About Vet
Dr. Danielle Hundley has dedicated her life to supporting pets and their families through every stage of their journey together. A native of Eastern Iowa, she earned both her undergraduate and Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degrees from Iowa State University, completing her DVM in 2013. After veterinary school, she pursued advanced training at Purdue University in Emergency and Critical Care Medicine. Following six years of practice in Omaha, Dr. Hundley returned to the Cedar Rapids Corridor in 2024 with her family to serve the community she proudly calls home. From an early age, Dr. Hundley felt a profound connection to animals and a desire to care for them. This passion inspired her to offer in-home euthanasia services, providing pets with a peaceful and dignified passing in the comfort of their home, surrounded by their loved ones. She believes this compassionate approach honors the unique bond we share with our pets and offers families a serene way to say goodbye. Outside of her professional life, Dr. Hundley enjoys spending time with her family, traveling, crafting, listening to audiobooks, and baking. She shares her home with two beloved dogs: Cash, a 12-year-old English Labrador Retriever, and Roxy, a spirited mixed breed. Dr. Hundley’s warmth and dedication ensure that every family she serves feels supported during life’s most difficult moments.

Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in Cedar Rapids, IA

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. 

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. 

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. 

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 HIGHLY RECOMMEND this service to anyone who needs to put their fur baby to rest. Dr. Briell Dzierga was amazing with my family, and especially the little kids. She is an amazing person with a good heart.

Dr.Devlin was wonderful. Putting our Bella to sleep was the hardest decision we had to make and knew it was time. He was very compassionate and gentle with our baby and made it easier for all of us. Thank you!

Using CodaPet was the absolute best experience. They got to us so quickly and it was such a peaceful experience. Highly recommend Dr White - we've got another sick dog and will definitely be using her and this service again. I can't say enough good things about it - you won't be disappointed.

My family and I had to make the hardest decision of a lifetime, not just for one but two fur babies at the same time, Daisy (15) and Guiness (14). As much as we wanted them to live for a thousand years, their health was declining rapidly. Dr Christina Veron was our earth angel and was there every step of the way! She was very patient and supportive and explained every step of the process to help our fur babies cross over the rainbow bridge. She is one of the most caring veterinarians we have ever met. We can't Thank Dr. Christina enough for everything. Our family may feel a little empty but we are at peace. Thank you for all the love and support at this difficult time.

Dr. Mumm was compassionate, caring, and kind throughout our difficult time of saying goodbye to our elderly Bella. We could not have asked for a more peaceful experience both for Bella and for us.
