When a home visit may fit

A home visit may suit a dog with limited mobility, clinic anxiety or greater comfort in familiar surroundings. Before booking, we discuss diagnoses, medication, weight, mobility, breathing, any bite incident and whether care can be provided safely at home.

Deep anaesthesia before euthanasia

Deep anaesthesia with full loss of consciousness precedes euthanasia. Sometimes sedation progresses directly to anaesthesia; sometimes another route is chosen, such as an intravenous catheter. The protocol is adapted to the dog’s condition.

Time, price and availability

Three packages offer the same veterinary care: Home farewell at ₪1,800, with the family arranging aftercare; Complete farewell at ₪2,600, including collection and communal burial; or Farewell and remembrance at ₪4,800, including collection and a choice of private burial in an individual gravesite or individual cremation with an urn and return of the ashes (usually within three days for cremation). All prices include VAT.

No travel supplement applies in central Israel, the Sharon or the Shfela. Extended travel, including the Haifa and the Krayot, Jerusalem, Beit Shemesh, Tiberias and Be’er Sheva areas, adds ₪400, confirmed by town in advance. Outside Sunday–Thursday 09:00–18:00, on weekends or holidays: one ₪400 supplement even when conditions overlap. Special preparation for severe aggression that prevents safe approach without advance medication and safety planning: ₪900. Fear, barking or growling alone do not incur this supplement; routine sedation is included. Each supplement applies once per visit; different supplements can combine. All include VAT and are subject to availability and an agreed final total.

After the goodbye

For packages including collection and communal burial, private burial or individual cremation, coordination and payment are handled through Prida BeAhava. A trusted partner performs collection and aftercare; the veterinarian does not personally transport or store remains. Collection timing is agreed in advance. Private burial in an individual gravesite is an alternative to cremation within the ₪4,800 package. For exceptional weight or addresses, any additional partner charge and the final total are confirmed before booking.
