I thought Dr Noe was professional but a I also felt rushed in a way. Once Onyx had passed she had almost left hurriedly out the door, not allowing me ample time with Onyx. But I did express I do want more time before she leaves. She was understanding and left to her car to take her medical bags and came back. I helped her to her car and she gave me more time at her car.

Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in Concord, CA

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.

As my family liked to describe Dr. Laurie & her assistant, they were like angels. The way they both made my family feel comfortable & prepare for our handsome Limbo to go to Dog heaven, made this experience worth it. My family appreciate her so much for being patience w/ us & showing so much care & love within the process. We’re thankful that you were able to be available even at night time, which made it possible for more of my family to be available to come through. Thank you again Dr. Laurie! Especially for everything you’ve done for our dear Limbo!

Dr. Noe was very professional and compassionate throughout this difficult time for us. She treated our beloved dog Chico with the utmost respect and kindness in his last moments. We are very grateful in the knowledge he was no longer in pain and resting in peace

Dr. Noe had a very calm and kind disposition. She understood our grief and helped us feel comfortable while saying goodbye to our 16 year old dog. Euthanasia at home was absolutely the best gift we gave our dog - she was able to peacefully pass while being with family, in her own bed, in her own loving home, and even with our cat staying close by. Our dog had no stress during the process whatsoever, just relief. Thank you Dr. Noe.

During such a difficult time recognizing that our 12 year old lab had reached the end of his life, we were comforted to find an option for in home euthanasia. Dr. Lowman was incredible kind and compassionate. She explained the process and made sure we were ready and had time to say our goodbyes.

Dr. Christy was an angel. She handled my baby boy Ash so well and while it was difficult to let him go she made the event very personal and beautiful. I’m sure he appreciated her kindness and my family appreciated her as well. More people should look into this as a peaceful and personal tribute to the end of life experience. Thank you so very much.
