Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in Fresno, CA
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 Keri Wasmoen was a blessing! She felt like a member of our family as she gently led us through the process. She was so genuine and sincere. She made a very difficult day a little easier as her peaceful demeanor made us all feel calm and at peace.
Dr. Loweth was amazing! She made the whole process comfortable for our dog and our family. She was very respectful and gave us time to say our goodbyes in private, and allowed us to walk our dog to the car to send him off. She took great care of our dog, and I couldn't ask for anything better. Thank you Dr. Loweth for everything, and for taking such great care of Dexter for us!
We can’t say enough about Dr. Sarah. She was so thoughtful and kind at a very difficult time. Thank you again for your patience and caring 💗🐶
Dr Karen Whala has been wonderful with our pets. We were fortunate that we found her. Her compassion and understanding when it is time to say good by was comforting to us. Thank you Dr Whala for your patience and understanding. The Lee Family
Dr Hundley was wonderful. She came to my mom’s home to help with her cat. My mom’s cat was very feisty and difficult to deal with but Dr Hundley was prepared for any situation and was incredibly patient, letting things take their time, she was in no rush to get things done. She was professional, soothing, and symapthetic. Dr Hundley made this difficult process much easier for our family.
I cannot express enough how WONDERFUL Dr. Whala is! I will never, ever use any other vet for putting any of my kitties to sleep. She has such a calm and loving presence. She made this hard time actually easy. No tears: just immense gratitude that my sweet Blotty got to go in such a calm and peaceful way, at home. Thank you, Dr. Whala!
