I don't know anyone in this area, but just wanted to say I'm so sorry.

When the vet comes to the home, they also arrange for cremation. They take care of everything.

OP, are you sure you want to do it at home? I understand why, but at the same time, the vets office can arrange for cremation services or whatever else you might need. Just a thought.

And forgot to say - I'm so sorry. Agreed, losing a pet can be very much harder than you expect.

I think this is easier to set up (though harder to endure) if you book ahead. We just called our regular vet practice, and they set us up for a couple of days ahead. It was hard to wait, but our cat wasn't suffering greatly so it worked fine.

Doing it at home is SO much easier.

OP- thank you for the resources. Thank you for the kind words. This is really a lot harder to do than I was expecting. Thanks again.

I have heard very good things about this service, but don't know their regular hours. So very sorry about your dog.

Try Wholistic Paws - Dr Kristi Erwin. She's in VA.

Meant "your" instead of "you're"

I'm in Maryland, so I don't know someone specifically in your area (although I do know of a vet in Maryland who makes house calls, but she's located too far away). But if you need someone to do it today, you're best option is to call a 24 hour vet emergency hospital and ask them if they have (a) any vets on staff that will come to your house or (b) know of any vets who have a home practice.

I hope you're able to find someone. And I'm sorry for your loss.

I am looking for a mobile vet to come to my home to euthanize my dog. I have looked on line and no one is open on Sunday (in Fairfax). She is 14 1/2 years old and the time has come. Does anyone know of a mobile vet I can contact? Thanks.
