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 this information, I will text/email a cost estimate & availability. The phone number is a recording/screening message, and is not checked frequently. Please don't ask / expect a call back....if you do LMOM, include a text-able phone # but also text or email, as I will attempt to respond to that by text but recording can be poor, may not be deliverable. Unless it's a date noted as not available (above) generally I will respond to texts or emails the same day0but- 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$. Body care by cremation is based on pet weight: for 5 to 200lbs, communal cremation runs 130-360$, private cremation with remains returned in a complimentary 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 -reconsider "putting them thru" bringing them home.
As a timely and thoughtful tribute to pets you have lost, consider making a donation in their name. On this website under, "After" are suggestions of highly rated charities, or check under Charity Navigator.
