In Home Euthanasia Service: $295

Deciding to say goodbye is often the hardest decision a pet parent makes, but choosing to do so in the comfort and familiarity of the home can make the process a little easier. Please utilize the online scheduler to fill out pertinent information and a member of our team will call you back to discuss your pet’s condition as well as to confirm your requested appointment.

Weekend appointments will be posted on our request link and be available as staffing allows. Weekend appointments are $370 to include a $75 after hour fee.

What to expect

The appointment begins with a general exam that includes a quality of life assessment to ensure all present are comfortable with the decision of euthanasia. Once the family and veterinarian have confirmed the medical decision to move forward, your pet is provided a sedative to alleviate any anxiety or pain and allow for a peaceful, dignified passing. When your pet and your family are ready, the doctor will place an IV and proceed with administering the second medication for euthanasia. Usually, this takes only moments and the doctor will let you know once your pet has passed. At the conclusion of the appointment, the veterinarian will see their way out to allow the family privacy and gather items for moving the pet for transport to our Aquamation facility.

Aquamation Services

Lowcountry Pet Hospice is proud to offer the first of its kind, Aquamation, in the state of South Carolina. This aftercare alternative utilizes water and salts instead of the traditional fire method of cremation to provide ash remains. If utilizing this option for aftercare, you are welcome to assist in moving the pet from the home to our veterinarian’s care. For frequently asked questions and pricing please click here.

**All appointments are scheduled for 1 hour with an additional hour for travel as we serve families across the entire Tricounty area based on their desired time requested or available. If additional time is needed to make a decision, we can schedule a follow up appointment for the next available day and time to discuss further options or possible euthanasia. In cases of an aggressive pet we will preschedule a second appointment same week/next day for euthanasia if the pet is not tolerable to strangers and injectable medications.

Cancellation Policy: We realize that end of life decisions can be difficult. If there is apprehension about a scheduled euthanasia appointment, please consider using the time for a quality of life assessment with no obligation to continue care. If cancelling after business hours of the day prior to the scheduled appointment, a cancellation fee of $180 will be applied.
