Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in New Haven, CT
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
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.

Overall service rating from over 4915+ reviews
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. Kirsten Stukey made an awful and dreadful experience as comfortable as it could have been! This was our first experience with having to euthanize! Our sweet Molly was 14 and had cancer! Dr. Stukey was so patient and never rushed us! She explained each step and wouldn’t do anything until we were ready! To be at home where our sweet Molly was comfortable was such a blessing! She didn’t have to experience the dreaded drive or vet office that already causes stress and anxiety! If I ever have to go through this again, I will only go this route and would definitely recommend and personally use Dr. Stukey again! Thank you so much for providing this service! It was such a gift to us! 🐾🩷
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 Cassandra responded quickly on a Saturday evening, and was very sympathetic. She talked to the children and cares about the feelings of those she are helping.
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.
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.
