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.

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.
This is the second time in six months that we have used CodaPet for in home euthanasia. This time it was our oldest dog Toby who became ill on 12/31/25. We determined on 1/8/26 early in the morning that things were not going to get better and it was time to let him cross to the bridge. I made the appointment online for 10am. I sent a message to Dr. Schmalz that Toby was in pain and if she could get to our house sooner than 10am, we would appreciate that a lot. She responded almost immediately to let me know she would be there around 9am. Dr. Schmalz spent time with us and our dog Toby explaining the process. She was gentle with us and very caring towards Toby and his care. She waited for us to be ready to move forward and she made sure that Toby was absolutely comfortable and not feeling any pain. Dr. Schmalz left us alone with Toby after he had passed to give us and our other two dogs time to spend with him. I really believed this helped our other two dogs. They came up and smelled Toby from about a foot away and then they were able to see us put him on the stretcher and carry him out to the Dr.'s car. I appreciate the service very much. I have had many dogs in my life and it is so much better to have them at home for this part of their journey, then to have them travel to a place they don't necessarily like, and not be relaxed because of the smells there and also with them being on a cold floor or table. I highly recommend using this service and when the time comes for our other dogs, we will give them the same high level of care by using CodaPet. Thank you for your help through this very difficult time for us. Cathy
This was my first time using an in home pet euthenasia service. Dr Taylor Martin was wonderful. She explained step by step what to expect, and when the moment came, my sweet cat passed so peacefully. It eased my mind so much knowing her final moments were at home in her favorite spot.
My fur-baby was in serious condition after being diagnosed with cancer and had two surgeries in less than a week. I chose to let her go and contacted CodaPet...Dr. Ramos. She arrived on time and communicated with me throughout the process, listening to me ramble about the horrible care I received through my Vet Clinic. She was compassionate and treated my girl as if she was her own. I could not have dealt with this loss without her. I would highly recommend her and will use her in the future for the rest of my fur-babies.
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.
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 ❤️
