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.

Saying goodbye to our girl Jolene in the safety and comfort of our home was priceless. Dr. Whala’s compassion and gentleness eased our spirits as we said goodbye to Jolene.

This service made this difficult experience more manageable. Our pet was able to pass with comfort and dignity in his own home. Dr. Kelli Bays was professional and caring and would recommend her.

Dr Elizabeth was the best person we could ask for in a horrible circumstance. She was patient, informative, and caring. I would definitely recommend.

Dr Jessica Mumms was incredibly kind in her approach. No one ever wants to put a pet down but the service she provided made the process a very caring experience. I would recommend her highly and thank her for her compassionate care of our Cat Gracie and of us her parents .

Dr. Perret was very kind as he helped my dear Abby-Jo cross the rainbow bridge. He took great care and compassion to explain the procedure and even though it was a sad day, it was made easier by his thoughtful and gentle professionalism. I couldn’t have asked for a better vet, and the fact that he came all the way to my home where Abby wouldn’t be scared or placed under any undue stress meant the absolute world to me. I highly recommend Dr. Perret.

Dr. Carner was amazing, made it as smooth as possible and genuinely cared about my old boy. Painful for use but she did what she could and was very patient with my beautiful boy and the family as well.
