Pet Loss Support

Making the decision to say goodbye to a beloved pet is never easy. Dr. Maxfield offers compassionate support and guidance through pet loss consultations. Whether you have questions about quality of life, treatment options, or knowing when the time is right, Dr. Maxfield is here to help.
Consultations are available by phone or video call and provide a safe space to discuss your concerns and explore your options.
To schedule a 30-minute consultation ($100, payable in advance), please contact us. Consultations are typically held in the evenings to allow for ample discussion time.

Payment Options

For your convenience, we accept cash, checks, and major credit cards.
• Checks should be made payable to Christine Maxfield.
• Credit card payments are processed securely through Square.


Please note: We do not accept CareCredit or other payment services. 
A $25 fee will be applied for any returned checks. 
Payment is due at the time of the appointment. Any payment later than 14 days will incur a late charge.

Euthanasia

Saying goodbye to a beloved pet is never easy. Choosing in-home euthanasia allows your cat or dog to experience a peaceful passing in the comfort of their familiar surroundings, surrounded by the love of their family.
The fee for in-home pet euthanasia is $350, plus travel and cremation charges (if applicable).

Pet Cremation Services

We understand that honoring your pet's memory is important. To help with this process, we offer pet cremation services through our trusted partner, Forget-Me-Not Pet Crematory in Northborough, MA. 

They offer two options:
Group Cremation: Your pet is cremated with other animals, and their ashes are not returned. This option is generally more affordable.
Private Cremation: Your pet is cremated individually, and their ashes are returned to you in an urn.

Dr. Maxfield can discuss these options with you in more detail to help you choose the best one for your needs.
Important Note: Please be aware that assistance with carrying large dogs (over 25 lbs) to the car for transport to the crematory may be limited. If you choose to have Dr. Maxfield transport your pet, please ensure you can assist with carrying your dog to her vehicle.
