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 Noe was extremely helpful and gentle with our pet. She kept in communication prior to our appointment, answering questions we had. She was sensitive throughout the whole process and we deeply appreciated the kindness, caring and complete professionalism.

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!!

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!!

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.

If I could give 10 stars I would. I have the highest praise for Dr. Sarah and CodaPet. Dr Sarah was compassionate, accommodating and gentle with our precious cat Sugar. Words cannot express our deep gratitude for how kind Dr. Sarah was. Sugar passed quietly in peace. Her suffering is over. Thank you, Dr. Sarah.

I just called to ask for some help. Whom ever answered seemed confused. She asked me if I had a dog or a cat. I said a dog. Then she asked me how much the cat weighed. I let that slid and repeat. Oh no. This is a dog. I then proceed to inform her my puppy was abandoned and wanted to get him into a vet. She then says " you mentioned having a a vet?" Oh okay. Nvm. So idk if this is a one time occurrence or what. I won't be using this service again. Thank you.

We are forever thankful for this amazing group’s services. We have used CodaPet in the past, and as we knew it was our sweet girl’s time to move on we chose to book again. Roux passed on her own before Dr. Orth’s scheduled time (later at night the night before). When I canceled the appointment via the website, she reached out by text to ask if we wanted her to send out her husband to pick her up and contribute with the cremation as I had originally booked. He did this late at night, and was kind, calm and caring despite our house being in shock and experiencing unbelievable grief. Roux was returned to us today, with the same caring and attention to our feelings. There were even small rocks painted for us in her honor. Losing these dogs is so painful, but having the gift of helping them leave us with dignity and grace and love is more than we could ask for. CodaPet’s doctors and their family members who assist in the process are angels on earth.

She was very kind and understanding. Did not rush me. Gave me time to say goodbye. Explained everything she was doing. Treated my pet with kindness and respect. When she left took my baby with her in a pretty basket. She just looked like she was sleeping and at peace. My last moments and memories are good thanks to Dr. Mashawn.
