Sun City was built for people to enjoy their retirement, and for a great many residents that has meant a dog or cat at their side through all of it.
A clinic is a frightening place for most animals even on an ordinary day. Coming to your Sun City 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, all in. Sun City is inside our service area, so there is no travel fee, and no surcharge for evenings, weekends, holidays, or large dogs. Nothing about the day, the hour or your pet's size changes that number.
$405 — At-home euthanasia
$555 — At-home euthanasia with aquamation, ashes scattered in Ash Fork
$690 — At-home euthanasia with aquamation, ashes returned to you
It is worth checking what a quote elsewhere actually includes. Weight tiers, mileage, and after-hours charges are usually added once you book, and together they commonly run $75 to $175. Nothing gets added here. What you read is what you're invoiced.
Someone is available to talk from 7:30 a.m. until 8 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.
Sun City is age-restricted, and most of our visits here involve a pet who has been someone's daily companion for a decade or more, often through a move, a retirement, or the loss of a partner. We do not treat that as a routine call. If you would rather talk it through on the phone than fill in a form, please just ring us on 602-960-2501 and a care coordinator will talk with you for as long as you need, with no obligation to book anything. If your community requires us to be listed at a gate or with a recreation center, tell us and we will arrange it.
We come to homes throughout Sun City, including Sun City, the Recreation Centers communities, Lakeview, Riverview, Bell. 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 Sun City 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 Sun City 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.
Sun City is one of the further points we travel to, so same-day is possible but not guaranteed. If you have any sense that the time is approaching, calling a day or two ahead makes a real difference to whether we can come when you'd like rather than when we're able.
No, and we mention it because this is genuinely one of our longer drives. There is still no travel fee, no after-hours surcharge and no weight tier. The distance is our cost to carry, not yours.
Yes, and we do regularly. Most have gate or office check-in, so tell us the community name when you book and we'll arrange clearance ahead of time so nobody is waiting at an entrance.
