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.

Dr. Briell Dzierga was amazing. She made sure that everything went as smooth and easy as possible for the circumstance. She explained the process and how it would take place and helped ease our minds for this difficult decision. She made sure our beloved dog was as comfortable as possible during the whole process as well. I would highly recommend her to anyone faced with this tough situation.

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.

Review by Andrea White

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!

Our girl had liver cancer and after a long fight it was time to help her cross the rainbow bridge. We’re so very grateful that we went with CodaPet for our in home pet euthanasia. Though we’re very sad to see her go, we were thankful that she got to be home with us in her comfort and had a peaceful crossover. Dr.Nicole Michelli’s professionalism, empathy, and kindness in these difficult times will forever be remembered. Can’t recommend them enough if this is the unfortunate journey you find yourself in. 🫶 RIP My Pretty Kitty girl. 💕

So very Thankful for Dr. Gordon! We feel very blessed that we got to say goodbye to Our Gypsy girl in the most peaceful way! Gypsy was in her home and surrounded by what she knew and loved. Dr.Gordon and Gypsy became instant friends and I truly believe Gypsy knew she was here to help her. One of the hardest days of our lives, was also a beautiful blessing.
