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 Sara was so gentle and reassuring. She didn't rush us at any point in time. I went on the website at 5am and had a 10am appointment. I'm so glad I chose Codapet as my option for my dog

Dr Gary was kind, calm, quiet, professional, and most of all patient while waiting for us to make the necessary decisions on when and how, to our Dear Gromit go. She was with us for 15 years, and he ensured she felt no pain as she transitioned from this life.

Layla was a travel companion, a family member, a walking buddy and my "baby girl". She was a 16 year old terrier mix. She loved to play ball, cuddle on the couch and eat broccoli. Layla had Mast Cell cancer and when she experienced pain, I knew it was time to comfort her. We agonized over the decision and decided the best way to honor her life was to have Dr. Cat come to the house. Dr Cat's calm, compassionate & friendly demeanor was a pleasant surprise in an otherwise painful situation. Layla was given a sedative and then put into a deep sleep before the final shot was given. Layla passed away peacefully on my husband's lap.

Our experience was as beautiful as it could have been. Dr. Amy Lutgen DeWitt was responsive, reassuring, kind, knowledgeable, compassionate, and gentle. She was not rushed and seemed to genuinely care about our pet and family’s wellbeing. Having this experience at home felt more comfortable for everyone. We highly recommend. 💕

Still too raw or hurtful to even try to describe the pain of putting our Tut down… That being said Doc was professional, kind, Understanding and there was absolutely no time frame which she was operating on other than ours. I couldn’t suggest any other way or any other doctor more strongly. Thank you

Dr. Collins was truly wonderful. She walked us through the entire process with such compassion, explaining what would happen and gently preparing us for each step. She gave us all the time we needed with our sweet girl and helped us create beautiful keepsakes with her paw prints and nose print. We are deeply grateful for Dr. Collins and for this service, which allowed Dolly to pass peacefully in her own backyard, surrounded by love.
