Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in Tacoma, WA
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.

I cannot recommend Dr. Treece enough, she was so kind and had a calming presence. Every step was explained thoroughly and taken at our own pace. It is an extremely difficult decision to put your dog to sleep, but Dr. Treece and her assistant made the hard time much easier and were very respectful of my pup all the way to the end.
I met Dr. Persak years ago when she opened Woodruff Road Animal Hospital, and I remember thinking instantly, “I really like this lady.” She was warm, compassionate, and truly took the time to understand both my dog and me—especially his deep fear of the vet’s office. When the time came to say goodbye to my dog Riley in 2011, I couldn’t imagine putting him through one last stressful trip. I asked Dr. Persak if she would come to our home, and she did. She sat with us, listened to stories, and gave Riley a peaceful, dignified goodbye surrounded by love. That moment stayed with me forever. So when it was time to say goodbye to my second dog, Chubby—who belonged to my late best friend—I knew exactly who to call. I was relieved to find Dr. Persak had started CodaPet, providing in-home euthanasia. Once again, she came with the same grace, compassion, and respect. She explained the process with care, honored Chubby’s life, and gave us space to grieve. These animals are family. In our hardest moments, you want someone who leads with empathy—not profit. Dr. Persak is that rare kind of vet who sees the love and grief and meets it with heart. I can’t recommend her enough.
It took two painful shots in our cat's leg before he would lie down and be still. He was very scared after the first one. Then it took two shots to administer the euthanasia drugs. The second one was in his heart. He didn't seem to feel it at the time, and Ms. Goldthwaite was reassuring and surprised by his resilience, but overall it was exactly the opposite of what I had hoped for. We didn't want him to be scared like he would have been at the vet. Instead, he was scared at home. It was very hard to take.
Highly recommend this option for pet lovers when the difficult time comes. Dr. Hundley was compassionate, clear, timely, and answered any questions that our family had.
Can't thank Dr Christina Vernon enough for her caring and compassion. She has the biggest HEART and we could genuinely feel her sorrow with us in our loss of our Jiji. 🐈⬛ Dr. Christina went way beyond and I truly am thankful and greatful for her. 💗💐🦋🐈⬛ your home now Jiji 💓
Thank you, CodaPet, for helping make one of the most heartbreaking moments—saying goodbye to my sweet pup Mia—a little more bearable. Dr. Keri was incredibly compassionate and supportive throughout the entire process. She gently explained each step of the procedure, helping me understand what was happening and what to expect. What meant the most, though, was that it didn’t feel like just a service or a job to her. She took the time to ask about Mia, to learn what made her special, and to truly honor her memory. Thank you for being there for me—and for so many others—during such a difficult time. Your care and empathy mean more than words can express.
