Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in Torrington, CT

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.

In home pet euthanasia with CodaPet’s network of veterinarians provides loving, end-of-life care when you need it most. Once you schedule a visit online, you will receive a confirmation, and your vet will make sure everything is arranged with care and clarity.

When your vet arrives, they’ll begin with a gentle assessment to reassure you of your decision and answer any questions you may have. Your vet will always move at your pace, giving you the time and space you need to say goodbye in your own way.

When you are ready, your vet will gently administer a sedative so your pet can relax and drift into a deep, peaceful sleep. After the sedation has fully taken effect, a final, humane medication is given, allowing for a calm and painless passing surrounded by love.

If you choose aftercare, your vet will respectfully care for your pet and transport them for cremation, handling every step with dignity and compassion.

In home euthanasia with CodaPet’s network of veterinarians in Torrington and the surrounding areas begins at around $300. Your final cost may vary based on your pet’s size, your location, and any additional services you choose—such as private or communal cremation, ashes returned in an urn, or personalized keepsakes.

When scheduling a vet visit to your home, you’ll first receive a detailed, upfront price estimate according to your specific needs before confirming a visit. If you have questions or need support at any point, you can call (959) 202-2137.

Dr. Duvall is professional, compassionate, and patient. She helped our family with an incredibly difficult and emotional moment in life. Even before our in-home visit, she was communicative and generous with her time. Being able to be together as a family at home when we had to say goodbye to our beloved Fisher was a gift, and I am so grateful we had Dr. Duvall there with us.

Dr. Amanda Harper made this transition for us such a pleasant experience under the circumstance. We were losing our baby girl after 17 years. Not knowing what to expect, Dr. Harper came in with just a gentle way about her, and explained everything in detail. She made sure we were all comfortable; covered her with blankets to keep her warm, and loved on her. Dr. Harper treated our baby as if she was treating her own. Dr. Harper is truly a class act, and a Godsend for those having to go through such a difficult time.

Dr. Jason Doolittle was great in a time we had to make the tough decision to do an in home pet euthanasia for our sweet boy Rio. He was so sweet and nice to our dog like he was his own. He was sincere in his sympathy for our situation, explained everything to us as to what he would do, and what to expect. We had two additional dogs that we wanted to have say good bye to their brother and he stepped out to allow us that time. He came prepared and while the whole process was quick, he gave us the opportunity several times to take any time we needed to say goodbye before removing our dog. Rio was with my husband and I for 14 years and this was the best way we could help him cross the rainbow bridge. We could not recommend Dr. Doolittle and his services enough.

I am incredibly grateful for Dr. Melissa’s kindness and compassion during one of the hardest moments of our lives. From the moment she arrived, Dr. Melissa treated our dog with such love, gentleness, respect, and dignity. Her calm and caring presence brought a sense of peace to an otherwise devastating experience. It was clear how deeply she cares about animals and the people who love them. Thank you for helping our beloved dog pass comfortably, surrounded by love, and for treating our family with such understanding and grace. We will always be grateful.

I highly recommend Codapet for at-home euthanasia. Dr. Silvesti was incredibly gentle and compassionate with our little chihuahua. She made sure he was nurtured and comfortable until the very end, and she also took the time to guide us through saying our goodbyes and creating keepsakes. Her care helped us as a family navigate this difficult moment with love and support.

This was my first time experiencing home euthanasia. Dr. Mitchell was absolutely amazing, she was very professional but also had an incredible amount of compassion. My husband and I came to the conclusion that our sweet Banji was no longer having any quality of life after the pain medication was no longer working. We were able to schedule an appointment with Dr. Mitchell the following business day. We were provided a consultation call a day prior to our appointment to discuss how the process would go during the appointment. Dr. Mitchell was very clear about the different stages our pet would go through. She informed us when Banji could still hear and feel us and then when her body was ready to let go. We were also provided an imprint of her paw print before Dr. Mitchell took Banji away to get cremated. My husband and I were also very surprised when Dr. Mitchell reach out to us a few days later for a follow up regarding how we were handling this loss. Dr. Mitchell is an incredibly caring and compassionate vet. It takes a very special person to do this job daily and she is definitely the best person for this. I would highly recommend using this service but Dr. Mitchell specifically if you want someone to treat your pet like they were theirs.
