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 Renee was wonderful. She was understanding and compassionate in supporting us during a very difficult time. I would recommend her in a heartbeat.

We chose Codapet and Dr. Nicolette Michelli for the in-home euthanasia of our beloved dog Archie. It was one of the most difficult things we’ve had to go through, but our experience with Codapet and especially Dr. Michelli helped us navigate the process and our grief in a way I never expected. I cannot even begin to put into words the kindness, care and compassion we received all the way around. Dr. Michelli is one of a kind, and I cannot recommend her or Codapet highly enough. If you find yourself needing in-home euthanasia services for your pet, I’m confident in saying there is no better option out there than Dr. Michelli.

Genuinely cannot recommend this service and Dr. Murray enough. Making that hard decision and saying goodbye to our Luna was extremely difficult… But having the option to keep her comfortable, where she felt the safest (her corner on the couch) during her last moments meant everything to us and felt like the very least we could do after the 12 years she gave us. Dr. Murray was extremely compassionate and thorough, explaining the whole process beforehand, as well as during each step. Our family can be a lot to handle at times so i especially appreciate how he was able to adapt to our dynamic in a way that didn’t feel forced. I don’t wish the heartache on anyone… but when that time does unfortunately come, I cannot recommend Dr. Murray enough.

My darling old cat was slowly dying from kidney disease, and my fears of deciding too soon or too late nearly paralyzed my thinking process. Dr. Lara Allison listened carefully and thoughtfully to all of my concerns, fears, and observations, and she helped me follow my own intuition and make the decision to euthanize. No matter how well we understand the kindness we are providing our beloved pets by easing their suffering, the pain of their loss cuts deeply. Once I made to decision to proceed, Dr. Allison provided the most gentle, caring, and calming care I could have hoped for. My sweet old boy received the most peaceful sleep he had had in weeks, and Dr. Allison then gave him the transition to his forever happiness. My heart misses him grievously, but I know that I gave him the greatest kindness in the end, and that he knew I was taking care of him to the last. I’m so grateful to Dr. Allison for her gentle support.

I knew my dog, Thelma, was ready to go. I knew I wanted it done at home. I knew I wanted the right doctor to help with this painful process. After reaching out to several vets, I found Dr. April Le Blanc. When I opened the door on that dreadful day, I knew I'd found the right person. She was compassionate, and understanding. Dr. April immediately understood how much Thelma meant to me and honored my requests completely. She gently explained what was going to happen and when. Thelma went peacefully under her favorite bush in our garden. Considering what a heartbreaking day that was, Dr. April made the pain more tolerable with her sensitivity and love for animals.

Dr. Roberts was amazing. Gave us all the time we needed. Buckley was my best friend of over 15 years and he was able to leave in my arms. We sat on the patio, he stayed with me until he was no longer here. Couldn’t imagine taking him to a vet for this, just so much more comforting knowing it happened where he was most comfortable. Thank you to Dr. Roberts and Codapet, it’s the worst thing in the world but she made it so much better for us. Miss you buddy
