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.

It was a difficult decision to euthanize my cat, Romulus. But I realized it was time. A friend recommended CodaPet. Dr.Elizabeth Parks came to my home and explained each step in the process. She made sure I had definitely made this choice. She was calming, helping him relax by petting and talking to him. She asked if I was ready for the final injection. She was just as kind to me as him. Afterwards she left for several minutes giving me time to say "goodbye ". One of the things that touched me the most was when she came in with a flannel covered cat bed. Gently she placed Romulus in the center then covered him up to his chin with a matching blanket. He looked so peaceful like a sleeping baby. I was crying sad/happy tears. Sad because I was losing a beloved pet. But I was glad he'd been at home with familiar items, he could see the birds outside, listen to music which was always playing. It was beautiful. I highly recommend euthanasia at home. So much easier on the pet and the parent. Thank you Dr. Elizabeth.

As a veterinarian who knows Dr DuBose, I appreciate her compassion, professionalism and care for in home euthanasias. She provides an excellent service that is thoughtful, respectful and unhurried. I would not hesitate to recommend her services to anyone seeking a peaceful, dignified goodbye for their pet.

The entire experience was even better than I expected. Dr. Briell was friendly, approachable, and casual while still being professional. The status updates prior to my appointment were what every company should strive for! I had ample opportunities to ask questions, express concerns, and generally be in charge of the situation. The 4-hour prior cancellation policy was very thoughtful, enabling me to make the appointment knowing I could change my mind. Dr Briell excelled in getting business done and explaining things while still being 90% focused on my loved one. She distracted when helpful, and asked questions that encouraged me to recall some of the great times I had with Chloe. She was easy with information, confirming the appropriateness of my decision, while indicating she was always open to offering alternate solutions to a particular situation. She was also quite detailed in her descriptions of what was going to happen and asking me for confirmations with each step. Dr. Briell has built her own business around helping our beloved pet transition easily and comfortably to their happy place, and I am and will be eternally grateful.

This was our first time using at home euthanasia. I would highly recommend if you are able to do this please do. The doctor was one of the most compassionate doctors that I have ever met. The compassion she had towards us as a family , and our beloved pet of 20 years was absolutely amazing. She took her time with our daughter who grew up with our dog since she was a little girl. The true definition of a soul dog. I thank her from the bottom of our hearts. The appointment process online was easy to follow. I would highly recommend that if you need to make this decision please use this company.

Dr. Alex Pruett helped us through an incredibly difficult, sad day with so much compassion. She is an angel on earth. The care she provided to our family and our furry family member was so dignified.

12/26/25 We were told Our family dog Wyatt (13yrs.) has Osteosarcoma, which I highly suspected cancer anyways because the poor boy was riddled with bumps. I was not ready when they told me it was a very aggressive cancer and had already eaten through his front leg bone, hence the reason he couldn't use it. unfortunately, he declined fast. We had to make a very hard decision. I recommend taking the survey on Codapet's website if you have any reserves on doing Euthanasia. It brought forth the answers of the questions I asked myself over & over, ya know, if this is truly the only way. I mustered up the strength to call. From the first conversation all the way to Wyatt's departure, Dr. Alexandra Loughmiller was very professional with what all she had to do. She explained everything in the beginning of the visit, answered any, and all questions. She did what she had to do at one end and we all were able to gather around him giving all the attention and love we could and just focused on our furbaby in his last moments. He was able to be face to face with his humans, in the comfort of his bed, in his home. I wish every owner would choose this option for their furbabies when it's time. Dr. Alexandra Loughmiller is very caring, polite, informative, and respectful. After he had passed, she even stepped outside to give us all the private time we needed with our Wyatt boy. Highly recommended Codapet to be at your service in the most depressing, and vulnerable time of your life. If you are blessed to be appointed Dr. Alexandra Loughmiller, you will feel so grateful to have had her by your side in those final moments with your furbaby. Thank You Codapet and Thank You even more, Dr. Alexandra Loughmiller❤️
