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 Laura Smith was the best of the best when she came to our home to help Barney go to the Rainbow Bridge. I highly recommend her and this company.
We unfortunately had to make the decision to help our baby cross the rainbow bridge, and I cannot express enough how much easier it was to be able to do it in our home, where our baby was comfortable. Dr Randolph was so extremely kind. He asked questions and got to know our baby, he let our kids have the chance to share their memories, and be apart of the whole process. Nothing makes this decision any easier, but it helps having a considerate vet to walk you through the process and show real compassion to our babies at the end of their life.
After having to go through this experience twice before, we opted for in-home euthanasia. Dr. Rona was considerate, compassionate, and very professional. She showed up early, answered all our questions, and gave us plenty of time to say goodbye. She made the experience easier and left us knowing we made the right choice. Highly recommend Dr. Rona.
Dr. Tovar was very thoughtful and caring during this difficult time. She made sure our baby was very comfortable and was very supporting during the process. Thank you Dr. Tovar.
Dr. Dover made my wife and I feel at ease instantly. She explained the process thoroughly and was very sweet to our dog. She made a difficult experience easier with her kindness and professionalism. Thank you!
Dr. Lori Thomas was a godsend. We had to make the gut-wrenching decision to say goodbye to our 15-year-old Zöegirl, and we are so grateful that Dr. Thomas was there to guide us through it. The experience was cozy, peaceful, and filled with so much empathy and love. She texted ahead of time to see if we had any questions or wanted to talk before the visit, and on the day of, she let us know when she was on her way. When she arrived, she greeted us like family. She took her time getting to know Zöe and made us feel comfortable with the hardest choice we’ve ever had to make. It was especially difficult because Zöe had sundowners, and during the day she could still seem so bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. But she had walked into the pool several times, was running into walls, losing her balance, and losing her way. As hard as it was, we knew it was best not to wait for a middle-of-the-night emergency or have to say goodbye in a stressful vet room instead of in the comfort of her own home. Dr. Thomas explained every step of the process and made sure we were ready and comfortable. She handled our girl with such care and love, even driving her off as her “copilot” in a basket in the passenger seat. We truly could not have been blessed with a better end-of-life experience or a more compassionate doctor. We are forever grateful.
