How to Save Money at Peace & Comfort In-Home Pet Euthanasia
Schedule Regular Vet Visits
One of the best ways to save on vet bills is to prevent expensive health issues before they develop. By scheduling regular wellness checkups, your vet can detect health issues early, helping you to avoid costly treatments and surgeries down the road.
Price Shop for Pet Prescriptions
Oftentimes our fur babies are prescribed human drugs off-label. Your vet is apt to charge more for these medications than you would pay at your local pharmacy. In fact, big-box or chain pharmacies can offer steep discounts. So it’s best to price shop.
Pet Insurance
Most pet insurance providers will pay between 80% and 90% of the vet bill. You can even get coverage for routine care and things like vaccinations and dental cleanings. If you do the math, you’ll most likely find that pet insurance makes financial sense in the long run as well as gives you peace of mind.

Get Quotes & CompareGetting to Know Your New Vet: Essential Questions to Ask
Choosing a new veterinarian is an important decision for any pet owner. You want to find someone who is competent, compassionate, and a good fit for you and your fur baby. To help you get the most out of your first appointment, here's a list of essential questions to ask your new vet:
Tell me about your experience with [pet type].
Different vets have different areas of specialization. Some are experts with cats, some dogs, some pocket pets, and some horses. Knowing that your vet has vast experience treating your specific type of pet can bring you peace of mind.
How do you handle emergencies?
You must know what to do in case of a pet medical emergency. Inquire what after-hours policy the clinic has, whether they have on-site emergency care available, and if they have a relationship with any nearby emergency animal hospitals.
How do you communicate with pet owners?
Good communication is key to building a trusting relationship with your vet. Ask how they prefer to communicate (phone calls, emails, online portal) and how often you can expect to hear from them.
Are there any breed-specific health concerns I should be aware of?
Some breeds are predisposed to certain health conditions. Knowing what to watch out for can help you catch problems early and get your pet the treatment they need.
Do you have any questions for me about my pet?
This is a great question to ask because the answer will show that the vet is interested in getting to know your pet as an individual and is willing to listen to your concerns.
Bonus question: Can I take a tour of your facility?
Getting a feel for the clinic's environment can help you and your pet feel more comfortable during your visits. Remember, you’re not just looking for a veterinarian, you’re looking for a partnership. Do not be afraid to ask these questions and any others you can think of. Any vet worth their salt will be happy to answer them. Because the more informed you are, the better equipped you'll be to make decisions about your pet's care! And that should be every vet’s top priority.
Reviews from Google
I'd like to echo everything that has been already posted by other peoples reviews. We had Dr. Kathy Meyer and she was the best. Everything was done at the house and there was absolutely zero stress on our 14 year old german shepherd mix. He had his turkey and just drifted off to sleep. If only we as humans could be so lucky. I'd opt for the ribeye myself 🙂 And because Dr. Meyer only does maybe one or two appointments a day, she lets you take as long as you want. No pressure at any point that we had move things along because she had somewhere she needed to be.

When we had to say goodbye to our beloved dog, Dr. Bolch made an unbearable experience beautiful and peaceful. Our goodbye felt meaningful and we loved that Moose will rest in an apple orchard as part of communal cremation. Dr. Bolch and Dr. Meyer were also very helpful in advance, helping us schedule and preparing us for what would happen. They also followed up with grief resources. We recommend them whole heartedly and are very grateful for their care.

Our 18 yo cat was doing terribly, and we knew (so did our emergency care vet) we only had one solution: serene, comfortable euthanasia at home, where her highness reigned supreme. We reached out to Peace & Comfort and they had a slot available that day. Great (sniff)! At the appointed hour, Becky came in and gave us a detailed run-down on what the procedure entailed, and gave us space to say goodbye. We held her through the process and our dear friend passed away peacefully. She (Dr. Bloch) was more soothing and empathetic than I expected, she knew what our cat meant to us for almost two decades, and her professionalism and sympathy was, to put it mildly, outstanding. I could not possibly recommend Peace & Comfort enough. Their care had both in spades! Thank you for such a compassionate farewell.

Peace and Comfort provided such a caring, calm, loving in-home experience that we cannot not say enough about their kindness. Dr. Kathy Meyer was our assisted vet. She took her time. Explained every moment. And primarily made sure our sweet dog Tulip was in no pain and remained happy until the last moment. We were able to read our goodbyes before she passed. I can’t thank them enough for their palliative services of our beloved pet.

The previous reviews describe our experience so beautifully. Dr. Becky was so comforting to our cat, Mia, and to us. When you have to experience end of life for your pet you can't ask for a better, kinder person to go through this with you. Dr. Becky, thank you.
