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.

When we found out that our dog Hercules was diagnosed with Lymphoma and given only weeks to live, we were devastated! He was only 4 years old and was such a good dog. I was terrified of the idea of euthanizing my baby. I couldn't imagine that my dog's last moment was going to be at the Vet's office. A friend of mine told me about in-home pet euthanasia and explained every detail of their experience. Although our hearts were torn, we decided that not only was it the best service for our family, but it was also the best for Hercules. Everything was explained so well, step by step, in a manner in which our children were comfortable with saying goodbye to their friend at home. Each last moment that was spent with him was filled with sadness, joy, and hope. We were honored to be there for him as he transitioned. Although we were sad to let him go, we were happy that he met a peaceful and dignified end. We decided to have Herculese cremated and brought back home. I received a beautiful urn and my fur baby will be at home with me forever. I highly recommend Dr Briell Dzierga at CodaPet!
We are so incredibly grateful for Dr. Chapman. She brought such a gentle, compassionate presence during one of the most heartbreaking moments of our lives. We chose in home euthanasia so our sweet Dakota could be in the comfort of his home, surrounded by his family and furry siblings and we have absolutely no regrets. Dr. Chapman made a painful goodbye feel peaceful and full of love. We’ll forever be thankful for her kindness.
I just want to say how grateful I am for Dr. Goldthwaite. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs to say goodbye to their loving pet. She did a wonderful job getting us through a really difficult situation. Don't hesitate to hire her!
Dr. Pickett was very professional and understanding. We had a short conversation on the phone before her arrival. I felt confident that I was doing the best thing for my cat. The doctor stayed w me until we were sure my cat had peacefully gone to sleep and his soul had left his poor sick body. I felt relieved that my kitty didn't have to spend his final moments being scared by a car ride and vet visit at a cold clinic. Yes it was more money than I could afford, but the peace of mind was worth it. My little old sick Poncho is now at peace and out of his misery. He left in peace and purred all the way to the end. I miss him terribly. The Dr was kind and did her job. I know it must have been difficult for her to do. I am grateful to have this service in my home. Dr Pickett was perfect.
We are deeply grateful to Dr. Stukey for the compassionate care and kindness she showed during one of the most difficult moments our family has faced. Saying goodbye to our cherished dog, Archer, was heartbreaking, but being able to do so at home made all the difference for Archer and us. Dr. Stukey approached every step with gentleness, empathy, and patience. She explained everything clearly, gave us all the time we needed, and treated Archer with the dignity and love he deserved. One detail that meant so much to us was the way she prepared a cozy, respectful space for Archer’s final journey—complete with a cute blanket, soft pillows and silk flowers. It was beautiful and deeply moving. Her quiet, respectful presence brought comfort in a moment filled with sorrow. It takes a special kind of person to do this work with such grace and heart. We will never forget how she helped ease Archer’s passing, allowing him to leave us peacefully, surrounded by love and familiarity. Thank you, Dr. Stukey, for helping us say goodbye in the most meaningful and compassionate way possible.
Dr. Karen Duncan is a loving beautiful soul, an angel. Words cannot express our sincere gratitude. She was so kind, caring and compassionate walking us through the entire process. Having to euthanize a fur baby is one of the hardest things to do. Dr. Karen understood how hard this was for us to lose our sweet 16-year-old kitty, Mickey. She took the time to listen, let us share how special our fur baby Mickey was/is. Her presence and demeanor made all of us feel comfortable. We were able to pet Mickey and love him up in his last final moments – a true blessing as we know he passed peacefully and gracefully. Dr. Karen gave us time to say one last final goodbye, making sure his younger brothers and sister had time to say goodbye as well. She then, with the utmost of kindness, wrapped Mickey in a blanket and placed him in a beautiful basket. We highly recommend Dr. Karen and Codapet to anyone who loves their pet as family and is faced with the difficult decision to euthanize.
