Dr Struble is a very kind and sympathetic person, it was a very emotional time for me but she was very patient and gave me the time I needed to say goodbye to Wooster . I really appreciated her understanding and kindness and I will always be thankful for her help.

From the moment Dr. Haros walked thru our door. We immediately felt his compassion. The way he spoke with kindness and authenticity were comforting. He explained each step in the beginning and continue to tell us what was going to happen as during the whole procedure. He stopped and gave us the time we needed during each step. Asked us if we ready for each step. We were able to send our Ace with him with his blanket and teddy. He took such care removing Ace from our home. We want to THANK him for the compassion and care for my family and our little buddy Ace.

Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in Virginia Beach, VA

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. Lisa Stadler is an angel of mercy, her calm energy and willingness to endure the chaos surrounding our hard decision to let our Rottweiler fly free was amazing. Highly recommend 💜

Dr Struble came to our home to help our Chloe with her transition. Dr Struble came after hours and was so kind and compassionate. I feel good knowing that Chloe was in the best of care. I definitely will recommend her services to friends and family. Thank you again!

It was so comforting having Dr. Roberts facilitate Dozers passing. She let me pace the process and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience on such a sad day.

Dr. Struble was amazing and very compassionate. It was so hard to let our Bossman go and she understood that. We did not feel rushed and had the time we needed to say good bye. Thank you Dr. Struble💙💙

Dr Christina, was very sweet to my Febe. I wanted Febe's last moments at home with her family. She was a happy girl and she is missed terribly. But this was so much easier for her. Thank You so much for being there for us.
