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.

Losing a pet is very difficult. Having the ability to have it done at home in a non stressful way made it as good as it could be. Dr. Kyra Heirich was incredibly compassionate and kind with our whole family and fully explained the process to my children - which I think helped them understand and process their grief. I so appreciate that she offers home care and would highly suggest her to anyone going through this difficult process.

I can’t express how grateful we are to Dr. Lori. She cared for our baby with such compassion, gentleness, and respect. Because of her, our baby was able to remain at home, surrounded by loved ones during such an important time. Dr. Lori gave us all the time we needed, never making us feel rushed, and showed incredible patience and understanding throughout the entire process. Her kindness and professionalism meant the world to our family. I highly recommend Dr Lori’s services and would not hesitate to use her again in the future.

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. Sara Gardhouse did a great job on one of the hardest days of my life. She was calm, present and gave time. I was thankful I was able to do in home euthanasia so that my dog was in a familiar space in his last moments.

We recently had the hardest decision to put our baby girl down and we used Coda Pet for the in home euthanasia service. We had Dave Leatherman as our in home vet and he was nothing but kind, respectful, and amazing. He was so kind to our family, the other animals in our home, and most importantly our precious girl. He made sure she was comfortable throughout the whole process and also made sure we were comfortable with everything he was doing. He talked to us as long as we wanted and met all of our questions or emotions with the utmost patience, kindness, and respect. Dave, you’re truly an angel. If you have to go through this terrible process, this truly was most peaceful and beautiful way to do it. Would highly recommend for other pet parents in need of this option.

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.
