Dr. Netherwood will transport your pet's remains with her in her vehicle after you have said your goodbyes. We work with a pet crematorium called family pet mortuary to offer cremation of your beloved pet. You have the option to have your pet's ashes returned to you (private) cremation or not (group cremation). Depending on your city/county code some people may elect to bury their pet at home. If you select private cremation your pet's ashes will be returned in a temporary cardboard urn unless otherwise specified.

We understand that it is hard to make this decision for your pet, we offer free cancellation 24 hours prior to your appointment if within 24 hours, we require a $30 scheduling and processing fee. Please make sure you contact us to cancel your appointment PRIOR to us showing up at your home, otherwise the full fee ($375) is required and it is considered a QOL assessment. 

At this time, we do not offer payment plans - payment is accepted by STRIPE to book your appointment. Payment is due before or at time of service. We prefer to collect payment prior to your appointment so you can focus on the needs of your pet and family during this difficult time. After you schedule an appointment and fill out the client intake form, we will send you a final invoice through STRIPE and a euthanasia consent form or your can fill this out in person. 

You have probably heard the term “quality of life” in conversations with your veterinarian or people close to you. Assessing your pet’s quality of life, which is subjective, and highly dependent on your dog or cat’s disease process, their personality, and your personal beliefs, is difficult. But we are here to help you through the process.
