HOME VISIT AND EUTHANASIA

I will come to your home, administer a pain-relief and sedation that helps relieve pain, provide relaxation and comfort before gently saying goodbye. I am happy to create a painted or ink paw print on cardstock for you at no charge. You may handle your pets remains for the after-care or I can assist in providing the following cremation options.

$275 *

The preferred method of payment is cash or check.

Credit card payments are accepted. Please do let me know before the
appointment. I may text message you a payment link or bring a hand
credit reader. As of 4/3/2024, I will add in a 3%
processing fee for credit card transactions.

* Appointments made less than 24 hours in advance on evenings and weekends are subject to a $25 afterhours care charge. It is with a heavy heart that I decided to add this fee.
