Why Choose In-Home Pet Euthanasia?

Reduce Stress for Your Pet

At-home euthanasia eliminates the anxiety of a car ride and unfamiliar veterinary clinic. Your pet stays in their comfortable, familiar environment surrounded by the sights, sounds, and smells they know. For many pets, especially those with mobility issues or anxiety, this makes an enormous difference in their final moments.

Privacy and Comfort for Your Family

Say goodbye in the privacy of your own home without the pressure of a waiting room or clinic schedule. Take all the time you need before and after the procedure. Family members, including children, can participate in a way that feels right for them. You can create the peaceful, loving atmosphere your pet deserves.

Frequently Asked Questions About At-Home Euthanasia

How does in-home pet euthanasia work?

Dr. Grace Kertechian comes to your home at a scheduled time. She'll discuss the process with you, answer questions, and ensure you're comfortable. Your pet will first receive a sedative to help them relax completely, followed by the euthanasia solution. The process is gentle, peaceful, and pain-free. You can be present throughout and hold your pet if you wish.

Is mobile euthanasia more expensive than at a clinic?

While mobile vet services may cost slightly more than clinic visits, many families find the reduced stress for their pet and the privacy of their own home to be invaluable. The compassionate, unhurried care Dr. Kertechian provides is worth every penny. Call us for current pricing information.

What happens after the euthanasia procedure?

Cedar and Clay will respectfully transport your pet to our partner crematorium, Only Cremations for Pets in Newport Beach. Your companion will receive individual private cremation, ensuring you receive only your pet's ashes. We hand-deliver the ashes to your home in a beautiful cedar urn with a custom clay paw print keepsake within 2-4 weeks.

Can I be present during the procedure?

Absolutely. Most families choose to be present to comfort their pet and say goodbye. However, if you prefer not to be in the room, that's completely understandable and Dr. Kertechian will respect your wishes. You can also have family members or children present if that feels right for your family.

Do you offer emergency or after-hours euthanasia?

Yes. We understand that end-of-life situations don't always happen during business hours. Dr. Kertechian offers flexible scheduling including evenings and weekends. Call us at 818-200-2500 and we'll do our best to accommodate your needs during this difficult time.

What if I'm not sure it's the right time?

This is one of the hardest decisions a pet parent makes. Dr. Kertechian can help you evaluate your pet's quality of life and discuss signs that it may be time. She's experienced in guiding families through this decision with compassion and without judgment. You're never alone in this process.
