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.

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 DeVilla was absolutely awesome with us. My granddaughters wanted to be there when our dog was heading to the rainbow bridge. She was supportive and sensitive to our needs and took wonderful care of our beloved dog.
Dr Lori is an amazing person. She was so kind, gentle and thorough. She carefully explained every step of the process. She gave us opportunity to ask questions and think things through and even change our minds along the way. We were able to help our good boy cross over feeling safe and comfortable at home with his people. Thank you so much Dr Lori.
I was very impressed with Dr. Karen Whala. She was approachable and professional. She showed a great concern and comfort Luna. She assessed her Upon arrival communicated as well. She was pleasant and compassionate throughout the time in our home gental & peaceful for Luna.
I can not say enough good things about CodaPet and Dr. Lewis. On-line scheduling was quick and easy we got an appointment same day (I requested the appointmentaround 1am and Dr. Lewis arrivedaround 6pm). With our dogs rapid decline it was absolutely necessary for her comfort as well as it was very important to us she could pass at home as we did not want her to have to go through the added stress of a trip to the vet in her last moments. Dr. Lewis was amazing to work with. She kept in contact and updated us throughout the day on ETA as well as general checking in to see how out Cassie was doing. During our appointment Dr. Lewis was kind and compassionate, she talked us through the process as well as gave us all the time we needed with Cassie. Having Cassie at home in her final moments was the best decision for our family, allowing the kids and other pets to say their good byes in the comfort of our own home was very healing and we couldn't have asked for a better experience on one of the worst days of a pet parents life.
I recommend Dr.Dover 1000%! I had to put my baby boy Romeo down after 16 years. He was with me when I was 19 and I’m now 35. He was 9 months old and a rescue when I rescued him in 2009. May 1st 2025 is the day I put my baby boy (Yorkie) to rest so as you can probably understand I wanted to make sure he was comfortable and he was able to pass in the comfort of his own home. I was hoping that he would pass away on his own but his Vet said that it was time. I called around to a few places for at home euthanasia but my heart just didn’t feel right until I found Coda pet. I was a little nervous because it wasn’t just putting a pet or animal to forever sleep, it was putting one of your family to forever sleep. So I didn’t know if bringing in a stranger would stop me from giving up the best goodbye and I didn’t want to hold back, but the moment Dr.Dover walked through my door I felt a sense of comfort and relief. She was very thorough, kind, patient and talked me through each step of the way. During the process she would periodically check in to make sure that me and my family were ok. She gave us a safe space and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to help take my baby boy over the rainbow bridge. He passed away peacefully in my arms. She let me know it was ok if I took hours or even just minutes to say goodbye. I didn’t feel rushed, judged, or scared. She talked to Romeo like he was a person and not just some animal. She was gracious, loving, caring and thoughtful. If you have any doubts, look no further, because Dr.Dover is the one. It takes a special kind of soul to do the work she does and I know because I work in hospice care and you can tell her soul is beautiful! She was so compassionate and definitely made me feel like I was doing the right thing. she validated me and made any guilt I felt, go away. My husband felt the same and we would and will definitely use her again. Thank you Dr.Dover for all that you do, you have a heart of gold and have touched our lives with your grace. We will never forget the beautiful goodbye you gave to me and my baby boy.
Dr. Brielle was hands down the most compassionate Vet my husband and I have ever come across. She evaluated the situation and helped us in making the right decision for Ben. She explained everything and was never pushy and took all the time we needed for questions in making our decision. I would highly recommend her if you are making the decision on helping your love one pass over rainbow bridge. I thought it was very reasonable and 100 percent less stressful than the emergency vet. RIP Ben, momma and daddy loves you ❤️ 💙
