The Good Life for Pets
Best for Tacoma families who want a local team devoted to end-of-life care and every price published.
Typical range
$400 to $450
weekday or weekend visit
Dr. Claudia Hite, who spent years in Tacoma emergency medicine, founded The Good Life in 2014 and now works with Dr. Christa Lloyd and Dr. David Goetz. A home visit is $400 on weekdays and $450 at weekends, and cremation is published too: $250 for a pet under 50 pounds or $300 for 50 to 100 pounds with the ashes returned in a wooden urn.
One thing to know: Dogs over 100 pounds cost more, and homes outside Tacoma, Fircrest, University Place, Lakewood and Steilacoom pay a travel fee.
Pet Loss at Home
Best for families who want the visit and cremation priced together.
Typical range
$400 to $550
without cremation
Dr. Sandra Coon covers Tacoma and Olympia for Pet Loss at Home and publishes all-in packages: $400 to $550 for the visit alone, $500 to $750 with group cremation and $700 to $900 with private cremation and the ashes returned.
One thing to know: The ranges are wide, so ask where your address and pet's size fall before booking.
Pawprints In-Home Pet Euthanasia
Worth a call for families in the north and east of Pierce County who prefer to text.
Typical range
$530 to $605
by location
Dr. Allie runs a family practice from Covington that covers Lynnwood to Tacoma and publishes every fee: $530 to $605 for the visit by location, and private cremation at $370 for 21 to 45 pounds or $400 for 46 to 75 pounds.
One thing to know: It is the most expensive of the three, adds $200 after 5pm and $100 at weekends, and has no receptionist, so texting is the quickest way to reach Dr. Allie.
