A clinic is a frightening place for most animals even on an ordinary day. Coming to your Gold Canyon home means your pet's last hour looks like all the ones before it: the same room, the same blanket, the same people, and no car ride at the end of it.
$405 — At-home euthanasia
$555 — At-home euthanasia with cremation (aquamation), ashes scattered
$690 — At-home euthanasia with cremation (aquamation), ashes returned to you
That is the whole price. Gold Canyon is inside our service area, so there is no travel fee, and no added charge for evenings, weekends, holidays, or larger dogs.
Most providers charge extra for a larger pet, for the drive out to you, and for evenings and weekends. On a typical Saturday visit for an 80-pound dog, those add $75 to $175 to the price you were quoted. We don't do that. The number above is the number you pay.
REQUEST A VISIT CALL OR TEXT 602-960-2501
Someone is available to talk from 5:30 a.m. until 5:30 p.m., seven days a week, holidays included. Same-day visits are often possible, and we will always tell you honestly if they are not.
Rather than a precise time we give a two-hour window, one hour before and one hour after, because it means we arrive unhurried instead of running late. And if you simply want to talk before you decide anything at all, call us. There is no charge for that conversation.
Gold Canyon homes are often on desert acreage with long private drives, and some sit inside gated golf communities. Give us gate details and cross streets when you book. Several of the communities here are age-restricted and require check-in. You are in Pinal County rather than Maricopa, which changes the rules on home burial, so ask us if you are considering it.
We come to homes throughout Gold Canyon, including Mountainbrook Village, Superstition Mountain, Peralta Canyon, Entrada del Oro. Don't read anything into a neighborhood not appearing above. It isn't a service boundary, just a handful of examples. One call to 602-960-2501 will settle it.
Two of us come to each appointment, a veterinarian and a veterinary technician. Carrying your pet is our job, not yours, no matter their size. And there is no schedule pressing on the visit; it takes as long as it takes.
Both of our veterinarians came to this work deliberately, dedicating their practice to at-home euthanasia rather than general veterinary work. Our team includes staff certified in pet loss and grief support.
We start by sitting down together. No clipboard, no rush. The veterinarian will want to hear about your pet, will explain exactly what happens and in what order, and will answer every question you have, including the ones that feel silly to ask. They aren't silly.
Your pet is given a sedative first, one that includes strong pain medication, and over five to fifteen minutes they let go of any discomfort and fall deeply asleep. Only when you tell us you're ready does the veterinarian give the final injection. It is peaceful and it is quick.
Afterward there's a clay pawprint and a lock of fur to keep, and time on your own with your pet for as long as you want it.
Aftercare is handled by our partner A Greener Place. They use aquamation, a gentle water-based process rather than flame cremation, and we manage the entire trip to and from their facility in Mesa so you don't have to think about it.
Choosing individual aquamation means your pet comes home to Gold Canyon in an engraved wooden urn, either collected in Mesa or delivered for $40. Choosing communal means we take your pet's ashes to private land in Ash Fork and scatter them there ourselves. Either way you'll know exactly what happened and where.
If you're reading this because your pet has already died at home, we can still come. Body care means we travel to your Gold Canyon home, take your pet into our care gently, and handle everything that follows, at $455 with communal aquamation or $590 if you'd like the ashes back. Call or text 602-960-2501.
We reach Gold Canyon regularly and can often come the same day or the next. Because it's a moderate drive, calling earlier in the day gives us more room to fit you in when you want us.
No. We don't charge mileage, and we don't add anything for evenings, weekends or holidays, or for the size of your pet. The figure on this page is the figure on your invoice, whatever the drive.
Give us the nearest major cross streets and a landmark alongside your address when you book, plus a mobile number we can reach on the day. That combination is what keeps us on time out here, and we'd much rather ask than guess.
