Final Journey is an at-home pet euthanasia service that brings comfort and peace to loving families during a sensitive and challenging time. We handle the entire end-of-life process for pets from helping pet-owners understand if the time is right to guiding them through the stages of grief. We don't want pet parents worrying about the burden of logistics while going through the difficulty of losing a loved one. We understand that everyone wants their companion’s last moments to be as comfortable and stress-free as possible for themselves and their pet. Final Journey is committed to providing a gentle, peaceful transition for your animal companion. Some facts that set us apart:

*We always have our team come to the home so you and your loved ones need not help unless that's your wish.
*We take time with you and your family to create a loving, peaceful space; there is no rushing out the door.
*We return ashes personally, not through the mail.

The cost will be based on the size of the individual and cremation options chosen by you.

PLEASE NOTE: While Final Journey provides convenience, compassion, and care, it is not available for reasons of convenience euthanasia (i.e. people moving and cannot take their pets with them). We reserve the right to decline services.

PLEASE NOTE: if this is a medical emergency, you should contact your local animal hospital or dial 911.

Losing Kiwi was one of the most difficult things I’ve ever had to go through in life. She was my emotional support companion & she was with me during the most difficult years of my life. We used the services of Final Journey over 6 years ago for our sweet boy Titan, and I knew that these were the people I needed to call on again for my sweet Frenchie Kiwi. Not only did I want Kiwi to be home where she would be happy and most comfortable, but also because I’m mostly bedridden & wanted to be with her in her final moments. The experience with Final Journey from the very first call, to the final return of my sweet girl, was everything I could have hoped for and more. The complete Final Journey staff, Dr. Kris & Kevin are truly amazing, caring, compassionate individuals. Their soft calming voices, gentle loving touches and overall care was beautiful. They gently explained each step of the process and that was very helpful for me because I have a lot of anxiety. They gave me the extra time I needed with Kiwi before, during & after the process, there was no pressure, no rush. They went above and beyond in every way. I will be forever grateful for everything they did for Kiwi & I. Having to go through this process is an extremely painful time for everyone involved. The best thing we can do for our companions and ourselves is being in our peaceful place, our home, where everyone feels comfortable, loved, and relaxed. I highly recommend Final Journey, they truly care for the families & their companions. You can immediately feel their love, compassion, and kindness in everything they do. Thank you to everyone at Final Journey for EVERYTHING you have done for Kiwi & I. For going above and beyond and helping me in my physical condition, so I could hold Kiwi until the very end. I couldn’t have done it without you. Bless you all! - August 2025 - Orange, CT

My Dantino, my year old Frenchie was ill, and this was the best for both of us. They were amazing, kind, and compassionate. I highly recommend Final Journey.

- Anna M

During one of the hardest moments, Kevin and Sabina showed us an incredible amount of compassion and care. Putting our dog down was heartbreaking, but they made the experience as peaceful and gentle as it could possibly be. They were so kind, patient, and genuinely caring, explaining everything with empathy and never rushing us. Their warmth and sweetness brought comfort during a time filled with grief, and we will forever be grateful for the love and respect they showed our beloved dog and our family. Kevin and Dr. Sarina are truly amazing, and we cannot thank them enough for their support and kindness.

💙 Compassionate In-Home Pet Euthanasia in Monroe, CT by Kris Klie

When the time comes to say goodbye, where it happens matters. In-home pet euthanasia allows your dog or cat to remain in a familiar, loving environment, surrounded by the sights, smells, and people they know. Kris Klie provides compassionate veterinary end-of-life care in the comfort of your home, giving your family a more personal setting for this difficult moment.


Kris Klie provides in-home pet euthanasia in Monroe, CT, serving pet parents throughout Fairfield County and surrounding communities, including Danbury, Bridgeport, Stamford, Norwalk, Waterbury, New Haven, Milford, Westport, Shelton, Stratford. Each visit is approached with compassion, patience, and respect for your pet and your family's wishes.



🩺 What Is In-Home Pet Euthanasia?

In-home pet euthanasia is a veterinary service in which a veterinarian travels to your home to help your pet pass peacefully in familiar surroundings. Rather than making a potentially stressful trip to a veterinary clinic, your companion can remain in a place where they feel comfortable.


Many families consider at-home pet euthanasia when a pet is experiencing declining health, age-related changes, serious illness, or a diminished quality of life. A veterinarian can discuss your pet's condition, answer questions, and help you understand whether euthanasia is an appropriate option.



💙 What Should I Expect During Kris Klie's Visit?

When Kris Klie arrives, they will take time to meet you and your pet, answer your questions, and explain the procedure before anything begins. You can discuss your preferences, ask about medications, and understand what to expect throughout the visit.


Many in-home pet euthanasia appointments involve several stages. First, the veterinarian may administer a sedative to help your pet relax and become comfortable. The timing and effects vary depending on the animal and the medications used.


Once your pet is sufficiently relaxed, the veterinarian administers the euthanasia medication according to their veterinary protocol. The veterinarian will explain the procedure and what you may observe. Afterward, they confirm your pet has passed and give your family time to say goodbye.


You may be able to hold your pet, have family members present, or simply sit quietly together, depending on your preferences and the veterinarian's arrangements. Ask Kris Klie about the appointment process if you would like to understand each step in advance.



🏡 Why Choose At-Home Pet Euthanasia?

For many families, having a veterinarian come to their home offers a more comfortable alternative to traveling to a clinic. Potential benefits include:


Familiar surroundings: Your pet can remain in a place they know, such as a favorite bed, room, or outdoor resting spot.


Less travel-related stress: Avoid transporting a pet who may be elderly, weak, uncomfortable, or anxious.


Family time: Your family may have more flexibility to be present and say goodbye in a private setting.


Personal attention: You can discuss your pet's needs and your preferences directly with the veterinarian.


Every pet and family is different. Kris Klie can help explain whether an in-home appointment is appropriate for your companion.



🐾 In-Home Euthanasia for Dogs, Cats, and Other Pets

Many mobile veterinarians provide at-home euthanasia for dogs and cats. Some also offer services for other companion animals, such as rabbits, birds, guinea pigs, and ferrets. Availability depends on the veterinarian's training, experience, and service offerings.


Contact Kris Klie to confirm which animals they serve and whether they can accommodate your pet's individual medical needs.

Some providers also offer memorial keepsakes, such as paw prints or fur clippings. Ask which options are available, what they cost, and whether arrangements are handled directly by the veterinarian or through a separate aftercare provider.



💲 In-Home Pet Euthanasia Pricing

The cost of in-home pet euthanasia varies depending on the veterinarian, location, travel distance, appointment timing, and services included. Aftercare options, such as private cremation or memorial keepsakes, may involve additional charges.
