Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in Fresno, CA
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.

On the morning of October 31st, 2025, my 19 year old orange cat "Oliver" peacefully passed at home via in-home pet euthanasia. It was a heart-wrenching loss, made even more-so because roughly 2 years prior he suffered a stroke which nearly killed him, and which took two weeks of intensive round the clock care that I administered as I worked from home. He recovered, but that was the first instance when I began to accept that time would eventually win, and so I had been preparing myself since that time to say goodbye to my furry boy. Nonetheless, I am happy to know that I was able to get him "to the finish line" of his life, as cats reaching 19 years isn't unheard of, but also not entirely common place either. He had maximum years and maximum love. Dr. Kristina was absolutely a professional through and through, even being in touch with me for the entire week prior to the day she would arrive to my home to administer the euthanasia, to stay on top of Oliver's status and whether or not he had passed during the night on his own, during the week leading up. Oliver had experienced increasing weight loss, lethargy, and once he started to barely eat and drink, I knew that it was only a matter of a day or two before he would begin to suffer as he passed. Dr. Kristina helped me ensure Oliver received the dignity in death that I tried to give him through his entire life as a living creature, my friend and my companion. She was patient, compassionate, incredibly knowledgeable, communicative, and understanding. She didn't rush us, she talked us through every moment, minute by minute, and she was empathetic. I don't know how the vets at CodaPet do it day in and day out, but I am extremely thankful for them. This was the way that Oliver deserved to depart this life, at home, comfortable, in a safe and familiar place. We could all only be so lucky to received the same departure. I go into 2026 still missing my little friend, but knowing that his was a peaceful, loving and dignified transition, free of pain, worry and stress. For that, I am grateful and even happy that I could provide that last act of mercy and love, and Coda Pet and Dr. Kristina helped make that possible. I thank them for the service they offer, and the manner in which they offer it. I hope this review helps any pet owners nearing that difficult time make the decision to have in-home pet euthanasia a little easier. It is hard no matter what, but in time, you will see that it really was the best way to say goodbye.
Dr Cassandra responded quickly on a Saturday evening, and was very sympathetic. She talked to the children and cares about the feelings of those she are helping.
Dr. Kirsten Stukey made an awful and dreadful experience as comfortable as it could have been! This was our first experience with having to euthanize! Our sweet Molly was 14 and had cancer! Dr. Stukey was so patient and never rushed us! She explained each step and wouldn’t do anything until we were ready! To be at home where our sweet Molly was comfortable was such a blessing! She didn’t have to experience the dreaded drive or vet office that already causes stress and anxiety! If I ever have to go through this again, I will only go this route and would definitely recommend and personally use Dr. Stukey again! Thank you so much for providing this service! It was such a gift to us! 🐾🩷
We are deeply grateful to Peaceful Passing for their exceptional kindness and compassion during one of the most difficult times in our lives. Our beloved dog Annie passed gently and peacefully, thanks to the incredible care provided by Dr. Clem. Dr. Clem's kindness, compassion, and patience were truly remarkable, and we will forever be thankful for her and the entire team at Peaceful Passing. Their support and understanding made a world of difference, and we cannot thank them enough for their help during this emotional time.
Dr. Clem was very kind and compassionate with assisting with my dog Tiffany. She let me take my time in grieving my dog. Dr Clem explained to me the process and what to expect. She treated my do with the upmost care. When my poor sweet Tiffany took her last breath Dr Clem gave me time to grieve. I would highly recommend this service
Dr. Heather has helped us give two of our dogs peaceful passings this year. We only had 6 months in between, and were met both times with kindness and compassion. It’s always hard, but being able to let them pass at home makes it a little easier. Thank you, Dr. Heather!
