Dr. Houck was wonderful. The process is difficult of course, but she made everything much easier. We will definitely call again when another time comes. This was our first experience with home euthanasia and we highly recommend it.

Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in Roanoke, VA

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.

At a time when it felt like everything was going badly, Dr Cara Mitchell came to the house and made everything just a little bit easier with her kindness ad generosity. It is easy to see she really cares and sees her job as a sacred service to animals and those who love them.

The scheduling was easy and everyone I spoke with was so kind and professional. Dr. Perzak from beginning to end was extremely supportive and compassionate to our needs. I would recommend CodaPet to anyone who looks to care for their fur babies at home. They are the absolute best at what they do.

Review for Dr. Laura Krogman I cannot express enough gratitude for Dr. Laura Krogman and the compassionate care she provided during one of the most difficult moments of our lives. Saying goodbye to our sweet 14-year-old dog, Milton, was heartbreaking, but Dr. Laura made the process as peaceful and comfortable as possible—for him and for us. From the moment she arrived, her professionalism and empathy were evident. Her bedside manner was truly remarkable, and her timing throughout the process was perfect. She ensured that Milton experienced no anxiety or discomfort, allowing him to be at ease in his own home. Having been through this process before, I can say without a doubt that having it done at home made a world of difference. Dr. Laura was truly an angel in our time of need, and I will forever be grateful for her kindness. I would highly recommend her to anyone facing this difficult decision. She is a rare and special soul who provides a level of care and compassion that is beyond measure. Thank you!

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.

Utah Valley is fortunate to have access to Dr. Loren Frarer. She is competent and compassionate. It took a LOT of the stress out of having to put my beloved pet to sleep. An at-home euthanasia is a big step up from taking a sick dog to the vet's office and I will do it every time.

Cannot recommend Dr. Perzak enough. She was kind, compassionate, and let us take all the time we needed with the passing of our dog that we viewed as a family member. The whole process from start to finish was peaceful and in a place where our dog felt most comfortable. 10/10 would recommend- completely worth it.
