FAQ
How Is Payment Handled?
Once we begin the procedure, we'd really like you to be able to focus on your family and pet. The necessary paperwork and payment arrangements can be emailed or sent via text ahead of time. If you are not particularly tech savvy, we can complete it together upon my arrival. I accept cash, check, and Venmo as preferred payment options but can also accept credit card if necessary.
Do You Treat Exotic Pets?
I currently only treat dogs and cats for home euthanasia service.
Do You Accept Insurance?
Please contact your insurance provider to discuss coverage for services.
Are You Available In My Area?
This will be decided on a case by case basis depending on my availability and the urgency of your appointment.  There is no mileage charge within a 15 mile radius of Clarion. Travel outside of that radius will incur the standard mileage rate. This can be calculated prior to scheduling the visit so that there will be no unanticipated costs.
How Will I Know If It Is Time?
You, the family, will know best.  Here are some things families often take into consideration:  Are there more good days than bad? How is the appetite? Is the pet incontinent? Is the pet still alert/tail wagging/bright? Is he/she still interested in play? Still interested in family's whereabouts? Does the pet still patrol the yard? Still doing other things they enjoy? Standing hunched/painful when moving? Yo​u may want to review the Quality of Life Scale provided under the resources tab of this website.
What If My Pet Is Aggressive?
If your pet is particularly nervous about strangers entering the home, has a history of aggression or you anticipate these kind of difficulties, please communicate clearly with me so that together we can formulate a plan for my visit. Often, we can figure out an approach that will keep us all safe while minimizing fear for your pet.
