In-Home Euthanasia of Massachusetts & Rhode Island
Best for Worcester families who want a flat published price, no travel fee, and aquamation instead of flame cremation.
Typical range
from $350
at-home visit
Dr. Christine Maxfield charges a flat $350 for the visit with no travel fee in the Worcester area, which makes this the simplest price in the city. The aftercare is unusual and worth knowing about: aquamation, a water based alternative to flame cremation, at $175 to $200 communal and $175 to $300 individual by weight.
One thing to know: There are no same day or emergency appointments and the practice generally asks for two to three days notice. Visits run Saturday to Thursday, 10am to 5pm, so Friday is out and evenings are not offered.
CodaPet
Best for Worcester families who need more scheduling flexibility than the local practice offers.
Typical range
from $325
at-home visit
The visit starts at $325, the lowest published figure in the city, and Dr. Alexandra Hyman covers Worcester from nearby Millbury along with Oxford and around forty other communities. Cremation is quoted separately from $100 to $375 by weight and type.
One thing to know: The $325 is a starting price rather than a flat fee, so ask what your pet and address come to. Booking runs through the network rather than the veterinarian directly.
Questions Worth Answering Before You Call
Start with when you need it. The local practice asks for two to three days notice and works Saturday to Thursday, 10am to 5pm, with no same day or emergency visits. CodaPet schedules through the network and can sometimes fit you in sooner. If your pet is stable, the flat $350 with no travel fee is the simpler deal.
Decide about the aftercare, because the choice here is unusual. Dr. Maxfield uses aquamation, a water based process that returns about 32 percent more ashes than flame cremation and produces no emissions, at $175 to $200 communal and $175 to $300 individual. CodaPet quotes flame cremation at $100 to $375.
Check the travel fee for your address. The local practice charges nothing in the Worcester area and $50 or $75 further out. CodaPet's veterinarian is based in Millbury and covers about forty communities around the city.
Ask what the visit itself looks like. Both sedate before the injection. Ask how long they stay, whether children or other pets can be present, and who carries your pet afterwards, because those answers matter more on the day than $25 does.
