Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in Tacoma, WA
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.

The best decision we ever made! We didn't have to take our dog to the vet; something that he and we didn't enjoy. We and the kids were all able to be there as a family and send our beloved off with gentle love in his own home without any stress or strain, as our final act of love. Dr. Megan Duvall is an exceptionally fine veterinarian. Her experienced and loving touch was marvelous. Our regular vet didn't have any facilities that could compare to our own home; and would have charged us nearly the same price. We are so glad that Myles (our Border Collie) was able to pass away in his own bed surrounded by his family! This is a no-brainer folks! We are so happy that we found Dr. Duvall!! Thank You!!
It took two painful shots in our cat's leg before he would lie down and be still. He was very scared after the first one. Then it took two shots to administer the euthanasia drugs. The second one was in his heart. He didn't seem to feel it at the time, and Ms. Goldthwaite was reassuring and surprised by his resilience, but overall it was exactly the opposite of what I had hoped for. We didn't want him to be scared like he would have been at the vet. Instead, he was scared at home. It was very hard to take.
Dr. Allie Poole in Atlanta, Ga is truly an angel on earth. We cannot put into words how grateful we are for her compassion, grace, and kindness during one of the hardest moments of our lives. She came to our home to help my beloved dachshund, KC, cross peacefully after 16 beautiful years and 5,838 days together. From the moment she walked in, her calm and gentle presence filled the room. KC had never reacted to anyone the way he reacted to her; it was as if he knew she was there to help him, to relieve his pain, suffering, and anxiety. In that moment, I truly felt like his angel had arrived. The at home euthanasia experience was peaceful, painless, and incredibly beautiful. Dr. Poole explained everything with patience and empathy, never rushed us, and ensured KC was surrounded by love and comfort every step of the way. Her presence brought me a sense of peace I didn’t know was possible in such a heartbreaking moment. I will forever be grateful to Dr. Allie Poole for the dignity, mercy, and love she showed my sweet boy. If you are facing this impossible decision, I cannot recommend her enough. She gave KC the gift of a gentle goodbye, and that is something I will cherish always. Thank you, Dr. Poole, for being exactly who we needed when we needed you most. 🤍🌈🐾 Sharing photos of KC’s healthier happier days in his memory.
Dr Stewart was so kind and caring when dealing with end of life care for our farm dog. Being able to have her come to our home made a difficult situation a little bit easier.
Dr. DuBose did super in the way she handled my pet. One would think it was her own pet. My pet was very calm around Dr. DuBose. She allowed me to hold my pet on my lap and I was able to show my love to my pet while Dr. DuBose performed the necessary procedure. I recommend her to anyone needing a professional, kind and compassionate Dr.
Dr. Bonnie Goldthwaite took care of my service dog, Armani with professionalism and tenderness. She did not hurry the process and was attentive and loving during the procedure. She carefully explained the procedure and made sure Armani was relaxed and not in pain. I will always be grateful for her kindness.
