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. 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. 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.

As a mom to 5 pets who have crossed the bridge over the years, this was my first home experience for that journey. Dr Causey was so wonderful and kind! She didn't treat my Blaize or me with anything other than compassion and time. There was no rush. I have to say, in the future, I will never have my babies cross the bridge anywhere else but in the home they are comfortable with and a service that respected us 100%

Review by Joan Gibney

There are no words to fully describe the gratitude I have for Dr.Laura. Losing my best friend, Jack, was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to go through. His pain progressed so rapidly,almost overnight and after a devastating Saturday night for both of us, I was desperate for help! Not only did she reply within less than a hour of me asking for help on the codapet website at 9 at night but she stepped in and came to our house the very next day, on a Sunday! I was struggling so much with the guilt of whether I was making the right choice. She sat with me, listened, and gently agreed that choosing peace before he became completely miserable was the greatest act of love I could give him. Her knowledge, validation, and kindness gave me a sense of peace I didn't think was possible in such a dark moment. Jack was completely comfortable with her right away, and she treated him with such genuine sweetness. Seeing him so calm with her also made the process easier! She didn't mind where we started the process, she gave Jack time to decide where he was most comfortable. She explained every single step, making sure we knew exactly what to expect, she was gentle with him every step so he would stay comfortable the whole time. She never once made us feel rushed. We were given all the time we needed to sit, hold him and say our final goodbyes. She turned a devastating transition into a beautiful, dignified, and calm experience for my sweet boy in the comfort of his own home. She is truly an angel, and I cannot recommend her enough!!

Sarah is amazing during this difficult time with having to say good bye to river. Communicated prior to appointment time and explained everything in detail when she arrived. Sarah’s energy of compassion and comforting during the process helped ease the transition of River to Doggy Heaven ✨

Dr. Lara treated Winston—and us—with the utmost respect and compassion as she helped him prepare to cross the rainbow bridge. She never rushed the process, giving Winston and our family the time we needed to say goodbye and prepare ourselves. Afterward, she gently assisted us in carrying him to his resting place. Although it was an incredibly sad moment for us, Dr. Lara felt like a member of the family, guiding and supporting us through Winston’s final goodbye. Thank you Dr. Lara.
