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 Sims was very calm and compassionate. She shows her compassion for her love of animals. I was at peace when she removed my animal with such respect in a beautiful basket and blanket. I highly recommend Dr Sims.

We were so thankful for ability to remain at home with our family dog. It made this sad experience at least more comfortable both for our sick dog and for us. I highly recommend this service. Dr.Kelly was very kind and caring throughout the process.

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.

Dr. Cory showed up when I needed her the most. She was amazing, compassionate, and so gentle in helping my beloved Charlie cross the rainbow bridge. Charlie had advanced osteosarcoma and was on palliative care, she deteriorated rapidly over a holiday weekend and my vet was closed. By Sunday morning I knew it was time to let her go. I’m so grateful Dr. Cory was available to come to my home that afternoon, the pain and stress Charlie would’ve experienced otherwise would be more heartbreaking than the process itself. Thank you being there for me during the hardest time of my life, I am forever grateful.

While it’s never a positive experience saying goodbye to your pet, Dr. Gary and Codapet made the experience less painful for all involved. If you’ve come to the decision to bravely give your pet rest, I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Gary to help with that transition. He showed up promptly for our appointment, explained the procedure and guided our pet peacefully through their transition. Rest assured that during this stressful time, having a smooth process is one less thing to worry about when you go with Dr. Gary.

Dr. Jen was very helpful. She explained each step and answered all our questions. The experience was as good as such a sad experience could be.
