Frequently Asked Questions

What services do you offer?

Paws at Peace offers in home pet euthanasia services in the comfort of your own home where you pet feels safe and loved. 

We try to keep our prices comparable to other services in the area - but we are consistently cheaper than large in home euthanasia companies.

Why am I being directed to SafeSpaceVet.com to schedule?

Dr. Taro Cuetara (Paws at Peace) and Dr. Kristina Netherwood (Saft Space Vet) have partnered together to keep costs down and to provide exceptional in home end of life services in our local areas. Our service locations and availability vary, so we want to ensure all patients are able to find care that best fits their needs.

What are your business hours?

We are available by appointment only - if you need services urgently please contact your local ER clinic. 

What happens to my pet's remains after euthanasia?

Dr. Cuetara will transport your pet's remains with him in his vehicle after you have said your goodbyes. We work with a pet crematorium called West Coast Pet to offer cremation of your beloved pet. You have the option to have your pet's ashes returned to you (private cremation) or not returned (group cremation). Depending on your city/county code some people may elect to bury their pet at home. If you select private cremation your pet's ashes will be returned. 

Can I select the urn and memorialization for my pet?

Yes - please visit our partner's available memorialization page to see special urns, keepsakes and jewelry options - if you would like to request unique pricing on one of these special items please put in the comment section of the intake form at scheduling or email us.

What payment types do you accept?

At this time, we do not offer payment plans - payment is accepted by STRIPE to book your appointment. Payment is due before or at time of service. We prefer to collect payment prior to your appointment so you can focus on the needs of your pet and family during this difficult time. After you schedule an appointment and fill out the client intake form, we will send you a final invoice through STRIPE and a euthanasia consent form or your can fill this out in person. 

What if I need to cancel my appointment?

We understand that it is hard to make this decision for your pet, we offer free cancellation 12 hours prior to your appointment. If you cancel within 12 hours, we do charge a $100 cancellation fee. Please make sure you contact us to cancel your appointment PRIOR to us showing up at your home, otherwise the full fee ($375) is required and it is considered a QOL assessment. Your vet reserves time in their schedule exclusively for you, so we ask you to cancel as soon as you are able so that your vet may help another family in need.

What is a Quality of Life Assessment?

You have probably heard the term “quality of life” in conversations with your veterinarian or people close to you. Assessing your pet’s quality of life, which is subjective, and highly dependent on your dog or cat’s disease process, their personality, and your personal beliefs, is difficult. But we are here to help you through the process.
