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, which is licensed in/for RI residents only. In-home euthanasia is an option for ill, elderly, & easy-to-handle pets.. For safety & liability, euthanasia of aggressive, hard-to-handle pets should be done at veterinary facilities 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 required information, I can give a more accurate estimate for the visit & euthanasia. which is based on drive time from Providence, and pet size, which ranges from $350-$600 (very rarely more). If you also want me to provide care of the body afterwards, private (cremains returned) & communal cremations costs are based on pet weight. Up to 150 pounds, communal cremation costs $130-$360. Private cremation with cremains returned in a complimentary urn costs $350-$550.
Payment by personal check or cash (No credit cards or electronic payments).
For those with financial limitations, I can advise on alternatives.
To request an appointment, text 401 523 6566, or email onthesixthday@icloud.com
PLEASE provide your First & LAST Name, FULL address (street & city). Include an approximate weight if the pet is a dog, or state it's a cat. Once I have this information, I will respond by text/email with a cost estimate & availability. Please do not request a phone call - I need the requested basic information, by text or email in order to give a cost estimate. Inquiries received after 4 pm may not be answered until the next day. (Or longer, if calling on dates listed as not available). Special note: If your pet is currently hospitalized and s you've been told it may only have hours to days, consider NOT bringing home. An ill, dying pet isn't longing to die at home; it won't benefit the other pets, and you may not be able to get a home visit,.
To memorialize pets you’ve lost, consider donating to a charity in their memory. Suggestions are given on the page “After”
