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. Amy was amazing and really made Bailey’s final moments as peaceful and painless as possible. The entire process went as well as it possibly could under the circumstances. We would highly recommend her.

We chose in-home euthanasia for our pup of 13 years because going to the vet made him very anxious. We appreciated that Dr Alexander had a Sunday opening so our kids could be there and we didn’t have to worry about work. She was also so wonderful and compassionate…our boy was so peaceful. Dr Alexander helped us immensely during a very difficult time for our family.

So grateful to Dr. Dennis. I have been in this position before with not a lot of helpful vet options in my time of need. This experience, although extremely painful, was so much less stressful on me and my beloved kitty. After I made the appointment for the next day, she reached out to let me know she had availability that day if I needed her. She stayed in touch with me thru the whole process and was so very kind. I wanted my baby to be outside to cross that rainbow bridge because she loved it so much and Dr. Dennis was so on board. Again ever so grateful for her and her services. She passed in my arms under this tree.

The utmost thanks to Dr Laura Alala for making our difficult time much easier in the end. Our Cat, Apollo, was beginning to suffer so much in his last days of fighting kidney disease which caused him to completely stop eating. I was with him all night and day watching him suffer and wasn’t sure he was even going to make it to his euthanizing appointment! I just wanted him to be able to rest in peace as soon as possible! I contacted to her and asked if there was any way to come early and she said “Yes, I will see what I can do”. She was able to change her schedule and come a whole 2 hours early. She put our dear family member and good buddy of 16 years to rest with respect, compassion and understanding. I liked how she took him away with him looking as if he was sleeping in a comfortable bed snuggled up in comfy blankets. So glad we had her come out!

Dr Laura was very kind and compassionate as we said goodbye to our beloved German Shepherd Sasha. Easy to book and she explained the entire process. Sasha went to sleep peacefully in her own bed at home.

Dr. Ann was amazing, caring, compassionate, allowed my family time. Never felt rushed, had been texting me all day making sure me and family were ok. My dog was a 115lb Cane Corso, who was having trouble getting around, much more on and out of the car. To have been able to let our baby stay home on her bed surrounded by everyone she loved and adored her was priceless. I am so glad I found out about these services, I had no idea existed. Thank you Dr. Ann Gonnering and Coda Pet❤️
