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. 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.

Words cannot convey the depth of our gratitude to Dr. Elizabeth Parks for her compassion, kindness, and support in helping us say goodbye to our sweet 16 year old kitty, Sheba. Her gift of comforting words and her caring empathy in hearing our stories made our kitty’s passing peaceful and bearable. We are so thankful to have found her.

Review by Tricia D.

Recently we had to experience the loss of our German Shepard due to cancer. With her tumor on her leg and the pain I knew she was in we chose "in home pet euthanasia”. Dr. Warren made her feel loved as she laid under her favorite tree. I will always use CodaPet from now on. It made an absolute broken hearted day easier on me and my husband as Dr Warren sat in the grass with us and talked to us through each step. His voice cracked as he said, “she has now passed”. I knew at that point his heart was broken too. Even though this is something pet owners have to go through it was a lot easier on our fur-baby and us than going into the clinic where she would have been scared. Plus, she could not walk well enough to transport. I would advise anyone that has to endure this to have it done “at home” where your pet is comfortable.

Dr. Clem was kind, patient & understanding during her home visit. She took the time we needed to say goodbye and most of all, share stories of our beloved Bruno. She truly cared about our feelings & kept Bruno comfortable. If you’re ever in the position of needing her help, please feel confident in her services.

She was loving compassionate and very gentle. This was my first at home experience and she made it so special. Never rushed and let me spend all the time I needed to say goodbye to my Morgan. I will always turn to this service and have recommended it to all my friends. Thank you Sarah and Codapet.
