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.

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!

I've had to help many pets over the years cross the rainbow bridge. This is the first time I chose in home euthanasia and it was so peaceful. For me and for my fur baby. It definitely was worth the extra cost to not have to pack him up and drive him to the veterinarian to have his last moments on an exam table. He passed peacefully in my arms as we cuddled on the couch. ❤️ And I cannot recommend Dr Katie Todd enough. I have never met a more empathetic,caring and kind vet. She made his passing less painful for both of us.

I only wish that I could rate the service higher than five. My 10-year-Old Weimaraner had a lifetime of illnesses due to severe allergies, and had spent a lot of time at the vets’ office. As a result, he developed anxiety every time we enter the building. Just before Christmas, he was diagnosed as being in the final stages of CHF. We watched him rapidly, deteriorate, and knew the time was right for him to finally be at rest. Dr. Goldberg arrived on time, took the time to explain the process, and spoiled our boy with treats and affection. He spent his last hour doing the things he loved most: playing with a tennis ball, eating treats, and being held. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience!

From the very first phone call to scheduling the in home euthanasia till the final hours, the team was so comforting and understanding. When Dr Thomason arrived I was sitting on the front porch with my dog because he loved sitting in the sun. Dr Thomason sat with us allowing my dog to enjoy the warm of the sun. He welcomed her with tons of kisses and she loved on him. She allowed me the time I needed to say good bye. I would highly recommend Coda pet and Dr Thomason.

It is one of the hardest decisions. Deciding it’s your beloved dog’s time. Keri was thoughtful, kind, insightful…amazing. She made it comfortable for our Miley. Even though we will miss her so, we know it was the right thing to do.
