About Vet
Dr. Evymarie Prado Sanchez is devoted to ensuring your beloved pet’s final moments are filled with peace, comfort, and love. Born and raised in Puerto Rico, she earned her Bachelor's degree in Animal Science with a minor in Pre-Veterinary Studies from the University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez in 2014. She went on to complete both her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine and a Master’s of Public Health at the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine in 2019. Since then, she has worked across various areas of veterinary care—including general practice, emergency medicine, and hospice and palliative care—before settling in the Shenandoah Valley with her family and three dogs. You’ll feel Dr. Prado Sanchez’s deep compassion and dedication the moment you meet her. Her calling to end-of-life care came during her time in emergency medicine, where she witnessed firsthand the emotional weight families carry when saying goodbye. She believes every pet deserves a serene, loving transition at home, and every family deserves the time and space to grieve in a familiar environment. Her calm presence and gentle approach help bring comfort during even the most difficult goodbyes. Outside of veterinary medicine, Dr. Prado Sanchez has a passion for cars—especially her 2001 Mazda Miata, which she’s lovingly transformed into a show car. She enjoys scenic drives through the Blue Ridge Mountains with her partner and their three dogs: Kojack, a loyal Blue Heeler; Moana, a sea-loving Golden Retriever; and Siby, a spirited Chihuahua-Husky mix from Puerto Rico.

Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in Staunton, 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.

Dr. Allison could not have been more loving and compassionate with our family. The process was so peaceful, in our home surrounded by those that loved her the most! Dr. Allison made a very difficult situation more bearable. Thank you so much!

When the time came for our final goodbye to our beloved pet, we decided in home pet euthanasia was our best option. We found Dr. Crawford online through CodaPet. CodaPet’s online scheduling made the process easy when talking about it was difficult. CodaPet’s website explained the process and contained information to answer all of our questions. Dr. Crawford’s compassion and calming demeanor was very helpful. We were given as much time as needed to say our goodbyes. I highly recommend Dr. Crawford and CodaPet.

Dr Lori is an amazing person. She was so kind, gentle and thorough. She carefully explained every step of the process. She gave us opportunity to ask questions and think things through and even change our minds along the way. We were able to help our good boy cross over feeling safe and comfortable at home with his people. Thank you so much Dr Lori.

I am so grateful for Dr. Elder and her willingness to help our pets comfortably cross the Rainbow Bridge. She was so kind and patient with us during the whole procedure. This was exactly what I wanted, and I am so happy we chose CodaPet with Dr. Elder. I would recommend this service 100 times over to anyone wanting their fur babies to pass at home.

Dr. Alexandra Wolfingbarger was kind, caring, and just all around a warm presence to have during this difficult time. I'm glad we were able to send Boo off in a comfortable setting at home as she was always stressed with vet visits. Thank you Dr. Wolfingbarger for allowing a peaceful transition during a really difficult time in both Boo's life and mine.
