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.

We understand end-of-life care for your beloved pet can be unpredictable. We provide support and flexibility during this sensitive time.

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. Learn more with our Complete Guide to Pet Euthanasia.

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.

She gave careful attention to who we were and what would matter to us. She could not possibly have done a better job in any way whatsoever. Our dog Sarah was taken great care of from start to finish. I will tell anybody I talk to about my loss how great she was to all of us. Me, my husband and my other dog Nikki were all close to Sarah to help comfort her. And Sarah was taken care of right where she was in her comfort zone with her favorite view.

We needed to put down our sixteen year old lab . I called her office to see wha were my choices for having her come to my home which she did. Bo our dog was very special to me he had been with me through a tough time in my life He was always with no matter what. Dr. Vernon came to my home she was so compassionate and caring. She walked us through what she was going to do and during each step she gave us time with Removing a 110 pound lab is not easy but she allowed me to wrap Bo in his blanket and then her and my husband took him out on a stretcher He looked so peaceful I miss him but I was fortunate to have Dr Vernon to be the one to help him cross over

Dr. Delia could not have been more compassionate in her work with me and my dog. Her presence, gentleness and pacing all contributed to a peaceful process at this heartbreaking time. Would recommend her to anyone facing the same situation.

Mac was my first pet- my kitty cat of 18 years. I consider myself very fortunate to have had him as a buddy for so long. So when he showed signs of his time being up, I knew from a friend -in home pet euthanasia- was a peaceful goodbye. Dr. John Murray was beyond thoughtful and professional with amazing bedside manner. Mac had a wonderful last day at home and I held him in my arms as we said goodbye. It was beyond hard, but I also wouldn’t have it any other way looking back. Mac hated his car carrier, the car, a vet office is so cold. We were in our beautiful, sunny room, comfortable and well, I’d want to go the same way! Thank you again for being so wonderful to our sweet baby.

Dr. Yang is wildly empathetic and kind. I could not have asked for a better person to help my dog cross the rainbow bridge. She was professional and allowed me to mourn in the moment and explained everything she was doing before she did it to ease my mind. I highly recommend her and can’t thank her enough for helping out in such a hard moment.

Dr. DiGenova was very kind and respectful and gentle with our boy. My parents were really reluctant in having him put to sleep but after seeing how careful Dr. DiGenova was and how peaceful he was at the end they truly believed they made the right decision. I can’t thank her enough. After when he was ready to come home from the cremation Dr. DiGenova brought him back home to us. Thank You!
