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 . Jenny Tovar was very calm , patient and loving towards our pet and also compassionate towards us as the owners in our grief. She was a huge blessing during a most difficult time .
Dr. Ramos came to our home to help us say goodbye to our beloved Phin and we could not have asked for a more compassionate and caring person during such a difficult time. She treated our dog with such gentleness, dignity, and respect, and she showed incredible kindness to our entire family throughout the process. She took her time, explained everything, and created a peaceful environment that made an impossible moment feel a little easier to bear. Her warmth and genuine compassion were evident through all communications. We are so grateful that our dog was able to pass comfortably at home surrounded by love. Dr. Ramos is truly a wonderful person, and we will never forget the care and comfort she provided to our family. Thank you for helping us through one of the hardest days with such grace and kindness.
No one ever wants to make the call to bring a vet into your home to say goodbye. However, Dr. Sarah Wratten made the worst day of our family's life go from intolerable to bearable. Our 12 year old dog gave us no warning he was unwell and collapsed in the kitchen around 5pm on a Thursday. I called 3 other in-home euthanasia services, one said they could come Saturday, on said they could come Tuesday and one said they did not have any openings and we should go to an ER. All the while, our boy is suffering. Coda had an option to put in an emergency request. I did this at 6:44pm and by 6:48 Dr. Sarah had texted me that she could come right away. She arrived and was so kind and helped us know we were making the right choice (you can never be "sure" on these things) and prioritized making our guy comfortable before anything else. She helped our 3 children understand what was going to happen and gave us all the time we needed. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Wratten. I wish we had met her under happier circumstances, but we feel so blessed that she was the one to help us say goodbye.
Words can't express how grateful we are to Dr. Litwack for allowing us to say goodbye to our Tess at home surrounded by love and comfort. Dr. Litwack was so kind, caring and compassionate throughout the entire process, first explaining what would occur, and then helping us along the way while giving us time to say our goodbyes. I would highly recommend him if you are considering in home euthanasia for your pet. Thank you Dr. Litwack.
Dr. Kellie was so compassionate and comforting. Her care helped us through. So, kind. I can recommend her & her care to anyone in this circumstance.
I knew my dog, Thelma, was ready to go. I knew I wanted it done at home. I knew I wanted the right doctor to help with this painful process. After reaching out to several vets, I found Dr. April Le Blanc. When I opened the door on that dreadful day, I knew I'd found the right person. She was compassionate, and understanding. Dr. April immediately understood how much Thelma meant to me and honored my requests completely. She gently explained what was going to happen and when. Thelma went peacefully under her favorite bush in our garden. Considering what a heartbreaking day that was, Dr. April made the pain more tolerable with her sensitivity and love for animals.
