Peace & Comfort In-Home Pet Euthanasia
Best for families in DC and Maryland who want a dedicated practice with every price published.
Typical range
from $450
at-home visit
Peace & Comfort, with Dr. Meyer and Dr. Bolch, does only in-home euthanasia and publishes its prices: $450 for the visit for pets up to 100 lbs, $605 with communal cremation, and $750 with private cremation for pets up to 44 lbs or $795 up to 100 lbs.

CodaPet
Best for DC-area families who want to see the full price before they book.
Typical range
from $400
at-home visit
CodaPet's Washington visit starts at $400, and the booking page shows your complete cost, including fees, before you confirm. Cremation aftercare is quoted separately from $125.
One thing to know: The $400 is a starting figure: weight, distance and the time you choose can raise it, and aftercare is extra.
Lap of Love
Best for DC-area families who want the most included, on either side of the river.
Typical range
$495 to $525
base price
Lap of Love has two teams here: the District and Maryland team publishes a $525 base and the Northern Virginia and DC team $495. Both include standard travel, sedation first, a clay paw print, a lock of fur and a planning call beforehand.
One thing to know: Travel beyond the standard area can add a fee, and aftercare is extra. In Northern Virginia, call that team directly on (703) 870-5489.
