About Vet
Dr. Katie Todd, a Louisville native and proud 2012 graduate of the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine, is dedicated to providing compassionate care to pets. After completing her education, she returned to Kentucky to be close to her family and to serve the community she loves. Her approach to veterinary medicine is deeply rooted in a desire to offer comfort, healing, and support through every stage of your pet’s life. Dr. Todd specializes in in-home euthanasia because she believes this service allows pets to pass peacefully in the comfort of their familiar surroundings, surrounded by the love of their family. She understands how difficult this time can be and strives to create a stress-free, compassionate experience for both you and your pet, honoring the deep bond you share. When she’s not caring for her patients, Dr. Todd enjoys traveling, hiking, and exploring new places. She’s recently taken up cross-stitching as a creative and relaxing hobby. At home, she’s kept on her toes by Stevie, her spirited blind cat who loves to explore, and Princeton, a gentle and laid-back feline companion. Dr. Todd considers it a privilege to support families during this tender time in their pet’s journey.

Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in Louisville, KY

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.

choosing to have our baby girl cross the rainbow bridge at home was the best decision we could have made. Dr. Megan Lowman made the whole process smooth and comforting.

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!

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.

I can't express enough how grateful I am to Dr. Anna L. Peterson. My cat Korra deteriorated faster than expected and when I reached out to Dr. Peterson to move up our appointment time she responded right away and was at my door in under an hour. Upon arrival she immediately jumped into action and provided Korra the relief she needed. She was kind, respectful, professional and made one of my hardest days a bit easier. I would recommend her to anyone looking for in-home pet euthanasia in the Superior WI area.

Dr Beth Nunn at CodaPet assisted us with an in home pet euthanasia for my kitty Lulu. Taking her to a vet office again was not an option as she was stressed and terrified after going there. Plus vets want to continue to give meds and keep them in office, and I knew it was her time to pass. The process was very peaceful and Dr Nunn was so flexible given we had to change appts twice. Its the worse thing we have to do with our loving pets, but this made the process much less stressful.

Dr. Crawford is far and away the kindest human being I have ever met. Before he even shook my hand he said “I’m sorry we have to meet this way.” He brought such a peaceful presence to what I knew was going to be one of the most difficult days I’ve had to go through. Our appointment was scheduled for an hour and it ended up taking almost two. Fortunately for my wife and I there were moments of levity during the appointment and John didn’t miss a beat adding to that levity. When everything was finished he placed a firm grip on my shoulder to let me know my sweet girl crossed the rainbow bridge and I could see in his face that he shared my pain. That level of compassion was unexpected but incredibly welcomed. Should anyone else find themselves having to make the same difficult choice I had to make I encourage you reach out to Dr. Crawford.
