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.Â
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.Â
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.Â
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.

I've had to help many pets over the years cross the rainbow bridge. This is the first time I chose in home euthanasia and it was so peaceful. For me and for my fur baby. It definitely was worth the extra cost to not have to pack him up and drive him to the veterinarian to have his last moments on an exam table. He passed peacefully in my arms as we cuddled on the couch. ❤️ And I cannot recommend Dr Katie Todd enough. I have never met a more empathetic,caring and kind vet. She made his passing less painful for both of us.
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.
Dr. Kristy Thompson provided the highest level of care for our in home pet euthanasia experience. We agonized over this decision and when we finally decided it was time, Dr. Thompson guided us through the process. Our 13 year old Labrador, Honey, had extreme anxiety at the vet, and we knew a trip the physical vet location would provide a stressful final experience for our girl. In the end, she peacefully went to sleep one last time. If you are in the process of this difficult journey, I highly recommend using CodaPet, in particular, Dr. Kristy Thompson.
I highly recommend Dr. Bates and will be referring her to my family and friends. She showed my dog and family compassion and kindness. Does her job like a true professional. Thanks again Dr. Bates.
Dr Jill came to our home, and was wonderful with our dying dog, Parker. As a surprise to me, she was just as wonderful with our other 2 dogs, inviting them to be there and acknowledge his passing, quietly, as a natural thing. Clearly Parker felt at ease, and seemed to understand this as well. We have had many pets thru the years; we'll never go back to the stress of going to a vet's office for their final moments.
Dr. Briell Dzierga was amazing. She made sure that everything went as smooth and easy as possible for the circumstance. She explained the process and how it would take place and helped ease our minds for this difficult decision. She made sure our beloved dog was as comfortable as possible during the whole process as well. I would highly recommend her to anyone faced with this tough situation.
