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.

Dr. Kelly Stern is a compassionate veterinarian. She cares a great deal about her patients and their comfort. She is excellent at explaining medical terminology in a pet owner friendly way. I would recommend her services to anyone.

When it became time for our 16-year-old rescue Scottie mix to cross the Rainbow Bridge, we used CodaPet, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. The online scheduling was incredibly user-friendly, allowing us to coordinate a visit quickly during a high-stress time. The service was prompt, but never felt rushed. The Doctor was knowledgeable and deeply caring, providing a full explanation of every step of the process so there were no surprises. Most importantly, our dog was treated with the utmost respect. After she passed peacefully, the staff gave us the alone time we needed to say our final goodbyes. When it was time to leave, they carried her off with great dignity—wrapped in a warm blanket and placed in a woven basket. Since the visit, they have followed up via email to express their condolences and provided a helpful list of grief support groups. If you are looking for a service that balances medical expertise with genuine human compassion, I highly recommend CodaPet. They helped us ensure our girl had a peaceful trip to the other side to meet her friends, Lucy and Molly."

Dr. Stephanie Norman was wonderful to help with the passing of my beloved dog after 17 years. She was patient, sensitive to my dog and my needs, and communicated everything as she was doing it and before to prepare me. She helped make the hardest decision feel like a peaceful passing.

This was such a peaceful and special experience with my 14 year old husky. Dr. Stukey was so professional, yet personable. She left and we all said we wanted to be her friend! I was so emotional about this situation but am beyond grateful I was able to do it at my home, in our everyday environment. I couldn't imagine driving home in a quiet car from the vet office...
