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.

Even though meeting under the circumstances, Dr. Amy felt more like friend or family member to us. She included our 8yr old son, explained everything in detail and our other 2 dogs were also included in the process. We hugged before she left, That meant everything to me! We received a sweet handwritten card from her about a week later with her condolences. I will recommend Dr. Amy over and over to families! We are still grieving our boy but doing this at home with Dr. Amy made the heartache a little less.

Where to start. Dr. Crawford is an amazing soul. At first I did not want him to be there, of course in my mind I was thinking that our mastiff would recover. Dr. Crawford patiently listened to me babbling . When I stopped he spoke with kindness,compassion and honesty. He informed our family he was in no rush. That alone scores ten stars. He explained Odin would not feel no pain. Odin was not cooperating so Dr. Crawford went a different route. Odin went peacefully . As I write this and cry, I am so grateful that God gave us Dr. Crawford to be the veterinarian to lead inOdins passing over that rainbow bridge. We will be forever grateful and thankful. Best Regards, Law Family

Our dog Bella was terrified of the vet Every visit caused her stress & anxiety. We were dreading forcing that on her for her final moments. Then we heard about at home pet euthanasia. Of course it is still very hard to do, but allowing her to pass peacefully at home in her little bed was a great choice for her. It went very smoothly and we are at peace with our decision. Dr Schott was amazing, very polite, sympathetic and straight forward. She kept us informed of each step and what to expect.

Dr. Laura was caring, personable and professional. She understood our feelings and needs during this process. She was patient and helpful in explaining the process to us both.

Dr Goldberg was so kind and careful, explaining each step beforehand, and giving us the time we needed, while attending to the comfort of our pet. It was such a gentle and calm process.
