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.

My situation was very unique. I will not get into detail. But Dr Mills was above and beyond my expectations. She is completely experienced and was as gentle and compassionate as anyone could ever ask for. She was patient, empathetic and caring. She treated Dale like he had been her own. From beginning till he had passed. I'm only sharing this photo to show how gently and with great care she swaddled Dale in his favorite cloth. If and when I ever have to go through this again. There is no place or person I would use but Dr Mills.

Saying goodbye to our girl Jolene in the safety and comfort of our home was priceless. Dr. Whala’s compassion and gentleness eased our spirits as we said goodbye to Jolene.

Dr Jessica Mumms was incredibly kind in her approach. No one ever wants to put a pet down but the service she provided made the process a very caring experience. I would recommend her highly and thank her for her compassionate care of our Cat Gracie and of us her parents .

Dr. Heather has helped us give two of our dogs peaceful passings this year. We only had 6 months in between, and were met both times with kindness and compassion. It’s always hard, but being able to let them pass at home makes it a little easier. Thank you, Dr. Heather!

Dr. Mumm was incredibly compassionate and gentle during such an emotional time for our family. She took the time to explain everything clearly, never rushed us, and gave us the space we needed to say goodbye with love and dignity. Her calm presence brought so much comfort, and we are deeply grateful for her care. I would highly recommend having her involved in this difficult process. Thank you for making a very difficult day a little easier! ❤️

I cannot recommend CodaPet for at home pet euthanasia highly enough. Although it is devastating to face the loss of our dog, Django, Dr. Elizabeth Parks nevertheless made his final day a good one. He even got to eat cookies and peanut butter cups for the first time! Elizabeth is knowledgeable, completely respectful, and, most of all, very kind. She gave us answers to our questions, time to process each step, and quiet and compassionate support during a very difficult time. THANK YOU Elizabeth and CodaPet for giving us a quiet and celebratory goodbye to our much-loved dog!
