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. 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.

Losing a beloved pet is never easy, but Dr Karen made this difficult situation a peaceful experience. Our sweet Roxy got to pass in the comfort of our home surrounded by her favorite human & furry family members. Dr Karen was very kind and compassionate throughout the appointment. She truly has a gift for what she does and how she does it. We can’t thank her enough. While we hope we don’t need to use this service anytime soon, we will definitely seek Dr Karen’s help the next time it is needed.

I would like to thank Dr. John Crawford for his care and support this week. I made the decision to liberate my 13 year old dog, Toro, and the gentleness and kindness shown by Dr. Crawford helped me support Toro in his last moments. Dr. Crawford was prompt to arrive at my home in Baltimore City. He spoke calmly and lovingly to Toro throughout the procedure and was very kind to his "brothers" as they gave their goodbyes. There was no anxiety or concern for Toro, he rested peacefully. Equal care was provided as Toro was carried out of our home. Thank you again, Dr. Crawford.

Dr. Hundley is an angel. She came to our home for an urgent situation after our elderly greyhound suffered a broken leg. She was compassionate and caring and provided him (and us) with comfort in his last moments.

It was the hardest day of my life but Dr Sarah made it less stressful. I wanted my baby girl to leave this world in her favorite room on her favorite bed, not in the stressful vet offices. Such a great service to offer for pet parents.
