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.

After a 6 month fight with lymphoma, our family pet was nearing the end of her life. She refused to eat or drink, was not longer vocal, and was rendered almost completely immobile. Our primary vet suggested it was time, so we scheduled an appointment to “put her down” a few days later. We were devastated but committed to making sure she felt as comfortable and loved as possible in her remaining days. I turned to a generative AI for advice. “In Home Euthanasia” was repeatedly mentioned in my results - I wasn’t aware this service existed. I located a local palliative care veterinarian who was otherwise unavailable, which required me to broaden my search to determine if a similar practitioner might travel from Fresno or Bakersfield (both approximately an hour drive away) to assist. The travel fee for coming to our family home in Tulare was reasonable, especially under the circumstances. We were so blessed to find Dr. Whala. Our cat didn’t realize she was in the presence of a vet. Dr. Whala was kind, patient, and gentle with our Kitty, and incredibly empathetic with my wife and I. Though we questioned whether we were doing the “right” thing up until the last moment, once the process was over, it was clear we’d made the correct choice in choosing in-home euthanasia. Our cat barely flinched during the process (which was slow and steady, loving and intentional), and passed peacefully, in our home, with no noticeable anticipation, unafraid, in the presence of the people who loved her most. I couldn’t recommend this process or Dr. Whala enough!! Thank you for providing this invaluable service and for being so kind to us and to Kitty, Dr. Whala!
Dr. Phillips and staff made this as easy as possible in this difficult time, with kindness, patience and true compassion. I am so glad that I chose CodaPet services.
There is no good way to lose a loved friend and companion. We are grateful to have found Dr. Ortman when our AB “Zeke” began to rapidly decline in health due to NCL. Dr. Ortman was professional and empathetic while he provided us with the very best care. He was well organized, prepared, and able to guide us through the euthanasia process. He was gentle and kind to Zeke. Dr. Ortman’s care and expertise enabled Zeke to pass gently and peacefully with the love he deserved. Dr. Ortman also helped us move toward healing by enhancing our understanding of Zeke’s condition. That knowledge gave us comfort in knowing that we made the only decision possible to spare Zeke from further suffering. Not every case is without hope. If your pet is suffering, Dr. Ortman also offers a Quality of Life consultation. I would trust him to provide sound recommendations for any of our pets and I believe you can, as well. God Bless
Dr. Elizabeth was incredible. She calmly walked us through the process and allowed questions to be asked. She gracefully stepped into the space, connected with our dear dog and assessed the different personalities in the room. This was the best way in which we could honor this difficult time and we are grateful to Dr. Elizabeth.
Thank you to Dr Keri and all of CodaPet. Our sweet boy gets car sick and I didn't want him to feel anxious or rushed in his last moments. It was a very calm and peaceful experience. Dr Keri listened to us and to Miko throughout the whole process. I would recommend this route for anyone who has to say goodbye to their fur baby. Thank you again, it meant the world to us.
I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Laura. She came to our home to help us say goodbye to our 12 year old cat, and she was absolutely amazing. She explained exactly what was going to happen, was calm and professional, and so kind. She never rushed us and helped me cope through an incredibly painful moment. I’m deeply thankful for the compassion and respect she showed our cat and our family.
