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 only wish that I could rate the service higher than five. My 10-year-Old Weimaraner had a lifetime of illnesses due to severe allergies, and had spent a lot of time at the vets’ office. As a result, he developed anxiety every time we enter the building. Just before Christmas, he was diagnosed as being in the final stages of CHF. We watched him rapidly, deteriorate, and knew the time was right for him to finally be at rest. Dr. Goldberg arrived on time, took the time to explain the process, and spoiled our boy with treats and affection. He spent his last hour doing the things he loved most: playing with a tennis ball, eating treats, and being held. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience!
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.
There is no good way to lose a loved friend and companion. We are grateful to have found Dr. Ortman when our AB “Zeke” began to rapidly decline in health due to NCL. Dr. Ortman was professional and empathetic while he provided us with the very best care. He was well organized, prepared, and able to guide us through the euthanasia process. He was gentle and kind to Zeke. Dr. Ortman’s care and expertise enabled Zeke to pass gently and peacefully with the love he deserved. Dr. Ortman also helped us move toward healing by enhancing our understanding of Zeke’s condition. That knowledge gave us comfort in knowing that we made the only decision possible to spare Zeke from further suffering. Not every case is without hope. If your pet is suffering, Dr. Ortman also offers a Quality of Life consultation. I would trust him to provide sound recommendations for any of our pets and I believe you can, as well. God Bless
So very Thankful for Dr. Gordon! We feel very blessed that we got to say goodbye to Our Gypsy girl in the most peaceful way! Gypsy was in her home and surrounded by what she knew and loved. Dr.Gordon and Gypsy became instant friends and I truly believe Gypsy knew she was here to help her. One of the hardest days of our lives, was also a beautiful blessing.
highly recommend this vet. Dr. Roberts was excellent: very patient, caring, thoughtful. She conveyed information each step of the way. Was very respectful of our pet and us. She made a very hard situation easier to bear.
From the very first phone call to scheduling the in home euthanasia till the final hours, the team was so comforting and understanding. When Dr Thomason arrived I was sitting on the front porch with my dog because he loved sitting in the sun. Dr Thomason sat with us allowing my dog to enjoy the warm of the sun. He welcomed her with tons of kisses and she loved on him. She allowed me the time I needed to say good bye. I would highly recommend Coda pet and Dr Thomason.
