Dr. Bates was a compassionate and steady presence during one of the hardest moments our family could face. By coming to our home, she created a peaceful, familiar space where our pet could be surrounded by love and comfort. Her calm guidance, kindness, and respect for both our beloved dog, who had been a cherished part of our family for 14 years, and our family made the experience as gentle as possible. In a moment filled with emotion, Dr. Bates offered dignity, empathy, and genuine care, helping our cherished companion pass peacefully. We will always remember her thoughtful presence and the comfort she brought to our family during this difficult time. Her support helped us find peace and healing as we said goodbye to a beloved member of our family.

Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in Annapolis, MD

Your credit card is required to reserve your appointment. However, no payment is required until the appointment and nothing is due until the appointment is completed

We charge cancellation fee of $100 if an appointment is cancelled less than 4 hours before the start time. If your pet passes away before your appointment you would not be charged a cancellation fee. If the vet you scheduled is able, and you would like their assistance with cremation, then pickup fee would apply instead of euthanasia fee

Other Consideration

If you have a larger pet, your vet may need the help of one friend or family member. Talk to your vet about options and limitations when they reach out to you prior to your appointment, and they will inform you of any extra cost for your situation. 

Options for your pets return home and memorabilia depend on your local provider. Your vet coordinate the return of your pet’s ashes and let you know if there are additional fees for urn delivery. 

Extra time or medications needed can affect the total price. Other factors can be if it is decided that it’s not time to euthanize your pet after the vet has arrive. In that case, only the travel fee, platform fee, and a quality of life consult would apply. 

FAQs

The total cost includes the in-home pet euthanasia service fee, any travel fee (if any apply), and a platform fee. Additionally, depending on your choice, fees may apply for cremation services or keepsakes.

During your appointment, your vet will confirm your aftercare selection with you. If you choose to arrange cremation services, your vet will oversee your pet’s transportation to a local facility for cremation. If your preferred cremation option includes the return of your pet’s ashes to you, your vet will discuss the process to reunite you with your pet's ashes and the anticipated time frame during your appointment

Yes, upon arrival the veterinarian will assess your pet. This can look different than an “nose to tail” examination in a clinic setting and will focus more on the pet’s history and quality of life.

It is not uncommon to have doubts about whether the time is right. If you’ve taken the Quality of Life Questionnaire and are still unsure, we recommend consulting with your family veterinarian before scheduling an appointment.

Rest assured, if you book an appointment, your in-home euthanasia veterinarian will let you know if they do not believe that euthanasia is appropriate at this time.

You can expect your veterinarian to be in your home from 20-60 minutes, depending on how much of that time you need or want throughout the process.

Our beautiful, sweet, much-loved Kitty, contracted a rare, fatal disease which moved through her much faster than planned. As a result, we couldn't wait for our usual home vet to come to the house on Monday as scheduled. I found CodaPet online and, knowing I had minimal choices last minute, I crossed my fingers and scheduled the appointment. I was pleasantly surprised that I could schedule during the evening. Dr. Laurie Noe and her partner, Bill, couldn't have been lovelier, more compassionate, warm and professional. They were amazing and made a very challenging and sad time as tolerable as possible. Kitty passed in a relaxed, pain-free way, in my lap - her favorite place in the world. Dr. Noe offered some little extras like a paw print, a fur shaving, and carried her out in a little basket with a fresh blanket. I highly recommend them. XO

Dr. Megan Lowman was wonderful. Having a pet euthanized is never easy but Dr. Lowman made the process as painless as possible. Would highly recommend.

We had to make the difficult decision of releasing our sweet Maggie from her pain. It was important for us to give her the dignity of a peaceful passing surrounded by the comfort of her home and loved ones. We found CodaPet and the earthly angel, Dr. Delia. We were able to book a same day appointment, the process that CodaPet provides is quick and efficient which is so important when trying to navigate such strong sadness. Dr. Delia communicated with us prior the appointment, arrived on time and treated our Maggie with the utmost care, compassion, and tenderness. She discussed the euthanasia process in great detail but with empathy and gave us such grace and support answering our questions with patience. The process allowed for us to have time with Maggie before and after and we never felt rushed. We know that our sweet girl was cared for with respect and continued dignity after she left our home. I can't recommend this service enough if you find yourself in a position of making this hard decision in the future. CodaPet was there when we needed support and guidance and we are forever grateful.

Dr Hundley was so compassionate, even on our first phone call. She came into our home quietly and with nothing but respect. The process was painless and peaceful. Dr. Huntley included our other pup, Maggie. Maggie and Gigi had been a closely bonded pair. Everyone had time to say goodbye lovingly and peacefully. Thank you so very much.

To say Dr Dash is an angel would be heavily understated. There aren’t enough words to express how genuinely kind Dr Dash was with not only my sweet angel, but also with me. I never want to recommend sending your baby over the rainbow bridge to anyone, as this was actually one of, if not THE, worst days of my life, but if you’re able to choose, please pick Dr Dash. Her kindness extends to great lengths, and I hope nothing but the best for her in her endeavors. She communicates well, holds no judgement, and exercises patience and empathy in ways I’ll never truly understand. Thank you, Dr. Dash, and thank you Coda Pet for being so readily available on short notice. Charlie sleeps peacefully now.
