This website offers general information, insights & resources for anyone contemplating elective humane pet euthanasia as well as some specifics about this service. After reading thru, for appointment requests & more information, 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 a dog, its approximate weight. Once given these 3 - 4 facts, I will text/email a cost estimate and availability. You can call 401-523-6566 & leave that information, but please don't ask/expect a call back.
I will respond by text, to the number, & only if the system notifies me it's undeliverable, will I call, when I can. Inquiries received after 4 pm may not be answered until the next day.
THE BUSINESS IS NOT LICENCED 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.
The range of fees which follow, are given to speed the process for owners, as the costs of home euthanasia are always more than taking to a clinic/hospital-even an emergency clinic. Once I have all the requested info, I will quote the fee for the visit, & euthanasia, which is based on drive-time from Providence, & pet size, & ranges from 350-600$. Body care by cremation is based on pet weight: for 5 to 200lbs, communal cremation runs 130-360$, and private cremation/remains returned in an urn is 350-535$—payment by check, or cash. I don't take credit cards or electronic payments.
(For those with financial limitations, I can send advice on alternatives).
Special note: If your pet is currently hospitalized, you've been told it may only have hours to days -there are almost no justifications to "put them thru' bringing home. They are not thinking "I want to die at home".
