In-Home Pet Euthanasia

paw prints-watermark-pattern.png

A Peaceful Goodbye in Familiar Surroundings


In-home euthanasia allows your pet to pass peacefully in the comfort of home, surrounded by familiar sights, sounds, and the people who love them most. This approach helps reduce stress for both pets and pet owners, creating a calmer and more private experience.


Starting With a Conversation


Before any visit is scheduled, we begin with a thoughtful conversation to understand your pet’s condition, your concerns, and your wishes. This allows us to answer your questions, discuss what to expect, and help you determine whether an in-home appointment is the right next step.


Our goal is to provide guidance and clarity before anything is booked, so you feel informed, supported, and comfortable moving forward, without pressure or obligation.


What to Expect During the Visit


Each visit is thoughtfully guided by Dr. Andrew Arriola, DVM and includes:

 

  • A gentle consultation and explanation of the process

  • Time to ask questions or share concerns

  • Administration of a mild sedative to help your pet fully relax

  • A peaceful passing once your pet is comfortable

  • Time afterward for private goodbyes

  • We will provide a courtesy notification to your pet’s veterinarian for their medical records 

 

Appointments generally last 45–60 minutes, with the option to extend up to two hours if additional time is needed. Throughout the visit, we guide you through each step and provide compassionate advice to help you feel supported and informed.


Preparing for a Peaceful Goodbye


Preparing ahead of time can help bring calm to the experience:

 

  • Choose a quiet, comfortable place where your pet feels safe

  • Gather loved ones who wish to be present

  • Bring familiar items like a favorite blanket or toy

  • Allow yourself grace—there is no “perfect” way to say goodbye

 

Dr. Andrew Arriola, DVM, will guide you through the process, explain each step, and move at a pace that feels right for you and your family.

Cremation options include:

  • Communal Cremation
    Pets are respectfully cremated with others, and ashes are scattered at sea. Ashes are not returned.

    Your pet is cremated individually, and the ashes are returned in a selected urn, along with a clay paw print keepsake.

A selection of engraved wooden urn options is available, allowing you to choose a meaningful way to honor your pet’s memory. Our team will walk you through these choices and answer any questions to help you decide what feels right.
