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.

We are so thankful that Dr. Murray came to our house on a Sunday. He was compassionate and professional. Our beautiful girl Lucy crossed the Rainbow Bridge with dignity and love.
Dr. Jason Doolittle was great in a time we had to make the tough decision to do an in home pet euthanasia for our sweet boy Rio. He was so sweet and nice to our dog like he was his own. He was sincere in his sympathy for our situation, explained everything to us as to what he would do, and what to expect. We had two additional dogs that we wanted to have say good bye to their brother and he stepped out to allow us that time. He came prepared and while the whole process was quick, he gave us the opportunity several times to take any time we needed to say goodbye before removing our dog. Rio was with my husband and I for 14 years and this was the best way we could help him cross the rainbow bridge. We could not recommend Dr. Doolittle and his services enough.
Dr. Jesse was very kind, incredibly respectful and professional. I was very impressed and so thankful for him at such a difficult and vulnerable time for our family. I highly recommend him if you ever find yourself in this impossible situation. He thought of things we didn't think of and asked permission before taking any steps. He was more available and responsive than even our established veterinarian as well as any other in-home service in the area we had considered. Especially right after a major holiday. The timing of our situation was awful being right at Christmas but he was not only available on short notice but the day after Christmas! Others that came recommend didn't even contact us back for over a week or not at all! Afterwards he hand delivered our Henry's ashes back to us and handled everything, making sure everything was clear when I could barely think straight. We are very grateful. This was very hard and he did everything possible to make it easier on us.
Dr. Lori Thomas is incredibly kind, experienced, and an excellent communicator. She was very gentle and caring towards our dog, and our family through this very difficult moment. She checked in with us and clear explained every part of the process along the way. I would highly recommend an in-home goodbye, rather than in a hospital if possible. It was very peaceful for our dog and a comfortable way for all of us to experience her goodbye. Thank you Dr. Lori ❤️
As a family, we cannot say enough about Dr. Dzierga and the care she provided as she helped our 10‑year‑old Boxer, Swagger, leave his pain from cancer behind. She is compassionate, professional, personable, and genuinely kind. Before the procedure, she reached out by text to ask about any questions or concerns we had. She took the time to talk through our decision, reassure us that we were doing the right thing, and offer thoughtful guidance on how to support our other pup and our family throughout the process. When she arrived at our home, it felt as though she belonged there. In such a short amount of time, she became part of our family. She took time to get to know Swagger and to learn about our bond with him. She spoiled him with love and treats and gently walked us through each step, making an incredibly difficult moment more manageable than we ever expected. Nothing felt rushed. She moved at Swagger’s pace, interacting with him and with us in a calm, comforting way that emphasized the happiness he was still experiencing in those moments. Losing a pet is never easy, and nothing can truly fill the void we feel. But Dr. D made this heartbreaking process as peaceful and compassionate as possible. Her understanding, empathy, and presence meant more to us than we can express.
I highly recommend Codapet for at-home euthanasia. Dr. Silvesti was incredibly gentle and compassionate with our little chihuahua. She made sure he was nurtured and comfortable until the very end, and she also took the time to guide us through saying our goodbyes and creating keepsakes. Her care helped us as a family navigate this difficult moment with love and support.
