When my beloved 15-year-old tuxedo cat could no longer support himself on one rear leg due to a tumor in his hip, had lost much of his muscle mass, and was ready to give up his struggle, Dr. Rexing came to help him on his final journey. The Big Guy, aka Share Khan, was a tough old alley cat who got to retire on a farm in country. He didn’t generally like people, but he chose me to be his human and showed me a lot of love and affection over the years, he deserved the best passing possible. Dr. Rexing gave him that. She treated the patient, my boy, with abundant care, compassion, empathy, warmth, love and respect; while exercising the utmost professionalism, precision, diligence, and skill. She touched him gently with genuine loving care. My heart tells me that the Big Guy felt no pain or anxiety. Dr. Rexing took the time to explain every step of the process, every step of the procedure. She examined the patient to be sure that there was no likelihood of cure or recovery, and that euthanasia was the right thing to do. She continually assured us that there was no hurry. Dr. Rexing treated the moment with all the reverence that it deserved. In contrast, I asked a local vet if they did home visits for euthanasia, their answer was: “Yeah, sure, I can do that, we usually schedule those for lunch hours.” You can just imagine. I wouldn’t want my guy to go out like that, with a vet just going through the motions, anxious to get back to their busy practice. A pet’s passing from this life is the most solemn and sacred moment between them and their family; it was a true blessing to have a vet like Dr. Rexing, who understands and believes this. She even made a special trip out of her area, on a holiday, to come to us. For all of the forgoing reasons, if you are faced with a similar sad situation, I give a full-hearted and unequivocal recommendation for Dr. Rexing to care for your pet in their last moments. I also want to praise Codapet’s Coordinator, Jessica, with whom I spoke several times on the phone, who made all the arrangements for Dr. Rexing to come to our home. She genuinely cared; it was not just a job for her. She likewise exhibited enormous compassion, empathy, and warmth, sharing tears with me in fact, while still being professional and highly competent. Plus, she has kept in touch to make sure we were all doing well.

Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in Bowling Green, KY

Your credit card is required to reserve your appointment. However, no payment is required until the appointment and nothing is due until the appointment is completed

We charge cancellation fee of $100 if an appointment is cancelled less than 4 hours before the start time. If your pet passes away before your appointment you would not be charged a cancellation fee. If the vet you scheduled is able, and you would like their assistance with cremation, then pickup fee would apply instead of euthanasia fee

Other Consideration

If you have a larger pet, your vet may need the help of one friend or family member. Talk to your vet about options and limitations when they reach out to you prior to your appointment, and they will inform you of any extra cost for your situation. 

Options for your pets return home and memorabilia depend on your local provider. Your vet coordinate the return of your pet’s ashes and let you know if there are additional fees for urn delivery. 

Extra time or medications needed can affect the total price. Other factors can be if it is decided that it’s not time to euthanize your pet after the vet has arrive. In that case, only the travel fee, platform fee, and a quality of life consult would apply. 

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 Christina, was very sweet to my Febe. I wanted Febe's last moments at home with her family. She was a happy girl and she is missed terribly. But this was so much easier for her. Thank You so much for being there for us.

This was one of the toughest experiences our family has experienced. Dr. Marlene was very professional, compassionate and informative. She made us feel very comfortable and secure in our decision to euthanize our sweet Cali Girl. I would highly recommend CodaPet.

I had to say goodbye to my 10-year-old Great Dane, Hendrix, in September. I knew I wanted him to be at home, surrounded by his favorite people and as comfortable as possible. This is still a little fresh, so I won’t recount the entire experience, but I feel extremely fortunate that we ended up with Dr. Stukey. She was incredibly professional and considerate. She explained every step before proceeding and always made sure we were ready. Hendrix was often shy around new people, but he took to her immediately. He was calm and comfortable, and everything went as peacefully as I could have hoped for.

The person I spoke to when looking for a vet to come out for same day euthanasia was extremely insensitive. No compassion, just fill in the form questions being asked. She even argued with me about the town I live in! It was obviously just a call service and her smoke alarm battery was beeping!!! Horrible horrible horrible.

It is such an emotional time when you have to put your beloved pet down. I thought and prayed hard when my little pup Rocky wasn't getting well; he was only getting worse. After signing up online, I was contacted right away, by Dr Andrea Dover. She was able to come when I chose, only a day or two later. She was so good with Rocky. He was totally comfortable with her. After initial consultation, I carried Rocky to my bed, which I thought would provide maximum comfort and relaxation. I held him as he lay there, staring close into his sweet face. I talked to him the whole time, as Dr Dover administered the injections. Rocky didn't seem to notice Dr Dover was there or doing anything. I was free to coddle him and talk to him, and he was listening. We were truly at one during this process. I didn't want to get overly upset, and just let the tears flow as I gave him love, smiles of reassurance and promises to see him again in heaven. Afterward, Dr Dover gently gathered him in a soft blanket and placed him in a perfect-sized basket. Rocky was at peace, his sweet little face looked like he was sleeping, all warm and cozy in the blanket imprinted with hearts. It was so hard to let him go, but there couldn't have been a better way. Dr Andrea is very intuitive, gentle, and kind. She appeared to me very God-centered in her work. I was so grateful that it was her there with me. It's been tough, but lately I have been having exquisite dreams of Rocky running to me, just like he used to do when he was well. He's all excited to see me, full of energy, having fun and feeling so happy. I think that's a good sign. I believe my little Pumpkin (which I often called him), is at peace now and one day we will be together again. Last night, I dreamt I was offering him a bowl of pumpkin!

Dr. Lori Thomas was wonderful. She was communicative, patient, and supportive of our wishes. Helping our 13 year old Grey tabby, Zeus, cross the rainbow bridge was one of the most difficult decisions we had to endure, but the simplicity of scheduling the appointment on CodaPet and reading helpful articles on what to expect from the process helped immensely. We’re so glad we could help Zeus cross over in the comfort of our home. I would definitely recommend CodaPet.
