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.

It took me months to be able to post this without crying... but I am so grateful every day for the care and empathy Dr. Gordon offered to our sweet girl and she prepared for her crossing. She was so patient and understanding with us through our grief during the decision making processes. My Nico baby came back to us in a beautiful black walnut box, her name on the front, as well as a nose print for me to "boop" when I'm missing her too much... We are grateful that we were able to give her her last gift and mercy in the comfort of her home💜

This was my first time experiencing home euthanasia. Dr. Mitchell was absolutely amazing, she was very professional but also had an incredible amount of compassion. My husband and I came to the conclusion that our sweet Banji was no longer having any quality of life after the pain medication was no longer working. We were able to schedule an appointment with Dr. Mitchell the following business day. We were provided a consultation call a day prior to our appointment to discuss how the process would go during the appointment. Dr. Mitchell was very clear about the different stages our pet would go through. She informed us when Banji could still hear and feel us and then when her body was ready to let go. We were also provided an imprint of her paw print before Dr. Mitchell took Banji away to get cremated. My husband and I were also very surprised when Dr. Mitchell reach out to us a few days later for a follow up regarding how we were handling this loss. Dr. Mitchell is an incredibly caring and compassionate vet. It takes a very special person to do this job daily and she is definitely the best person for this. I would highly recommend using this service but Dr. Mitchell specifically if you want someone to treat your pet like they were theirs.

During an incredibly difficult time, I am so grateful for Dr. Karen Duncan and CodaPet. Her kind and patient approach was focused on the most beautiful, and peaceful crossing over the rainbow bridge. We are left with soothing thoughts of our beloved senior cat's last moments. After some sedation was administered, we were able to say goodbye while he was still alert, and our last moments were happy. He was pain free and relaxed. It was peaceful and loving as we helped him cross together. No stress of a ride to the vet, or a scary environment. He was in our arms, in our home with his brother nearby. My biggest fear of his last moment suffering severely or an emergency that could not be de escalated did not happen thanks to the guidance of our vet, and this service. Allowing his litter mate brother the opportunity to see that his pal had moved will help him understand. Thank you for making what could have been a really horrible day, peaceful and spiritually satisfying. Humans should be allowed the same dignity when their time comes. He told us it was time. He was tired. His body could not fight anymore. And we listened. Thankfully we had the best help.

Dr. Dubose was an amazing help during a very difficult time. She was kind, patient and so tender with our boy Jax. We can't recommend her services enough. It was so much less stressful for him to be at home than at an unfamiliar office setting.

We had to put down our 16 year old cat named Rocky. Dr. Ramos came to our house and did an excellent job while being very compassionate. She had great skills in doing the procedure and kept us informed. It was a very peaceful end for our pet. Rocky had a unique personality and we are the better for having had him in our home.

Dr Karen Whala was absolutely wonderful. She was so kind and compassionate. So gentle and loving with our 16 year old kitty. It felt like having a dear friend come to our home and provide comfort during such a difficult time
