A gentle guide

Saying goodbye at home

Everything we wish someone had told us the first time. Read as much or as little as helps.

This is still your decision

A vet can guide you and answer every question, but nobody else decides for your family. It’s okay to feel unsure. Most families do.

How will I know it’s time?

Watch for more bad days than good ones: not eating, trouble standing, pain that medicine no longer eases, or losing interest in the things they love.

What happens on the day

  1. We confirm and call. If you’d like, your vet phones the day before to answer questions.
  2. Your vet arrives. You’ll get texts as they get closer, and they’ll come in quietly.
  3. Time together. Nothing is rushed. Share stories, give treats, sit on the floor together.
  4. Gentle sedation first. Your pet drifts into a deep, comfortable sleep in your arms.
  5. A peaceful goodbye. Your vet explains each step and listens until the heart has stopped.
  6. Gentle care after. We carry your pet with dignity and take them into Angel Paw’s care.

What the price includes

  • The visit and gentle sedation
  • Travel to your home
  • A $4.99 booking fee per order, a 3% credit-card surcharge on your full selected subtotal, and $0.30 per pet
  • Aftercare, if you choose it
  • Keepsakes, if you want them

Every line is shown before you book, and your card isn’t charged until after the visit.

If children or other pets will be there

Kids can ask every question, or none. There’s no script to follow. Simple, true words help: “Bailey’s body stopped working, and he won’t wake up.”

  • Under 5: keep it short and reassuring. A hug or a drawing is a lovely goodbye.
  • 6 to 12: answer honestly. Many want to be there; some prefer to say goodbye before.
  • Teens: let them choose, and include them in decisions like aftercare.
  • Other pets: letting them sniff and see often helps them understand, and eases searching afterward.

Choosing aftercare

Private cremation · $285

Only your pet. Ashes come home in a wooden urn.

Private aquamation · $320

A gentle, water-based alternative. Ashes returned.

Communal cremation · $140

Scattered with care in a memorial garden.

Home burial · no charge

Your own arrangement, in a place that matters.

Whatever you choose, you’ll get an update at every step until your pet is home.

Thinking ahead

You don’t have to wait for a crisis to ask questions. Many families start with a video call, just to understand what’s ahead.

Short reads

Grieving before goodbye

Feeling loss while your pet is still here is common, and it has a name: anticipatory grief. Be gentle with yourself, and make room for the good days you still have.

What to say to a friend

Say their pet’s name. Share a memory. “I’m so sorry, Bailey was lucky to have you” means more than any advice.

Ways to remember them

A memorial page, a paw print on the mantel, a tree planted in their favorite spot, or a walk on their favorite route.

Create a memorial page, light a candle, or read messages from people who loved them too.

Quality-of-life assessment

How is your pet really doing?

Reflect on your pet’s comfort and day-to-day wellbeing, and prepare for a conversation with your veterinarian.

This assessment is provided by Fetcher, a separate service. Loading it connects to app.fetcher.vet and can load resources that are not controlled by your LovingVet font preference.

Open in Fetcher · Fetcher privacy policy

An assessment is not a diagnosis or a substitute for veterinary care. If your pet is struggling to breathe or needs urgent help, contact an emergency veterinarian.
