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!!

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.

We recently had to make the incredibly difficult decision to say goodbye to our beloved pet Nugget and I can’t express enough how grateful we are for Dr. Clem. From start to finish, she made the process as peaceful and comfortable as it could possibly be and my heart is filled with joy that we were able to do this as our last gift for my sweet girl. Dr. Clem was incredibly kind, empathetic, patient and took the time to answer all of our questions and ease our concerns. She gave us space to process the decision, but also offered guidance with such gentle understanding. The at-home euthanasia service was a blessing and really the best decision we could have made. It allowed our pet to be in their own familiar space, in her own bed, surrounded by pure love. Dr. Clem truly has a gift for this delicate work and she made a difficult day much easier to bear. If you are facing the tough choice of euthanasia for your pet, I highly recommend Dr. Clem for in home euthanasia not only for her expert care and deep empathy, but above all, her understanding of how to make such a painful experience as loving and peaceful as possible. Dr. Clem even returned my sweet Nugget in a urn, engraved with her name. I really cannot emphasize enough how much this process helped me accept Nugget’s transition home with such peace. If you are on the fence about having Dr. Clem do an in home euthanasia, this is your sign not to be! Thank you Dr. Clem and Codapet for everything. You’ve left an everlasting mark on our hearts and we will never be able to thank you enough - The Carlson’s

Dr. Whala was professional, caring, and a blessing. Having her come to my house in order for Baby to be comfortable in the company of the entire family made the difference given the difficult situation of saying goodbye to our precious German Shepherd, Baby. We appreciate the services she provides to make sure Baby was treated with love and care.

Dr. Delia could not have been more compassionate in her work with me and my dog. Her presence, gentleness and pacing all contributed to a peaceful process at this heartbreaking time. Would recommend her to anyone facing the same situation.
