My recent experience was with Dr. Orth. This is the first time I met her. I had contacted Codapet and she responded. She was compassionate, passionate and comforting. I have been trying to obtain her contact information to thank her personally. My regular vet is Dr. Clem, Who is part of Codapet but was unavailable. Dr. Clem is the greatest.

Dr. Loweth was amazing! She made the whole process comfortable for our dog and our family. She was very respectful and gave us time to say our goodbyes in private, and allowed us to walk our dog to the car to send him off. She took great care of our dog, and I couldn't ask for anything better. Thank you Dr. Loweth for everything, and for taking such great care of Dexter for us!

Dr. Tovar handled our beloved Brooklyn in a very professional way. Prepared us by explaining step by step of how the procedure would be. She sat with us as we shared stories among our family. She really made it peaceful and handled her with care. I would highly recommend her to anyone when it becomes time to lay your pet to rest. She is very caring!!

Dr. Orth was wonderful to come at such late notice to help my Lucy girl pass. This is my second time using Coda Pet in 7 months :( I am so grateful that they were both able to be at home, on my lap, in their favorite chair, at peace. Dr. Orth was also very helpful with the follow-up and picking up Lucy's ashes. Thank you, thank YOU!!

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.

Our experience with Dr. Angela De Villa was exceptional. Not only was she extremely supportive and compassionate, her skills made our Vinnie’s last moments comfortable and painless. She asked questions about our Vinnie and seemed genuinely interested in who he was. After Vinnie passed on she took exceptional care of his body making a beautiful area in the back of her car. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If I ever have to go through this again I will definitely reach out to Dr.De Villa.

Dr. Sarah Clem profile picture

The decision to say good-bye to a pet is never easy. When the time came for my Rosie kitty, I chose in home pet euthanasia and found CodaPet. As hard and heartbreaking as the time was, having it done at home was so peaceful. Dr. Murray was comforting and helpful during the whole process, even paying attention to my dog who was trying to get attention. I think having it done at home even helped my dog to understand (in the way he can). I highly recommend choosing in home pet euthanasia if you are able to do so, and CodaPet to help you through the process.

Review by Mary Beth Updike

We’ve both been through this many times. Each of our pups and one cat have all had their own personalities and we’ve loved them like they were our kids. (Yes, we’re the DINK couple that, when new parents would tell cute stories about their progeny, we’d respond by showing some of the thousand pics of Bingo on our phones. But with pups, a hundred thousand hours of happiness will always end in a few, tremendously sad hours. I know the story’s end from “Chapter 1; The Adoption”. That’s why I need to say this; there are super special people in this world who perform the task. In the past, we’ve gone to the vet’s office which was fine in its way but then we learned of veterinarians who come into your home. We’ve done this twice now and despite how much we like and respect our vets the kindness, compassion, sympathy and professionalism of the traveling vets has been overwhelming. They’ve laughed and cried with us. They’ve made paw prints. They listened and assured us we were making the right decision. So a huge THANKS to Dr. Jessica Mumm with Coda Pet who guided Waffles to the Rainbow Bridge yesterday. Waffles, say hi to Meka. I know you two are goofing off and having an exciting and pain-free reunion. Meka, introduce Waffles to Bob and Finnigan and Bingo. Have fun. Eat tasty stuff and bark at squirrels. We’ll see you all when it’s our time.

Dr. Clem was great during such a rough time for our family. She was very professional and patient with us. Because of Dr. Clem, our pet was able to leave us in such a peaceful manner surrounded by loved ones and on his favorite pillow. Thanks Dr. Clem.
