I can’t even begin to explain how amazing CodaPet and Dr. Kristen was during this extremely difficult time. She made the whole process seamless from the time I booked the appointment to when I received my cat’s ashes back. Dr. Kristen has a heart of gold and couldn’t be any more perfect for this challenging line of work. She explained the process from start to finish and was so respectful and empathetic to us and my beloved cat. I can’t recommend her enough. Thank you for everything you do!

Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in Columbus, OH

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. Dixon provided such empathetic and knowledgeable care on a very difficult day. She took care of everything and we never doubted Frankie was loved and cared for by her from the moment she entered our home to the moment she returned his ashes. Could not more highly recommend Dr. Dixon! We will utilize her services as long as we live in Central Oregon.

During such a difficult time recognizing that our 12 year old lab had reached the end of his life, we were comforted to find an option for in home euthanasia. Dr. Lowman was incredible kind and compassionate. She explained the process and made sure we were ready and had time to say our goodbyes.

Dr. Kristen was great. She handled everything with perfect sensitivity and consideration. She even was able to adjust her schedule to come a few hours earlier. I can’t thank her enough for her expertise and care on one of the hardest days of my life.

Dr Natalie Dennis was wonderful. She was caring and compassionate. It was very peaceful. They responded promptly to my inquiry and were upfront about the services provided and the cost. It made my furbabies passing a less traumatic experience. Would highly recommend.

Dr Kristen was incredibly empathetic, was gentle with our puppers and went above and beyond after the cremation service royally messed up. We appreciated her prompt service as our beloved was suffering. We cannot say enough about her service and her professionalism, as well as her sympathy.
