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.

Our experience with Dr. Shannon Nakaya was superb. We had a wonderful 16.5 year old Honey Girl that God was calling. Our personal in-home pet euthanasia experience, was a beautiful, wonderful send off for our dog. Dr. Shannon was kind, graceful, and comforting. Also of note, we have known Dr. Nakaya for around 25 years, as she has been the vet for our parrot's health as well. I would never take any family member (pet), to a vet office to send to heaven, as personal in-home pet euthanasia is definitely the way to go, and Dr. Nakaya is the best ! Highly and strongly recommend. The whole experience was beautiful !

Dr. Sarah Clem was incredible and we are so thankful for her services. Top notch from the time she first contacted us to the time she brought our fur baby back to us.

This has been one of the hardest things I've had to do. I was already having a hard time watching my dog decline as fast as he was and had found codapet from a animal rescue person on Facebook. I saved the website in order to look at it later on. My husband had commented that my dog was not looking good and that it was better to have a vet send him off then us finding him rotting away somewhere in our backyard. It was only because of my mom that I was able to do this for my fur son and send him off in a painless way. Dr. Sarah Clem was wonderful, she gave us options to store his ashes and I had already purchased an urn that I felt that was a good fit for my fur son's ashes. She gave us a paw print in a little case of his paw and was supportive to me and my husband throughout the whole process. He is no longer in pain and despite how much it hurts my heart, I know that it was the most loving thing I could do for him. It takes 3 weeks to get his ashes and she will contact us and hand them off to us when she gets them. Thank you Dr. Sarah Clem for sending my fur child off to the rainbow bridge where he can do laps for as long as he wants.

I can't thank Dr Sarah Wratten enough to make the worst day of my life into a peaceful and healing moment. The level of compassion, love and guidance she showed not only my dog but also myself, was unexpected and will be eternally appreciated. My 15 yo Beagle Lady Dexter was at peace throughout the whole "ceremony". Thanks to her, this sad and hard experience gave me some solace to ease the pain knowing she flew away pain- and fear-free. Thank you
