ON THE SIXTH DAY
in-home pet euthanasia for RI residents
Apts are scheduled, between 10 AM & 7 PM - 7 days a week
This is not an emergency or 24-hour service
This website offers general information, insights & resources for anyone contemplating elective humane pet euthanasia, at home, or at a veterinary facility, as well as some specifics about this service.
THE BUSINESS IS NOT LICENSED IN MA OR CT- I can only come to clients in RI.
It is assumed the pet is ill, elderly, and easy to handle. Euthanasia of hard-to-handle, big, strong, or feral, dogs & cats, for safety & liability reasons, should be done at a hospital with adequate personnel.
As the cost of home euthanasia is always more than taking to a clinic/hospital, even an emergency clinic. once I have all the requested info, I can give a more personalized quote for the visit & euthanasia, which is based on drive-time from Providence, & pet size, & ranges from 350 to 600$. If you want me to provide care of the body afterwards, cremation is based on pet weight: for 5 to 200lbs, communal cremation runs 130-360$, private cremation/remains returned in an urn is 350-535$. Payment by personal check, or cash. I don't take credit cards or electronic payments. (For those with financial limitations, I can send advice on alternatives).
After reading through, text 401 523 6566, or email onthesixthday@icloud.com. PLEASE provide your
First & LAST Name, FULL address (street & city). Include if the pet is a cat or dog, and if it's a dog, its approximate weight. Once I have this information, I will respond by text/email with a cost estimate and availability. Please do not request a phone call.
Inquiries received after 4 pm may not be answered until the next day.
Special note: If your pet is currently hospitalized, and you've been told it may only have hours to days - consider NOT bringing it home. An ill, dying pet doesn't consciously accept the discomfort of transport, because they want to "die at home". And, you may not be able to get a home service visit, and have to take back to an emergency clinic.
