Our experienced veterinarians come to you, bringing everything needed to ensure your pet’s passing is as gentle and stress-free as possible. No rushing, no clinical atmosphere—just compassionate care focused entirely on your pet’s comfort and your family’s needs.

In-Home Euthanasia Process Deerwood

A Gentle, Transparent Process

Our veterinarian arrives at your home with everything needed, taking time to explain each step and answer your questions. There’s no rush—everything moves at your pace.

First, we’ll discuss the process and handle payment arrangements so you can focus entirely on your pet. Then, your pet receives a gentle sedation injection under the skin, helping them relax completely. This takes 5-20 minutes, and some pets may need additional medication—every pet responds differently, just like people.

Once your pet is comfortable and peaceful, we prepare for the final step. A small area of fur is shaved, and the euthanasia medication is administered intravenously. Within 1-2 minutes, your pet passes peacefully, free from pain and surrounded by love.

Throughout the entire process, you can hold your pet, talk to them, and be present in whatever way feels right for you. After confirming your pet has passed, we give you private time for your goodbyes before handling all transportation and aftercare arrangements.

How do I know if it's the right time for at-home euthanasia?

This is the hardest question every pet owner faces, and there’s no perfect answer that applies to every situation. Generally, when your pet’s bad days consistently outnumber their good days, when they’re no longer interested in things they once loved, or when pain medication isn’t providing adequate relief, it may be time to consider euthanasia. Look for signs like difficulty breathing, inability to eat or drink, loss of bladder or bowel control, or withdrawal from family activities. Our veterinarians can help you assess your pet’s quality of life during a consultation, providing professional guidance without pressure. Remember, choosing euthanasia is often the final act of love—preventing further suffering when medical treatment can no longer provide a good quality of life.
Our veterinarian will arrive with all necessary equipment and take time to explain the entire process before beginning. First, we’ll discuss any questions you have and handle payment so you can focus on your pet. Your pet will receive a sedation injection to help them become completely relaxed and comfortable—this usually takes 5-20 minutes. Once your pet is peaceful, we’ll prepare for the final injection, which is given intravenously and works within 1-2 minutes. Throughout the entire process, you can hold your pet, talk to them, and be present however feels right for you. After confirming your pet has passed peacefully, we’ll give you private time for goodbyes before handling transportation and aftercare arrangements.
At-home euthanasia costs vary depending on the services you choose, but typically range from $400-500 for the basic procedure to $750-900 when including private cremation and ash return. We believe in transparent pricing and will discuss all costs upfront during scheduling, so there are no surprises during this emotional time. We also offer a 10% discount to first responders, military personnel, and rescue groups as our way of giving back to those who serve our community. Payment can be handled at the beginning of the appointment, allowing you to focus entirely on your pet during their final moments. We accept various payment methods and can discuss financial arrangements if needed.
The euthanasia process is designed to be completely painless for your pet. We always begin with a sedation injection that helps your pet become deeply relaxed and comfortable—essentially like falling into a peaceful sleep. While this initial injection involves a small needle (we use the smallest possible), any discomfort lasts only seconds. The final euthanasia injection is given intravenously and works by causing the brain to shut down completely within 1-2 minutes. Your pet simply falls deeper into that peaceful sleep and passes without any awareness or discomfort. The medication is essentially a concentrated anesthetic, so your pet experiences no pain, anxiety, or distress during the transition.
After giving you private time to say your final goodbyes, we handle all transportation and aftercare arrangements with the utmost dignity and respect. You can choose between private cremation (where only your pet is cremated and ashes are returned to you) or communal cremation (where ashes are scattered on our 20-acre private property in East Texas). With private cremation, we provide a complimentary urn along with a clay paw print keepsake, typically ready for return within 3-5 days—often by the next morning thanks to our fast turnaround times. Our unique pet portal software allows you to track your pet’s journey throughout the entire process, providing complete transparency and peace of mind during this difficult time.
Absolutely—being present during your pet’s final moments is one of the main benefits of choosing at-home euthanasia. You can hold your pet, talk to them, and provide comfort in whatever way feels right for you. Many families find great peace in knowing their pet’s last experience was being surrounded by the people who loved them most. You can choose to be present for the entire process or step away during any part that makes you uncomfortable—there’s no right or wrong way to handle this deeply personal experience. Our veterinarians will explain everything beforehand and guide you through each step, ensuring you feel supported and informed. The goal is to create the most peaceful, loving environment possible for both you and your pet during this final goodbye.
