Initial Contact
Your vet will reach out to you prior to your appointment to answer any questions you may have and address any special circumstances or concerns.
At-Home Assessment
Your vet will make an assessment of your pet’s health and quality of life to provide guidance to ensure your decision is informed.
Pre-Medication
The veterinarian will administer an initial sedative or anesthetic to help your pet relax and become pain-free, ensuring they are comfortable and at ease.
Euthanasia
The veterinarian will first ensure your pet is fully sedated before gently administering anesthesia which will quickly slow down your pet’s respiratory system until the heart finally stops beating. In most cases, this process takes less than a minute.
Travel Fee

Platform Fee
A small percentage of the total supports vets with non-medical items, allowing them to spend more time caring for pets.

Questions you may have
The total cost includes the in-home pet euthanasia service fee, any applicable travel fees, and a platform fee. Depending on your preferences, additional fees may apply for cremation services or memorial keepsakes.
During your appointment, your vet will carefully confirm your preferred aftercare option with you. If you choose cremation, your vet will manage your pet’s gentle transportation to a local crematorium. If your selected cremation service includes receiving your pet’s ashes, your vet will clearly explain the process for returning your pet's ashes and provide an estimated timeline for their return.
You have the option to have your vet respectfully transport your pet to the crematorium. Depending on your preference, your pet’s ashes can either be lovingly returned to you or respectfully spread with other pets.
Note: If you choose to have your pet’s ashes returned to you, your vet will coordinate the return of your pet’s ashes at the time of your appointment.
We allow cancellations at no fee to you for appointments canceled more than 4 hours before your start time. If you cancel your appointment less than 4 hours before your appointment time you will be subject to a cancellation fee of $100.
Your vet reserves time in their schedule exclusively for you, so we ask you to cancel as soon as you are able so that your vet may help another family in need.
Note: You can cancel or reschedule your appointment on your booking confirmation page or find a link to it in your booking confirmation email.
If your pet passes naturally before your scheduled euthanasia appointment, you may cancel at any time prior to your vet's arrival without incurring any fees. If you'd still like assistance arranging transportation for cremation, you can request your vet provide a deceased pet pick-up and cremation services.
Note: You can cancel or reschedule your appointment on your booking confirmation page or find a link to it in your booking confirmation email.
Yes, your vet will offer a variety of meaningful memorabilia you can purchase if you choose to request the return of your pet's ashes. After selecting your vet and preferred cremation option, you'll have the opportunity to review and choose from available keepsake options. You may also find comfort in exploring our suggestions for pet memorial ideas.
Note: You may also choose to add the memorabilia or change your mind about your choice at the time of your appointment.
In the case of wanting a private burial, if your city/county regulations allow, you can choose to bury your pet. Please check local regulations to see if this is legal in your area.
If you want to bury your pet in a cemetery, you will need to choose and make arrangements with a local pet cemetery before the euthanasia appointment. Please be sure to let your CodaPet vet know if you have planned for such a burial.
Note: Your vet can only assist with cremation options, and does not handle burials of any type.
If you have a larger pet, your vet may need the help of a friend or family member. When your vet contacts you prior to your appointment, talk to them about options and limitations, and they will inform you of any extra cost for your situation.
Options for your pet's return home and memorabilia depend on your local provider. Your vet will coordinate the return of your pet’s ashes and let you know if there are additional fees for urn delivery.
During in-home pet euthanasia, your veterinarian will first ensure your pet is comfortable by administering a gentle sedative, allowing your pet to relax peacefully. Once fully sedated, the veterinarian will give the euthanasia solution, which painlessly stops your pet's heart within moments. You'll have as much time as needed to say goodbye, and afterward, your veterinarian will discuss aftercare options with you, such as cremation or burial arrangements.

Knowing when it’s time often involves observing your pet’s quality of life closely. Key signs include persistent pain, loss of appetite, decreased mobility, difficulty breathing, and loss of interest in activities they once enjoyed. Trust your instincts—if your pet has more bad days than good, it might be time. Discussing these concerns with your veterinarian can also provide valuable clarity.

I cannot praise Dr. Gary enough. He came into my home with empathy and professionalism. Euthanizing my 13 year old bulldog was one of the hardest things I've ever done. I feed my little guy Belgian chocolate while Dr. Gary administered a sedative. He barely gave him a glance as he enjoyed those chocolate treats. He passed away happy and without the stress of a vet visit. I am forever grateful. Thank you.
Dr. Noe helped put our 20 year old cat to rest. When we put our two other pets to sleep they were awful experiences due to the veterinary offices and their actions. Our cat and dog were mishandled and panicked. She explained the process well, made us feel comfortable during an awful time and made Smokie comfortable until her last breath. She also made some paw prints for us and put her in a blanket in a basket on her way out so we knew our cat was in good hands. Home euthanasia is highly recommended to those parents that don't want to give their babies the added stress of a car ride and a vet office. The price was very reasonable compared to going to the vet the last time we put down our loved one.
Dr Mitchell Could not have been better. Gentle, patient, compassionate, thorough. My baby did not suffer any anxiety whatsoever and had the most peaceful passing. So much better than the traditional animal hospital euthanasia. Worth every penny of the fee. Will highly recommend to friends & coworkers that may need her service.
After 18 wonderful years with my sweet Tinker, it was finally time to say goodbye. A year earlier, I had spoken with my vet about when and how to make this decision, knowing the day would eventually come. After managing kidney failure, hyperthyroidism, and other health issues for as long as we could, her body began to give out. We called CodaPet at 5 p.m. on a Tuesday for an emergency in-home euthanasia appointment, knowing in our hearts that Tinker wouldn’t make it through the night. The receptionist was compassionate and professional—she helped finalize the payment and offered keepsake options. Dr. Kristen Stukey stayed in touch with us about her arrival time and arrived just three hours after our call. Dr. Kristen and the CodaPet team made an incredibly difficult experience as peaceful and gentle as it could possibly be. For such a heartbreaking day, I have no regrets about making that call. This is such a challenging field—one that demands deep empathy and strength—and I’m incredibly grateful for the love and care they showed. With so much love, thank you.
Dr. White was so kind and gentle with our 11 year old English Mastiff. Our dog was scared and disliked the vet offices. We loved our dog so much but it was time due to multiple safety issues with her heart condition and her collapsing. The Doctor made it peaceful. My dog was comfortable with her. The 3 step process made it painless. Our whole family was there to support and say goodbye. We thank CodaPet and Dr. White very much. We are sad to see her go but we know we did the right thing.
Dr. Amy Roberts was understanding, kind and gentle with us, our Kenny and our other 2 dogs. We will use CodaPet - At Home Pet Euthanasia in the future. Our boy was on his bed in his favorite spot on the hearth with me, my husband and his adopted siblings. I think it was important for our other dogs to witness their family member pass. Thank you for providing a valuable service for loving pet owners.
