I agree with you, but as far as cost goes, it shouldn't be a consideration with pets. I do realize that it is though, and pet's never seem to get sick at a convienient time.
Anyways, every clinic that I know of will offer a humane euthanasia without an exam or office visit fee. Many will also do it for free... The goal is to supply what's best for the animal; and taking a deathly ill, suffering pet home because you can't afford to euthanize it is not on any vet's agenda.
Remember though that they will use their judgment. The fees for this service are to pay for expertise, not materials. They can volunteer this service if they need to, but obviously it isn't fair for them to do so if the funds are available, however inconvenient.
Unfortunately, working in an emergency clinic I have a lot of experience on this topic.
