When it's time to say goodbye, your dog or cat shouldn't spend their last hour in a car, then a waiting room, then a stainless steel table. We come to your home in South Mountain so your pet can go peacefully in their own bed, in your lap, or in the patch of afternoon sun they've claimed for years.
$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. South Mountain 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
We do our best to accommodate same-day requests, and our care coordinators answer calls and texts from 5:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., seven days a week, including weekends and holidays.
We give a two-hour arrival window, one hour either side of your appointment time, and we'll tell you what it is when you book. If you'd rather talk it through before deciding anything, that's what we're here for. There's no charge to call and no pressure to schedule.
South Mountain Village covers a lot of ground, from older established streets near Baseline to newer homes up against the preserve. If your home is up toward the foothills, the last stretch of road can be steep and narrow, so it is worth mentioning when you book if you have a larger dog, so we can plan how to carry them. If it would help to have some of the conversation in Spanish, please text 602-960-2501. Si le ayudaría tener parte de la conversación en español, envíe un mensaje de texto al 602-960-2501.
We come to homes throughout South Mountain, including South Mountain Village, Arizona Grand, Baseline corridor, Foothills Reserve. If your neighborhood isn't listed, that almost certainly doesn't mean we can't reach you. The list is only a sample. Call or text 602-960-2501 and we'll tell you straight away.
A veterinarian and a veterinary technician come to every appointment. You will never be asked to lift or carry your pet, whatever their size. Nobody is rushed, and nobody will hurry you.
Our veterinarians have chosen this work specifically, focusing on gentle, in-home euthanasia rather than splitting time with a general practice. Our team includes staff certified in pet loss and grief support.
We sit down with you first. We'll ask about your pet, talk through what is about to happen, and answer anything you want to ask, for as long as you need. You choose where your pet rests: their bed, your lap, the couch, the back patio.
When you're ready, your pet receives a sedative that includes strong pain medication. Over the next five to fifteen minutes they relax completely and fall deeply asleep. When you say so, and only then, the veterinarian gives the final injection. It's quiet, and it's quick.
Afterward we make a clay pawprint and clip a lock of fur for you to keep, and we give you time alone.
Our aftercare partner is A Greener Place in Mesa. They use aquamation, a gentle water-based alternative to flame cremation, and we handle every part of getting your pet there and your pet's ashes back to you.
If you'd like your pet's ashes returned, they come back in a wooden urn with an engraved nameplate. South Mountain families can collect them in Mesa, or have them delivered for $40. If you choose communal aquamation, we scatter your pet's ashes ourselves on private land in Ash Fork, and we'll show you exactly where.
If your pet died at home before we could get to you, we can still help. We'll come to your home in South Mountain, take care of your pet gently, and handle the cremation arrangements. Body care is $455 with communal aquamation and $590 with ashes returned. Call or text 602-960-2501.
We reach South Mountain 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.
Envíenos un mensaje de texto al 602-960-2501 y haremos lo posible por atenderle en español, o llámenos si lo prefiere. / Text 602-960-2501 and we'll do our best to arrange for part or all of the conversation to be in Spanish, or call if you'd rather.
