At-Home Pet Euthanasia

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
This reflects the cost associated with the distance a licensed vet will need to travel should your location fall outside their regular service area.
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. Torres made this tragic moment for our family a much easier transition than we ever expected. She was so gentle with Nelli. When she arrived she explained what to expect. She encouraged us to live on Nelli and talk to her during the procedure. She made paw prints and nose prints for us and a key chain with Nelli’s hair. She was very kind to our entire family. We would recommend her to anyone that found themselves needing to make the hard decision of a humane euthanasia for their pet.
Our beloved furry baby crossed the rainbow bridge after 17 beautiful years with us. Knowing how difficult this moment would be, we chose at-home euthanasia with Dr. Cassandra Lewis—and it was the most compassionate decision we could have made. She was incredibly kind, gentle, and respectful, guiding us through every step with care and empathy. Despite the heartbreak, she created a peaceful and comforting environment that meant so much to our family. From the bottom of my heart, if you ever have to make this difficult decision for your pet, I wholeheartedly recommend reaching out to her. She truly makes an unbearable moment feel a little more bearable.
Dr. Laura was amazing dealing with this situation. She was super informative throughout the whole process and made sure our sweet girl was comfortable throughout. I highly recommend.
Dr. Causey showed genuine caring for our dog Luna. Dr. Causey examined her and agreed it was time for her to pass. That eased our anxiety over the timing of this event. Dr. Causey was very gentle and loving to Luna during the whole process. Even after Luna had passed Dr. Causey adjusted her position so Luna looked more comfortable for the trip back to Dr. Causey’s office for cremation. Dr. Causey informed us what to expect at all times during the event. It is truly a gift to be able to hold our beloved pet and her feel our love as she passed.
We are so thankful Dr. Gary helped us with our fifteen-year-old cat, Buddy. His kindness and compassion made a heartbreaking event a little bit easier. He’s genuine and caring and made sure we had time to say and do all that we needed to before Buddy passed. We are forever grateful.
Dr. Jem Scott-Emuakpor is a true credit to her profession. We all dread this decision and question ourselves every step of the process and there is no one better to guide you than Dr. Jem Scott-Emuakpor. We had set up the appointment and I panicked, Dr. Jem called me and not only answered all my questions and concerns but did so with so much care and understanding. When the day came she showed so much care and concern for not only Caroline, my husband and myself but also our other 2 dogs and how they could be feeling. While I will be forever heartbroken and miss my sweet Caroline, I am at peace because of Dr. Jem Scott-Emuakpor.
