Euthanasia Pricing

The charge for a home euthanasia with Journey’s End is on the chart below. This pricing covers a radius of 15 miles around my home base, using Google maps. For your calculations, please use 178 Baboosic Lake Rd., Merrimack, NH 03054 as the starting point. We will travel 45 minutes each way from the starting point, though slightly longer distances may be considered, time permitting. Please add $20 for each additional 5 miles for time and gas.

The basic charge includes the home visit by Dr. Sernik, sedation, the actual euthanasia, biohazard disposal of the needles, an ink paw print on a sympathy card, extra ink prints, and a clay paw print. PLEASE NOTE: The euthanasia prices are based on the pet’s HEAVIEST weight. For example, if your pet weighed 55 lbs and now weighs 45, the drugs used will be for a 55 lb. dog. It is important to use enough sedation and euthanasia drugs to make the process peaceful, painless, and effective for your special friend. Aftercare prices are based on the pet’s CURRENT weight.

The charges for aftercare depend on your choice. You can bury your pet at home at no charge. Options offered by Journey’s End include communal cremation (more than one pet cremated together), and private cremation(only your pet in the crematory, with ashes returned to you in a nice urn). There is a choice of one of five urns included in the private cremation price. You can either opt for the UPS signature required service to return the Ashes, which will cost $25 as charged by Final Gift, or you can personally collect them from Journey’s End in Merrimack.

Please note that there may be an emergency fee of $50-$100 at Dr. Sernik’s discretion for evening visits, early mornings, weekends, holidays, or emergencies that require moving other appointments to accommodate your pet.

End-of-Life Visits

These are NOT required before a euthanasia. These visits are for people who want to assess their pet’s quality of life, & are not yet ready to say goodbye. The goal is pain control and palliative care.

The basic charge is $440 credit/$420 cash or check for the initial one-hour in-home consultation within 15 miles of 178 Baboosic Lake Road, Merrimack, NH. Please add $20 for each additional 5 miles or fraction thereof. This entitles you to not only the in-home consult, but ongoing care through e-mail contact, texting, & short phone calls. Recheck exams will be shorter and less expensive ($200).
