Dr. Jem Scott-Emuakpor was so caring and helpful to us during the in home euthanasia of our beloved dog, Lizzie. She informed us of each step and lovingly helped our Lizzie pass peacefully here at home with us. We cannot begin to express our gratitude to Dr. Jem and her gentle, supportive manner towards Lizzie and towards us. We highly recommend Dr. Jem and are grateful for her service.

About Vet
Dr. Alexandria Bufford is committed to helping you provide your pet with a peaceful, dignified transition at home. Born in Columbus, MS, and raised in Auburn, AL, Dr. Bufford knew from the age of four that she wanted to become a veterinarian. After completing both her undergraduate degree and DVM at Tuskegee University, she dedicated her career to compassionate animal care. Her experience as an active-duty Army veterinarian has given her a unique understanding of the human-animal bond, as well as expertise in caring for military working dogs and addressing public health needs. With four years of experience in small animal practice, Dr. Bufford saw how stressful clinic visits can be for pets and their families. This inspired her to focus on in-home euthanasia, where pets can pass peacefully in a familiar environment, surrounded by love. Dr. Bufford’s goal is to guide families through this emotional process with grace, honoring the special bond they share with their animals. At home, Dr. Bufford finds joy in the companionship of her three pets: Chaco, a grumpy yet lovable 12-year-old Chihuahua mix; a rescue lab mix with a cautious heart but adventurous spirit; and a 15-year-old domestic shorthair cat with dog-like charm. When she’s not caring for animals, Dr. Bufford enjoys outdoor activities like kayaking, biking, and horseback riding, and she has even played rugby on an all-women’s team in the UK.

Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in Fayetteville, NC

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.

Dr. Clem made one of the worst days of my life just a little bit more bearable. I didn't have to think or really talk, she handled every step perfectly. I got my Lola back quickly and personally delivered. I hated having to make this decision but I am SOO thankful I chose Mr. Clem.

It was time to say goodbye to our senior dog, Teek. He had been ill and the symptoms were becoming more apparent. We knew it was time... Dr. Martin was able to come quickly, and was such a comfort in helping us with the decision and the procedure. Having had some experience prior, we knew what to expect. Dr. Martin took even more care, and made the process more bearable. I highly recommend his services.

Dr. Jem Scott-Emuakpor, was amazing during what was a very difficult time. She was kind and comforting and allowed us some extended quite time with our Romeo once he had passed. This was extremely comforting and allowed for some much-needed closure. She was a true professional and so calming.

Dr Christina, was very sweet to my Febe. I wanted Febe's last moments at home with her family. She was a happy girl and she is missed terribly. But this was so much easier for her. Thank You so much for being there for us.
