Dr Glenn Jackson was very caring and compassionate when he came to our home to help our declining 14 year old Springer Ziva cross over. My last four Springers passed away at home, even though difficult,I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in Syracuse, NY

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.

I cant say enough about Dr. Karen and the home euthanasia experience, this young woman was made to do this, she has a calmness about her that made our Ruby and my husband and I feel very peaceful. We were very sad but without the trauma of the vets office we were able to send her off to heaven from the place she loved for almost 12 years, I would call her again in a heartbeat to take care of our animals.

We used the at home euthanasia services of Dr. Kristina Pugh for our cat Cricket. I am very thankful for the comfort she was able to provide us. The process was very smooth and professional in the comfort of our own home. Dr. Kristina provided a paw print for keepsake and helped us with after care arrangements. The peaceful, radiant vibe of Dr. Kristina is exactly what I want if I ever have to use at home euthanasia services. If the time comes when I have to do this again I will surely contact Dr. Pugh.

The day we said goodbye to our beloved Cozmo was so hard. Dr Goldberg was kind, caring and compassionate. She asked about our life with Coz and what things stood out to us that he enjoyed. I told her how he used to love riding on the quad with me before he had gotten sick. I told her just a few days before, I had put him on the quad and rode him around the yard. He was sooo happy! My husband had taken this photo of us and you can just see the smile on his face. Later Dr Goldberg sent me a beautiful card and told me how very much she enjoyed the quad story. I sent her this photo and a few others. She thanked me for them and said how nice it was to see photos of his life when he was a happy healthy dog. I can't say enough about her and her compassion during such a difficult time. I truly recommend saying goodbye to your pet in this manner. They are so much more at ease at home and pass so peacefully. It is a truly humane way to say goodbye to you best pal.

Dr. Mary was great. She was warm, kind, empathetic and professional. We felt very at peace with the whole process. She made a very difficult experience a little more bearable . She reassured us that this was the right decision and helped us through the whole process. Thank you Dr. Mary for helping us give Layla a peaceful goodbye in the comfort of our home.

Dr Glenn Jackson was absolutely wonderful; he was so gentle and caring with our Coco (German Shepherd). He even arrived early as she was starting to decline. It was very apparent that he is a very caring individual. We appreciate his kindness!
