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.

Saying goodbye to our 17-year-old beloved cat was incredibly sad. But we could not be more grateful for the services of Dr. Derecka Alexander and Coda Pet. Her professionalism and kindness during our in-home visit made the tough situation so much easier and was very peaceful. I would 1000% recommend Dr. Alexander and Coda Pet for anyone who has to say goodbye to a beloved furry family member and wants to do so in the comfort of their home. We feel very fortunate to have had such a positive experience during such a difficult time.

I can’t put into words how this incredibly sad time could turn into a positive experience. Dr. Keri was amazing from the initial introduction to the last goodbye. Her presence brought a calm that I didn’t think was possible. Her empathy and love for a pet that she only just met was genuine. It was easy to see how much she loves all animals. All I can say is thank you to Dr. Keri and CodaPet for making this process as easy and professional as possible. Xo

We recently had to call on Coda Pet and Dr. Laura to find out about in-home pet euthanasia offered by their company. Our 20-yr old cat was experiencing blindness and some hearing loss. He had reached a point where he was bumping into walls and could not find his way around. It broke our heart to see him in this condition and we did not want to see him traumatized. Dr. Laura was incredible. I told her she was an angel sent by God. She came to our home for the procedure and was so gracious and gentle with Albert. She explained each procedure to us and allowed us to stay with him during the procedure. Albert was a skiddish cat and it was so reassuring to have this procedure at home. I would definitely recommend Coda Pet and Dr. Laura if you need this service. R.Mickle

My husband and I were so grateful for the kindness and compassion shown during one of the hardest days we've faced. Having our beloved cat Chaussettes peacefully cared for at home made an incredibly difficult goodbye much more gentle and comforting. Dr. April was patient, respectful, and truly caring throughout the entire process. She answered all our questions and let us proceed at our own pace. We couldn't have asked for a more compassionate experience, and we will always be thankful for the dignity and peace she provided for our sweet furbaby. ❤️

Dr. Crawford did a WONDERFUL job for our beloved 13 year-old golden retriever, Meli. We discovered that she had terminal cancer at 6pm and didn't want her to suffer so were desperate to put her to sleep asap. It was such short notice that no one could accommodate us. But Dr. Crawford changed his schedule and came at 10:30am the next morning. He was kind, compassionate and made us and Meli comfortable. We will forever be grateful. Thank you Dr. Crawford.

Dr. Collins provided great care for my dog during the procedure. She was compassionate and patient as she helped me through this painful event.
