At-Home Assessment

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.

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.

Dr. Claire made an unbearable day a lot better. She communicated in a way that was comforting. She made sure we knew what to expect. She was extremely kind to me and explained every step in detail. Oliver was my best friend and she understood my pain. She came to my home so I did not have to have Oliver have any additional stress as he was an anxious dog around strangers. She cares! Highly recommended! Thank you Dr. Claire ♥️
Dr. Bates was wonderful to us and our dog during her final moments. She was extremely professional, very communicative about the process, and incredibly kind. I felt my pup was in great hands and she was completely comfortable when she passed. She gave us space to grieve and was additionally super sweet to our other animals.
We had to put our oldest dog down 6 days before we had to put Tate down and we used lap of love and I'm going to tell you the experience between the two or night and day. I will never ever recommend or use this company or that doctor again. Not only did I feel judged as she kept repeating how dehydrated my dog was, but my 17-year-old daughter felt judged as well. She didn't take any time and showed no compassion. Her bedside manner was horrible and it almost seemed as though she rushed us through the process. Lap of love was here for an hour. We were giving our dog treats. We were petting him. She asked when we were ready. She left the room after administering the first dose that puts him to sleep to give us privacy and then she left again when he passed so we can say our goodbyes and gave us privacy. Put him on a stretcher with blankets and carried them out to the car. This doctor puts my dog in a body bag (and I didn't appreciate that. She called it a body bag) in a basket. And then I felt completely blindsided when I went into my driveway where her car was parked to ask if I could change the urn and her boyfriend or husband was sitting in the driver seat waiting for her with a puppy in the car. My husband later then said that he was very unhappy with her and that he was wondering why the car was running in the driveway the whole time. That is insane and you charge $1,000 for this? I would have paid $2,000 for lap of love to come back out. Unfortunately they didn't have any doctors available. Tate was my best friend for 14 years. This has been a devastating loss for me and I am extremely extremely disappointed and upset with how this doctor handled the situation. I know she was dehydrated. She didn't have to keep saying it over and over again. I took her to the vet the day before and they did blood work and found out that morning that she was in kidney failure. I did everything that I could for my dog and then I knew it was time. She is the worst doctor ever. I will never recommend this company and I will never get that horrible experience out of my head. She should not be allowed around dogs and leaving her car running in the driveway with her husband or boyfriend or whoever it was in the car. And then she hands me some crappy death certificate. When we got our other dog's ashes back from the crematorium they had so many nice things in a bag to give us including his death certificate which was printed out and pretty and nice. Not a piece of copy paper that she just jotted the name and date down on. It was very very disrespectful and very hard. She has no compassion or bedside manner and I'm very disappointed. Again. I would never recommend this company to anybody, especially not that doctor. She did not care about my dog or my family.
Dr. Roberts was amazing and took the time our family needed with Scrappy to make sure he was as comfortable as possible during his last moments. Thank you Amy for making one of the hardest times of our lives a little more bearable.
Dr. Daniela Lutri has such a calming presence. She was able to accommodate my family and she listened to how I wanted to spend the last few moments with my precious cat. We miss her but we are glad my cat was able to pass stress free in her own home.
Dr. Lutri was Absolutely Amazing!!! She was SO Kind and Compassionate, loving and caring to both our dog and to our entire family. This was one of the most difficult goodbyes of any pet my family and I has ever had to endure, Dr. Lutri understood that, and therefore took all the time our family needed to say goodbye. I truly cannot thank her enough for what she did. Dr. Lutri, my family and I love you, and will cherish your kindness to us forever, Thank you again!
