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 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.

Dr Melissa Goldberg really made our experience the absolute best it could be. She is so very kind and understanding , also accommodating. I scheduled an appointment and realized our 15yr old dog Buck was needing help sooner than later. Dr Goldberg had already texted me not long after booking , so I had her number. I asked her advice on waiting until the next evening, which is when we scheduled for . She made arrangements to come to our home that night instead. So kind. She explains the whole process, no surprises It is absolutely the most love you can show your animal. Our guy laid on his favorite spot on the couch, our whole family was home in the room with the him. He was completely comfortable with Dr Goldberg immediately, as were we. It is not an awkward experience. She understands the assignment and acts with care and compassion and allows the family to do what they need to do without intrusion. He fell asleep in the most peaceful way I think I ever saw, it was oddly beautiful. It was so the right time I realized. I can say without hesitation it was perhaps the best decision I’ve ever made if you can appreciate that. The gravity of making this decision is almost unbearable. But having him home , in his spot , with his family- just drifting off ? Literally priceless. I’ve never been more comfortable with a purchase. And I thank her and the service from the bottom of my heart.

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.

Dr Dixon made saying goodbye to our beloved pet a *little* less painful. The fact that she had a weekend evening appointment available so we didn’t have to transport her to an animal hospital but instead were able to keep her home and comfortable was a huge relief. Dr Dixon was very kind, informative and patient.

During a difficult time, CodaPet in home pet euthanasia was the best choice for my dog Jessie. There was no anxiety of being put in the car and taken to a strange office. She was in her yard, enjoying the beautiful afternoon with treats and petting while on her doggy bed. My other dog was there with us too. I could not have asked for a more peaceful passing. Dr. DuBose was very kind and gentle with her. Thank you for a calm crossing over the rainbow bridge.

One of the hardest days we knew would be coming soon with our old man Cloud(14 yrs young) but ofc we thought we had more time. We're new to the area and had yet to establish a vet when his life quality declined over a matter of days. It's Saturday evening and Brick & Mortar vets are closed for the weekend. The emergency services have astronomical costs and an unfamiliar place/people sounds a terrible way to go. Thanks to CodaPet that wasn't necessary. I filled out the forms and requested an appt for the very next morning. The vet reached out and we spoke about expectations and questions. When the time comes and your facing the hardest decision I can't recommend them enough. Dr. Houck came to our home and patiently helped make the transition comfortable and familiar instead of a cold impersonal Dr's office. My old man laid in his favorite spot surrounded by his family as he passed. He deserved no less.
