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.

Dr Clem was very kind & understanding. The decision I made was extremely difficult and her words of understanding made me feel better.
While this is a review for a service I hoped I would never need, I cannot adequately state how much we appreciated Dr. Josh Williams and his kindness throughout this process. He prioritized Dyson’s comfort above everything, and carefully and thoroughly explained the process to ensure we were prepared. He did not rush the process, but instead treated Dyson and our other pets with so much respect and love. It’s beyond clear that Dr. Josh truly cares about each companion he helps cross to the next part of their journey. Thank you, Dr. Josh. Words cannot express how significant of an impact you had in such an important moment in our lives.
It's so odd to rate a home euthanasia of a beloved pet as "an excellent experience". It's not. It's devastating. This is the second home euthanasia I've had and given the choice, I will always choose this method. Not everyone gets to make this choice and my heart goes out to them. "Why?" you ask. Here we go. 1. The pet is not afraid. They’re in their home environment where everything is familiar and their favorite things are close at hand. 2. You aren’t adding stress by taking a sick animal on a car ride and into a business with other animals and lots of strangers. 3. I could take my time saying goodbye. Nothing was rushed. This process was three injections, with time between for the medication to take effect. Once my dog had passed, I had additional time to pet and cuddle my sweet boy. We put him on the stretcher when I was ready. It wasn’t a long time, but I called the shots. 4. The experience is dignified. I wasn’t a sobbing mess in public. I was a sobbing mess, but I was home. 5. As many support people as you need. I had several friends there for the final moments. I don’t know that I could have done that in a veterinarian’s office. Cost is a factor, so be sure to shop around for a service that lets you add items a-la-carte, rather than pre-charging you for things you may not want or need.
Dr Sarah was incredibly compassionate and tender with our 20+ year old cat, Meadow. This was our second time with at-home pet euthanasia. The experience was very peaceful for Meadow; she was home and on her favorite couch blanket in her final moments, surrounded by love and care. Dr Sarah took the time to ask about Meadow's story, how long we had her, and really connect with us before helping us say goodbye. We'll call CodaPet when our next senior is ready to cross the rainbow bridge.
Dr. Sarah Clem was so nice and respectful. She truly cares about our pets and us. Dr. Clem did and said everything right. She gave us the time to say our goodbyes to our beloved Duke. Dr. Clem explained everything and made us feel very comfortable. She made Duke very comfortable. She brought Duke home very quickly. Dr. Sarah Clem is a wonderful soul and so thankful we made the decision to have her come to our home.
Dr. Sarah was amazing, compassionate and very knowledgeable! She made one of the toughest days a little bit easier with her kind words and empathy towards us! She reassured us every step of the way and gave us all the time we needed with our baby before letting him cross over the rainbow bridge. I would recommend her to anyone going through the same situation and from a pet owners perspective it was a much better experience than we had when we had to put our 1st dog down at a vet's office. Thank you Dr. Sarah ❤️🐾
