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.

Our sweet Wilson declined quickly on a Saturday of a 3 day weekend. We were blessed to find Dr. Wratten and CodaPet. She was able to come to our home on Sunday without additional weekend or holiday fees added in. Would definitely recommend to others.

Making the decision to help our dog peacefully pass was one of the hardest choices I have ever made. While it was not what I wanted, it was what I had to do for our beloved Dex. He was part of our family and very loved by many. Unfortunately he was headed downhill fast and the thought of letting him continue to suffer was unbearable. Dr. Nicolette Michelli is who assisted us and I can’t say enough about how compassionate she was. From the moment she met Dex she treated him like he was part of her family while helping me and my family through the grieving process. I hope you are never in this situation and forced to make the decision we had to but if you do I highly recommend Dr. Nicolette Michelli.

Dr. Delia come to my apartment to help me say goodbye to my boy Lucas and five stars doesn’t seem like enough. She was kind and spoke calmly as she explained the process. She was gentle with Lucas and let me set the pace for saying goodbye. She gave me privacy at the end and when I was ready, she carefully placed Lucas in a wooden box lined with comfy quilts so she could transport him with love and respect. I highly recommend her!

There truly are not enough words to express how kind, compassionate, thoughtful, and comforting Dr. Karen Duncan was during one of the hardest moments our family has ever faced. From the moment she arrived, she made us feel completely safe, at ease, and supported through the entire process. Every single detail — even the smallest touches you wouldn’t think of — was handled with such gentleness, dignity, and care. She treated our Finley-man with so much respect and love, and she treated us with the same compassion. Being able to say goodbye at home, where our pet was most comfortable and peaceful, made an unimaginable situation feel as comforting as it possibly could be. If you are considering in-home euthanasia for your own beloved pet, I truly cannot recommend Dr. Duncan enough. While this is a heartbreaking experience no one ever wants to go through, she made it the absolute best experience that this situation could possibly be. And honestly — while I sincerely hope I never need her services at my house again (for obvious reasons!), if and when that time ever comes, there is no question that it will absolutely be her. We will never forget her kindness.

Knox “ The Pooper Dooper” Dr Josh was extremely compassionate and kind when he came into our home to put our baby to rest. I have never had to go through euthanasia for a pet before, and I was nervous about the procedure itself. Dr Josh has a much more gentle and merciful approach with euthanasia. I myself am having a hard time processing my baby leaving this world. Dr Josh deserves this recognition thank you for coming into our home and being easy with our heart and soul. Kattey and Austin

Dr. Carolyn Benedetto made one of the hardest days feel peaceful and deeply personal. She took the time to understand Annie and created such a calm, cozy environment for our 14-year-old Cavalier’s final goodbye. She thoughtfully explained every step, was incredibly kind with my children. It was a far more compassionate experience than any clinical setting we’ve experienced before.
