Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in Tacoma, WA
Your credit card is required to reserve your appointment. However, no payment is required until the appointment and nothing is due until the appointment is completed
We charge cancellation fee of $100 if an appointment is cancelled less than 4 hours before the start time. If your pet passes away before your appointment you would not be charged a cancellation fee. If the vet you scheduled is able, and you would like their assistance with cremation, then pickup fee would apply instead of euthanasia fee
Other Consideration
If you have a larger pet, your vet may need the help of one friend or family member. Talk to your vet about options and limitations when they reach out to you prior to your appointment, and they will inform you of any extra cost for your situation.
Options for your pets return home and memorabilia depend on your local provider. Your vet coordinate the return of your pet’s ashes and let you know if there are additional fees for urn delivery.
Extra time or medications needed can affect the total price. Other factors can be if it is decided that it’s not time to euthanize your pet after the vet has arrive. In that case, only the travel fee, platform fee, and a quality of life consult would apply.
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 compassionate when we needed to put our 13-year-old lab down. It was truly so peaceful saying goodbye. I hope I don't need this service again for many years but I'd definitely use their service again and will refer anyone I know to them.
Dr. Sara Gardhouse with CODAPET was incredibly compassionate with our choice to euthanize our beloved pet at home. Sara was patient, calm and so caring. She was communicative and truly let us feel anything in the moment. While it was one of the hardest moments of my life, Sara’s expertise and attention to detail made the impact softer. I highly recommend Coda and Dr. Gardhouse for a deeply compassionate experience.
Dr Roberts was great. Our sweet cat didn't want to leave the bathroom where he felt comfortable and she sat on the floor in there with him. She was so kind. My husband said we'd never again take a pet to the vet's office for end of life care. At home is definitely the way to go.
We had a wonderful experience with in-home pet euthanasia. Dr. Mumm was kind, gentle, knowledgeable, very prepared with supplies. She was so nice and so understanding. My daughter and I really appreciated her and her service in so many ways. I would highly recommend her and this service. Our fur baby was 14 years old and had been struggling with illness probably longer than we realized. It was the right time, although heartbreaking, and the right thing to do.
Dr. Fieg was incredibly empathetic and compassionate. The process went as smoothly as it could have. So much more peaceful than having to go into the vet and less stressful for our baby. We will always trust Dr. Fieg if we need to go through this with any of our other beloved pets.
This was my first experience losing a pet and this was the best decision that we made. danielle was so sweet and took the time to explain the process both before our appointment and during. The opportunity to do this at home was just what we needed to keep our girl mocha safe and warm in her own home instead of having anxiety from traveling and being in the vets office which can be scary for animals. I will be forever thankful to danielle and codapet for helping us during this time.
