Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in La Jolla, 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.

An amazing company to help you through a most difficult time. Dr Murry arrived early upon a last minute reqeust, he was pleasant and kind. He softly explained the process and answered any and all questions....I cannot recommend them enough! We are so glad we found them to help us get through this difficult time, it's so great to be able to have this done at home where your pet feels safe and secure....our Eddie was able to finish his final moments at home with his family, safe and comfortable in his own bed. Thank you CodaPets & Dr. Murry!
I have never been so impressed as I am with Dr. Karen Whala. She made a horrible heartbreaking situation, kind, warm and dignified. She made our dog comfortable and treated her with immeasurable kindness, respect and care. I would use her again without question.
Cara was such an incredible blessing to our family. Our 16 year old border collie lab mix Dorothy was ready to transition and Cara facilitated such a loving and respectful passing. The fact that she came to our home made such a difference! Dorothy could be surrounded by those who loved her in a setting she felt safe and familiar in. Cara couldn’t have been more kind, patient and capable. Thank you forever for making this painful day a beautiful day as well.
When we had to make the difficult choice to put our fur-baby Matchbox down, we searched online and came across Dr. Megan Lowman's CodaPet Profile, and I am so thankful to have chosen her for our in-home pet euthanasia. She helped our beloved dog pass with care, respect, and dignity. She brought kindness, compassion, and understanding and was always mindful of our needs, all while ensuring the process went correctly. She talked us through every step, gave us necessary moments, and most importantly, made sure to treat and handle our dog with care. We cannot recommend Dr. Lowman more highly.
Dr.Devlin was wonderful. Putting our Bella to sleep was the hardest decision we had to make and knew it was time. He was very compassionate and gentle with our baby and made it easier for all of us. Thank you!
The vet was very gentle with us and our pet. Much appreciated during a sad and stressful time. Like that she explained how it will work and what she was doing
