said our goodbye to sweet Hobo Kitty. Being at home was peaceful for both our pet and us. We didn’t have to keep our emotions in check as we were safe within the walls of our home. Hobo was happy to be where he spent most of his senior life. Curled up on a soft blanket on the couch.
