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.

Our old boy had reached the end and we made a painful decision to help him over the rainbow bridge. The service provided a rapid response at short notice and a very sympathetic visit. Our vet visited on time , walked us through the home experience and conducted it with the utmost respect and professionalism, she also dealt with a late change of plan without missing a step. My dog remained stress free and even my wife and I felt a lot better than at a strange vet. Thoroughly recommended for those pet parents who are wanting a respectful and stress free end for their pet. I’m sure my boy is in a better place, chasing rabbits and eating prime rib every day.

It is bittersweet sharing my in home pet euthansia experience online, but I know it might be incredibly helpful for another family. My family and I had to urgently euthanize our 11 year old Labrador Retriever but I couldn't bring myself to do it at the emergency vet. Knowing an at home euthansia experience would be better for me, my family, and my anxious dog, I was able to quickly and easily schedule online within a matter of minutes. I received a confirmation text and email, and a compassionate phone call from the providing veterinarian to confirm the appointment. The providing vet cared for our dog AND our family with respect, dignity, compassion, and professionalism. There were not any awkward conversations. After peacefully and quietly arriving to our home, the providing veterinarian offered a quick detail on what we could expect through the process. She offered us as much time as we needed and was able to answer our questions. She was quiet, patient, and moved efficiently. She was well-prepared, clean, and provided a human element of relief that we didn't know we needed. Her communication was up-front to let us know the timeline for the remains and was gentle with us throughout the entire process. Our entire family is incredibly thankful and grateful for the peace we received through one of the hardest days of our lives. I recommend Coda Pet without hesitation. If you are reading this for euthanization consideration, I am sorry for the pain you are feeling right now. Coda Pet can help make this pain one less stress for you and yoir family. Thank you, Coda Pet.

They were very compassionate. Just sitting on the floor guiding us during the process. They helped us deal with the fact that we did make the right decision. So warm and comforting. They were able to make time to come to our home when we needed them. They took care of all of the details for us. I would highly recommend Dr. Ayala.

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.
