I cannot say enough positive praise to Dr. Gary. He made time, showed all the care and compassion during an extremely difficult time. Not only that but showed the most love and sensitivity to my pet during this time of his passing. I know this cannot be easy on Dr. Gary however, the amount of heart, patience and knowledge was more than felt. A pets passing is an emotional time however handling it with the love and care along with professionalism with the upmost concern for the 4 legged family member will forever be appreciated by me and family. When faced with a difficult choice, having Dr. Gary and The peace at home will always be recommended by me. Thank you Dr. Gary with all my heart.

Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in San Jose, 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.

These folks made a really challenging experience as easy as humanly possible. The entire process was simple and professional while also being purposeful and kind. I cannot imagine a better experience when saying goodbye to our beloved family pet and friend. Dr Chapman was so kind and peaceful. We say a huge thank you and also highly recommend working with this group if you should find yourself in need of someone to humanely and kindly help you say goodbye to your beloved pet.

Dr. Hsia was very professional and gentle with our Lola. He made the experience very easy for our family. His patience with our pet and allowing the kids time with her made it so much easier. He has a calming presence that makes a difficult process easier to handle. He was a great match for us and our pet.

We lost 3 pets within 1 year. There is a reason we keep calling Dr Gary Hsia. He is patient and respectful. His services allowed our pets to be where they were most comfortable in their last moments.

Dr. Hsia made a very difficult situation much easier. I would highly recommend their services. I researched price and their at home service was comparable to a veterinarian's office. My dog didn't like going to the vet, so I didn't want to subject him to that stress. I was so pleased with Dr. Hsia and his wife Dr. Bethany Hsia. They were kind, compassionate and very thoughtful during this difficult time for my family.
