Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in Smyrna, TN
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.

Dr. Amanda Harper was amazing. Her professionalism & expertise was very much appreciated in this hard time. Having a pet put down is never easy, however Dr. Amanda made the experience a little less painful by being so supportive, kind, and calm not only with our sweet cat, but with my family as well.
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.
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.
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.
As difficult as it was to lose our Albert Amanda compassion, patience made the situation much easier. Thank you for caring so greatly.
My cat, who was around 12 or 13 years old and had an inoperable brain tumor, got really sick around Christmas, and a few days later it became clear to me that I might have to consider humane euthanasia to give my cat a peaceful transition. By December 28, 2024, my cat’s health had declined significantly and she could no longer stand up on her own and was no longer eating any food. Because it was a Saturday, my cat’s regular vet wasn’t open, so I had to resort to googling “at home euthanasia near me” in hopes of finding a provider that could come to my house as quickly as possible (I didn’t want my baby’s last moments to be at the emergency vet — a place she really didn’t like). Unfortunately for me, the first result that came up in my google results was CodaPet. I deeply regret using this service and I wouldn’t recommend them (or Dr. Jaime Pickett) to anyone looking for at home euthanasia services in Richmond, VA. CodaPet’s website and Google profile only had good reviews, so I figured my cat would be in good hands — boy was I wrong!!!! Dr. Pickett came to my house and performed the euthanasia on schedule, but didn’t provide any information about the medications being administered or what I should expect during the process. At least the process itself was relatively quick. After the appointment, Dr. Pickett took my cat with her and didn’t provide any details to me about the expected timing for receiving her ashes or about the crematorium where my cat would be taken. She also didn’t explain whether the mementos (a clay paw print and tuft of fur) that I ordered would be handled by her or by the crematorium. The lack of information made it extremely difficult for me to follow up on my cat’s cremation and the mementos that I ordered. I had to call CodaPet MULTIPLE times to receive information about my cat’s cremation and the timing. Eventually, I found out the name of the crematorium (Agape) and they told me that Dr. Pickett did NOT include a clay paw print or tuft of fur on my order form so they did not do that before cremating my cat. Of course, this startling revelation TRAUMATIZED me and I followed up with CodaPet IMMEDIATELY to have Dr. Pickett contact me. Dr. Pickett then belatedly explained that she handles the clay paw prints and tuft of fur herself for “quality control” to ensure “good quality”. Almost 3 weeks later, I finally received my cat’s ashes. Dr. Pickett told me she would hand my cat’s ashes back to me directly, but of course she didn’t follow through with that and instead she callously handed my cat’s ashes to a receptionist downstairs in my building’s leasing office. When I opened the bag with my cat’s ashes, it became clear to me why Dr. Pickett chose to leave my baby’s ashes with the receptionist instead of handing them to me directly — the clay paw print that I was so desperately yearning for was nothing like I would’ve imagined. The clay was dirty and stained and had random black ink markings and scribbles on it which had nothing to do with my cat (it looked like ink that had just been spilled on several areas of the clay and the clay was a dirty yellow color). **TLDR** // By providing awful customer service and an AWFUL clay paw print that I can’t even keep due to it looking filthy and old, CodaPet and Dr. Pickett not only disrespected me and the memory of my cat, but she also deprived me of the one lasting memory I would’ve otherwise had of my cat’s paw. I cannot recommend CodaPet’s or Dr. Pickett’s services to anyone. Please don’t make the same mistake I did.
