Dr. Sara recently helped us say goodbye to our sweet girl cat. It was such a hard time for us and she was very mindful of that. We are grateful to have done this at home and the service she provides is beyond appreciated. The compassion and empathy she shows means a lot. The Cremation company used was great and respectful. Chloe was home within 8 days. We highly recommend this company and Dr.Sara.

Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in Franktown, CO

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.

Choosing in-home pet euthanasia for our beloved Cain was the best decision we could have made during such a heartbreaking time. Dr. Laura Smith brought an incredible amount of compassion, respect, and calm to our home. Being able to say goodbye to Cain in his own comfortable, familiar surroundings—without the stress of a final trip to a clinic—brought our family immense peace. We are so grateful for the dignity and gentle care shown to Cain in his final moments.

Dr.Sara was very polite and had a very warm energy. She came to my house on one of the hardest days of my life and she was gentle and her tone was very low and soft. She made sure we were all comfortable during the whole process and made us feel heard and seen. She was very professional and made sure to explain everything step by step. She was so gentle when she left the house with my baby. Thank you so much for being there and helping us get through a very difficult time.

How does one ever fully come to grips with the decision to say goodbye to a family member? I don't know. That was a reality we had to face with our dog Blaze after just ten short years together. We wanted his last moments to be at home surrounded by us and his brothers. Our hearts were full of questions, anxiety, and grief, but when the time came, Dr. April Le Blanc gave us the support and reassurance we needed. She came to our home and was kind and warm and made sure Blaze was comfortable. We can't imagine having to go through this process without her guidance.

Dr. Sara Gardhouse provided exceptional compassion and care during one of the hardest moments of my life. She came to my home to help my sweet cat, Abby, peacefully end her long decline in health. Dr. Gardhouse was gentle, respectful, and incredibly kind to both of us. Her presence brought comfort and dignity to a heartbreaking experience. I am deeply grateful for her support.

Review by Dr. Sara Gardhouse

Me and my family had to make the difficult decision to euthanize our family cat Charlie who had been with us for over 18 years after his health suddenly declined into his old age, and Dr. Kristin Kemper was such a blessing to have to help us go through the entire process. We chose in home pet euthanasia, and she was so beyond kind, patient and understanding towards us during what was easily one of the worst days of mine and my family’s life. Not only that, but the process was extremely peaceful for our Charlie and he experienced no pain or discomfort the entire time. It was done in the backyard, one of his favorite places, and Dr. Kemper showed our boy tremendous respect from beginning to end. Despite it still being one of the most difficult decisions we’ve ever had to make, I’m so grateful we were able to do it peacefully for him in a place that was familiar to him, and without pain or fear. Dr. Kemper ensured that Charlie was well taken care of, and he went easily, surrounded by the people who love him most, and in his favorite place in the world, and she is to thank for that.
