striving to keep the visit calm, peaceful and respectful
for the pets and for the people who love them.

Scheduling
I visit homes 4 days a week
Appointments are available
Monday & Tuesday
Friday & Saturday
(closed on Wednesday, Thursday, Sunday & holidays)
Families often get in touch to book a few days in advance.
Booking is available online, by phone call/text, or by email.
If we do have an appointment booked ahead of time and then it's just not the right day, I am fine with cancellations. There is no cancellation fee.
Fees: Payment is respectfully requested at the time of service.
My smartphone can accept Debit cards and credit cards; cash and e transfer are fine as well.
Peaceful home euthanasia: $335 + gst
The fee for an at-home euthanasia includes the housecall fee and the euthanasia.
Aftercare (optional)
Your pet can come home with me. I will arrange the aftercare (cremation) of your choice.
I carry a stretcher with me.
For a large pet, I'll need one person to help me transport to my car.
The fee for aftercare varies by size of the pet, and the service chosen.
For general cremation (no ashes returned)
the fees are:
Cat: $50
Small dog: $100
Medium dog: $150
Large dog: $200
X-large dog: $250
GST applies to the total
If an individual cremation is chosen,
with the pet handled separately from any others
and the ashes delivered home in about a week,
The individual aftercare fee would be:
The general cremation price plus $150.
GST applies to the total.
