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.

This was sadly the second time in just over a year that we needed Dr. Struble's services. I can't say enough great things about having a Vet come to your home when you have to make the decision to let your cherished pet go. There is no travel stress for you or your pet. They are able to be in familiar, comfortable surroundings. Dr. Struble is kind and very gentle. She has chosen to provide a difficult, but essential service and I thank her profusely for it and the way she handles it.

Dr. Sarah Clem was incredible and we are so thankful for her services. Top notch from the time she first contacted us to the time she brought our fur baby back to us.

Still too raw or hurtful to even try to describe the pain of putting our Tut down… That being said Doc was professional, kind, Understanding and there was absolutely no time frame which she was operating on other than ours. I couldn’t suggest any other way or any other doctor more strongly. Thank you

Dr Michele Sims could not have been kinder or more understanding during the at home pet euthanasia for our pup, Bodie. She answered our questions and explained every step of the procedure as she went along. Our other pup was present during the euthanasia also. Dr Sims calm, compassionate manner helped make for a peaceful transition for Bodie which was reassuring for all of us. At such a sad time, knowing that Bodie was in Dr Sims caring hands was a source of comfort.

Our little 18 yr old Yorkie Poo was declining. She was having difficulty walking and getting confused. We opted for in home euthanasia. We wanted her home when she passed. We were all on the deck with her, her happy place. As hard as it was, being home with the entire family made it easier. She was surrounded by all those who loved her. Dr D Alexandra helped us say goodbye to our beloved Sadie Lynn. Thank you Dr Alexandra.
