** Pet pick-up is for pets that are already deceased that we are picking up at your home or another location, such as your veterinarian's office. A memorial paw print and fur clipping is included. Aftercare charges are in addition to the cost of the pick-up.
Prices include all professional services rendered (the euthanasia process) and memorabilia (clay paw print and fur clippings). Prices do not include any aftercare. Please refer to our water-based cremation services for information and pricing. A lower cost euthanasia option is available at our Comfort Center. Please click here for details.
There is a $25 same day fee for scheduling a visit for your pet the same day of your call. Same-day appointments require increased coordination and communication with our providers to accommodate your visit with their existing schedule for the day and often involves re-routing our vehicles and/or changing the provider. This fee is due at the time of scheduling the visit and is non-refundable even if the visit does not occur.
If your pet passes on their own before we arrive for the appointment, please let us know as soon as possible so we can notify our provider and coordinate aftercare (pick up of your pet for cremation services and/or memorialization), if applicable. We will also notify your veterinarian so you don't have to make that difficult phone call.
If your pet has severe anxiety or aggression issues and you are not able to assist the veterinarian in administering the initial sedation injection under the skin when they arrive please let us know. We can arrange to have an oral sedation kit dropped off at your home with explanation on how to use it prior to the scheduled appointment. The cost for this additional step is $50 within the 50 mile primary radius and $100 beyond the 50 mile radius. The majority of pets we help do not need this additional step, please discuss this with the veterinarian when you call if you think your pet will need pre-sedation prior to arrival.

There may be a $75 fit-in fee if we are scheduling a visit for your pet beyond our normal availability. If we are scheduling your pet as a fit-in that means we are coordinating for a provider to be avaialable beyond their normal working hours for that day or on a day that they are not scheduled so the fee reflects the increased effort on our part to honor your request. It is due at the time of scheduling the appointment and is non-refundable even if the visit does not occur. Our client care coordinator will let you know if this fee applies and will collect it at the time of the appointment booking.
