About Vet
Dr. Margaret “Meg” Valentino grew up on Long Island, New York, before earning her undergraduate degree from the University of Delaware and her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from the University of Minnesota. Prior to veterinary school, she proudly served with the U.S. Army Reserves Civil Affairs in Iraq and Kuwait, and afterward continued her service as a Captain in the U.S. Army Veterinary Corps as part of the Health Professions Scholarship Program. She spent a decade in Georgia, then several years back on Long Island, and now resides in Connecticut — still close enough to be near family. Drawn to both science and the quiet companionship of animals from a young age, Dr. Valentino has always believed in honoring the profound bond between pets and the people who love them. While end-of-life care is never easy, she sees in-home euthanasia as a final act of love — allowing pets to pass gently, free of pain, and wrapped in the familiarity of home and family. She is deeply committed to ensuring that each goodbye is peaceful, respectful, and reflective of a life well-loved. Outside of her veterinary work, Dr. Valentino enjoys spending time with her children — whether that’s attempting tennis, hiking, biking, or making the occasional trip into New York City to feed the pigeons in Central Park. She also loves neighborhood walks with Mr. Max, her loyal canine companion. Dr. Meg Valentino is passionate about helping families honor their pets with compassion, dignity, and heartfelt care.

Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in New Haven, CT

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.

After exhausting all possible options to help our family dog, we made the tough decision to say goodbye this past weekend. We chose in home euthanasia as I believe it would be more comfortable for our dog to have his last moments at home and choosing Dr. Sims as our vet was the best decision we could’ve made. She was very professional and empathetic, reacting to our grief with warmness and a kind smile that really meant the world to myself and my family. We had to say goodbye to a family member, but Dr. Sims made that terrible moment far more bearable.

I would recommend CodaPet to anyone going through the difficult decision and process of losing a pet. Our dog, Frankie, had never been great to get to the vet, let alone as an aging pup with temperament issues. Dr. Hundley worked with us to tailor the in-home euthanasia experience to what was needed for him in a way that was kind, compassionate, and dignified. It was clear that she had a great understanding of the relationship people have with their pets, and we appreciated the compassion and clarity in navigating the process.

Dr. Keri Wasmoen Came to our House. She was amazing! She showed so much love and compassion for our dog Maddie, who had to be put to sleep due to cancer and to our family! She helped our dog go to sleep peacefully with no pain. She was very soothing to our dog Maddie and to our family! If we ever have to do it again, I highly recommend her and would definitely call her again.Our dog hated going to the vet, but she seemed comforted with Dr. Keri Wasmoen.
