FAQs

The total cost includes the in-home pet euthanasia service fee, any travel fee (if any apply), and a platform fee. Additionally, depending on your choice, fees may apply for cremation services or keepsakes.

During your appointment, your vet will confirm your aftercare selection with you. If you choose to arrange cremation services, your vet will oversee your pet’s transportation to a local facility for cremation. If your preferred cremation option includes the return of your pet’s ashes to you, your vet will discuss the process to reunite you with your pet's ashes and the anticipated time frame during your appointment

Yes, upon arrival the veterinarian will assess your pet. This can look different than an “nose to tail” examination in a clinic setting and will focus more on the pet’s history and quality of life.

It is not uncommon to have doubts about whether the time is right. If you’ve taken the Quality of Life Questionnaire and are still unsure, we recommend consulting with your family veterinarian before scheduling an appointment.

Rest assured, if you book an appointment, your in-home euthanasia veterinarian will let you know if they do not believe that euthanasia is appropriate at this time.

You can expect your veterinarian to be in your home from 20-60 minutes, depending on how much of that time you need or want throughout the process.

I wish I could give Codapet a thousand stars! First reason is how easy it was to schedule online without having to call someone and wait on the phone for them to answer, especially when you're upset. Second, all pricing is listed without no hidden fees. But the main reason is the veterinarian they provide. There couldn't have been a better person than Dr. Walden. The time I scheduled turned out it wasn't going to be right because my Tinkerbell was in distress and passing quickly.Dr. Walden,whom I was able to text her and she gave up some of her personal time and come to us quickly! She was so caring and respectful to my little dog and us. There was no rush or "Business talk" because everything had been taken care of online. We also had cremation arranged in our package and Dr. Walden took her to the crematory. She was very gentle with my little dog the whole process. Even days after she was making sure everything had gone well with the crematory. The crematory they have a contract with ( Faithful companion) were also nice people from their phone calls to the young person who brought me Tinkerbell's ashes back. They provided a beautiful footprint and wooden box urn at no extra charge and resources for grieving pet parents. I couldn't have asked for anything better for my beloved pet to pass at home surrounded by loved ones and a caring compassionate veterinarian.

Dr Lisa Littlejohn was fantastic. She explained every step of the process. She was very comforting to my German Shepherd and My wife and I. She showed much compassion and helped us feel at ease. I would highly recommend Dr Lisa Littlejohn for at home Euthanasia. Rest In Peace my Sophia girl.

I am forever grateful for this service provided. Everything was made easy during our very difficult time from making the appointment online, communication, and complete compassion we received from Dr. Lutri in our home. Everything was done extremely well and made a positive experience. I would recommend 10/10. Thank you again Dr. Lutri you are an angel.

We’ve both been through this many times. Each of our pups and one cat have all had their own personalities and we’ve loved them like they were our kids. (Yes, we’re the DINK couple that, when new parents would tell cute stories about their progeny, we’d respond by showing some of the thousand pics of Bingo on our phones. But with pups, a hundred thousand hours of happiness will always end in a few, tremendously sad hours. I know the story’s end from “Chapter 1; The Adoption”. That’s why I need to say this; there are super special people in this world who perform the task. In the past, we’ve gone to the vet’s office which was fine in its way but then we learned of veterinarians who come into your home. We’ve done this twice now and despite how much we like and respect our vets the kindness, compassion, sympathy and professionalism of the traveling vets has been overwhelming. They’ve laughed and cried with us. They’ve made paw prints. They listened and assured us we were making the right decision. So a huge THANKS to Dr. Jessica Mumm with Coda Pet who guided Waffles to the Rainbow Bridge yesterday. Waffles, say hi to Meka. I know you two are goofing off and having an exciting and pain-free reunion. Meka, introduce Waffles to Bob and Finnigan and Bingo. Have fun. Eat tasty stuff and bark at squirrels. We’ll see you all when it’s our time.
