Dr. Cara Mitchell grew up on a farm in Western North Carolina, where her love for animals began at an early age. Guided by her father's teachings to respect and care for all creatures, she pursued her passion for veterinary medicine at Ross University, earning her DVM in 2017. After completing a residency at the University of Chicago and landing her dream job at Cornell University, Dr. Mitchell made the heartfelt decision to return to her hometown to be closer to family and support her mother during a challenging time. As a veterinarian, Dr. Mitchell believes deeply in the responsibility humans have to care for animals that rely on us. Whether it’s a farm animal or a beloved pet, her mission is to ensure that every animal feels safe and loved. Over the course of her career, Dr. Mitchell has performed countless euthanasias and has developed a compassionate approach that focuses on the animal's life and comfort. Her gentle presence helps both pets and their families navigate this difficult process with love and peace. In her free time, Dr. Mitchell enjoys hiking, camping, and riding motorcycles with her husband along the Blue Ridge Parkway. She also has two cats, Ares and Tabby, who have accompanied her on adventures across eight states and beyond. Dr. Mitchell’s dedication to compassionate care ensures your pet will feel comforted and loved during their final moments.

Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in Asheville, NC

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.

Dr. Erin couldn’t have been more kind, compassionate, caring and gentle with us and our pup. This has undoubtedly been one of the biggest losses and most traumatic choices I have ever had to make, however, Dr. Erin’s professionalism and grace made our experience one where we felt safe in our grief and knowing our boy wasn’t in pain as he passed. Eternally grateful. Thank you.

Choosing to have your pet euthanized is a difficult experience, but we knew it was time for our cat as he had been struggling with the effects of HCM for weeks. We chose in-home pet euthanasia because Scout always hated being taken to the vet and we didn't want to cause further stress in his final hours. Fortunately Dr. Lauren Frary was near where we live and I had read great reviews about her work. I just want to add that they were all warranted. Dr. Frary was kind and engaged both with us and Scout. The process was explained in detail and we had plenty of time to say our goodbyes. The procedure went smoothly and peacefully. We're so glad we chose Dr. Frary for this difficult choice--she made it a much more pleasant experience.

Dr. Mumm was compassionate, caring, and kind throughout our difficult time of saying goodbye to our elderly Bella. We could not have asked for a more peaceful experience both for Bella and for us.

Dr. Perzak was great in this very sad event. She was very compassionate with our little guy. I would recommend her to anyone needing this service.

Dr Beth Nunn at CodaPet assisted us with an in home pet euthanasia for my kitty Lulu. Taking her to a vet office again was not an option as she was stressed and terrified after going there. Plus vets want to continue to give meds and keep them in office, and I knew it was her time to pass. The process was very peaceful and Dr Nunn was so flexible given we had to change appts twice. Its the worse thing we have to do with our loving pets, but this made the process much less stressful.

Dr. Crawford is far and away the kindest human being I have ever met. Before he even shook my hand he said “I’m sorry we have to meet this way.” He brought such a peaceful presence to what I knew was going to be one of the most difficult days I’ve had to go through. Our appointment was scheduled for an hour and it ended up taking almost two. Fortunately for my wife and I there were moments of levity during the appointment and John didn’t miss a beat adding to that levity. When everything was finished he placed a firm grip on my shoulder to let me know my sweet girl crossed the rainbow bridge and I could see in his face that he shared my pain. That level of compassion was unexpected but incredibly welcomed. Should anyone else find themselves having to make the same difficult choice I had to make I encourage you reach out to Dr. Crawford.
