Perth Vet Care provides comprehensive end-of-life care, including in-home pet euthanasia, cremation, home collection (after a natural death), and even pet burials. The cost of each of these services is outlined below.
Pet Euthanasia Costs
The cost of pet euthanasia at home is based on the weight of your pet. All of the costs shown below include the administration of a calming pre-euthanasia sedative, given to your pet to ease stress and discomfort.
This service is available 7 days a week from 9am-7pm.
Please note that a $55 surcharge applies for appointments on Sundays and public holidays (in addition to the charges shown below).
What sets our pricing apart?
- Pre-euthanasia sedation – included at no extra cost.
- No travel fees – for all Perth metropolitan suburbs from Two Rocks to Mandurah.
- Complimentary pet transport – if you are having your pet cremated with us, our vet can transport your pet to the crematorium following your home euthanasia appointment at no extra charge (this is for transport only, cremation charges still apply, see the cremation section below).

1. Individual Cremation
Choose this option if you would like your pet’s ashes returned to you.

- Only your pet’s ashes will be returned, guaranteed.
- Delivery of your pet’s ashes back to your home.
- Basic standard ash vessel is included, or you can choose from our range of premium urns.
- Remembrance candle.

Ashes are usually available for delivery in 7-10 days.
2. Communal Cremation
Choose this option if you would like us to take your pet away* but do not require their ashes to be returned.
- Communal cremation.
- No ashes returned.
- Scattering of your pet’s ashes instead at the scenic pet cemetery in the Avon Valley.
*Transportation to the crematorium for your pet following in-home euthanasia is free (the cremation fee still applies). If your pet has passed away naturally at home, then a home collection fee (listed below) applies in addition to the cremation fees shown.
3. No Aftercare Required: No Fee
Choose this option if you are wishing to keep your pet to bury at home or if you have made alternative aftercare arrangements yourself.
