Are there any low-cost or no-cost pet euthanasia solutions?

Saying goodbye to a beloved pet is never easy, and we understand that cost can be a concern for many pet parents. While we specialize in premium in-home euthanasia services, we also want to acknowledge that cost may be a concern. If you're looking for low-cost or no-cost pet euthanasia options in Florida Keys, consider reaching out to the following: Local Animal Shelters & Humane Societies – Many provide low-cost or donation-based euthanasia services, often with cremation options. Florida Keys SPCA 5711 College Rd., Key West, FL 33040 305-294-4857 Low-Cost Veterinary Clinics & Nonprofits – Some vet clinics and nonprofits offer reduced-cost euthanasia, sometimes supported by grants or donations. Animal Control Services – In certain cases, local animal control agencies may offer euthanasia services for terminally ill or suffering pets at a lower cost. Note: When considering a low-cost pet euthanasia option, it's important to call ahead to check availability, as some providers may require an appointment or have eligibility criteria, such as income-based assistance. Be sure to ask about additional costs, including cremation or aftercare services, which may not be included in the base price. Additionally, verify service details, as some options may have restrictions based on your pet’s size, health condition, or location. While low-cost options are available, many pet parents choose in-home euthanasia to ensure a peaceful, stress-free farewell in the comfort of their home. If you're looking for a private, compassionate experience, we’re here to help.

What's included in the total cost?

Your total at-home pet euthanasia cost includes three core fees: the in-home euthanasia service fee, a platform fee, and any travel fee for your location. Optional add-ons (cremation and memorial keepsakes) are priced separately. You'll see the full breakdown before you confirm your home visit. The three core fees are always included: Euthanasia service fee — the in-home visit and the procedure itself (sedation, euthanasia, and time to say goodbye) Platform fee — covers booking, vet coordination, and support Travel fee — applies based on your distance from the attending vet. Some locations have none Optional, priced separately: Cremation — private/individual (ashes returned) or communal (not returned) Memorial keepsakes — paw prints, fur clippings, urns Urgent or after-hours appointments may carry a surcharge In Florida Keys, the euthanasia service fee starts at $725, and cremation typically ranges from $225-$475 depending on the type of aftercare options you choose. Since pricing varies by location, your exact total is shown on the booking page before you confirm — there's no obligation to proceed.

What cremation options do I have?

Your pet cremation options fall into three paths: cremation with your pet's ashes returned to you (individual), communal cremation where ashes aren't returned, or handling your pet's remains yourself. Available options vary by your local veterinarian. Regardless of your choice, your vet coordinates all aftercare with their local crematorium or aquamation partner. Options where ashes are returned to you Individual cremation — pets are cremated in a large chamber but kept separated by physical barriers, so your pet's ashes stay identifiable and are returned in an urn The most common optional keepsakes when ashes are returned are paw prints, fur clippings, ink prints, and custom urns — availability varies by vet Options where ashes are not returned Communal (group) cremation — your pet is cremated respectfully alongside other pets, and the crematorium scatters their ashes in their local grounds. Typically, this is the lower-cost option. Handling your pet yourself Your vet leaves your pet with you to arrange aftercare, such as a home burial. Please review your local laws and regulations when choosing a final resting place. Your vet coordinates respectful transportation and return of your pet’s ashes whenever an "ashes returned" option is chosen. The exact options and pricing are shown when you schedule a visit with a local veterinarian.

Will the vet take my pet with them after the appointment?

Yes. If you’ve chosen cremation, your vet will respectfully transport your pet from your home to a partner crematorium after the appointment. You don’t need to do anything. Your vet will coordinate the transport, cremation, and return of your pet’s ashes. What to expect: • Your vet brings everything needed for a safe and dignified transport • You decide how much time you want before they leave. There is never a rush • If you've chosen private or individual cremation, ashes are typically returned within 2-3 weeks. This varies by vet • For larger pets (greater than 100lbs), your vet may ask for help to move your pet with dignity — they will let you know if they need your help prior to the process

What if my pet passes before the appointment?

If your pet passes peacefully at home before your scheduled appointment, please know there's no obligation to proceed and no cancellation fee. You can cancel anytime before your vet arrives, right from the link in your booking confirmation email or text. If you'd like our help with aftercare Many families still appreciate having their vet come to their home to provide aftercare. We can take your pet into our care, coordinate cremation with our local partner, and return their ashes to you, so you don't have to handle those arrangements yourself. Just let your vet or our team know, and your appointment becomes an aftercare visit instead. If you'd prefer to handle things on your own You can cancel at any time using the link in your booking confirmation (sent to you by email and text). Our usual cancellation fee doesn't apply when a pet has passed peacefully on their own. We only ask that you let your vet know when you're able, so they can be there for another family who needs them. Whatever you choose, please take all the time you need.

What is at-home pet euthanasia and how does it work?

At-home pet euthanasia is a service where a licensed veterinarian comes to your home to gently help your pet pass peacefully when it's the right time. A sedative is usually given first, so your pet drifts into a deep, comfortable sleep, followed by a final injection that allows them to pass peacefully. It is widely offered as a gentler alternative to clinic-based euthanasia. The general flow of most in-home providers While the specifics vary between providers, most in-home euthanasia services follow a similar shape: You book an appointment online or by phone with a veterinarian who serves your area The vet contacts you before the appointment to confirm details and answer questions On the day, the vet arrives at your home with what they need for a calm, unhurried visit After time with your pet, the vet administers a sedative to help them into a deep sleep. Once your pet is fully asleep, a final injection follows The vet helps coordinate aftercare, including cremation if you choose it The full appointment usually takes around half an hour to an hour, though there is no set time and the pace is yours. Differences between providers Different services use different sedation approaches, scheduling systems, pricing structures, and aftercare partnerships. Some require advance notice while others accept same-day bookings. Some include keepsakes while others do not. If you are comparing options, it is worth reaching out to a few to ask about their specific approach. You may also hear this service described as having a pet "put to sleep." Both terms describe the same gentle process. At CodaPet specifically Our booking flow shows available appointment times across the next 7 days, with the vet for each time visible alongside their photo, bio, and reviews. You can compare options side by side, see a live cost estimate as you view your options, and choose the aftercare path that fits your family. For a complete walkthrough, read our Complete Guide to Pet Euthanasia.

What should I expect during my appointment?

During an in-home pet euthanasia appointment, your vet spends unhurried time with your pet and family before the procedure itself, which is gentle and quick. A sedative is given first so your pet drifts into a peaceful sleep, then a second injection allows them to pass calmly. Most visits last around half an hour to an hour, with as much time as you need at every step. How the process will unfold: Your vet arrives in a way that's meant to fit calmly into your home with everything needed for the visit. They'll spend time getting to know your pet in the spot where your pet is most comfortable, and they'll explain as much or as little about what's about to happen as feels right to you. Questions are always welcome. A few small things that can help in advance: Choose a spot in your home where your pet feels safe and won't need to be moved. Keep their favorite treats nearby — many pets enjoy a few before the sedative. Invite family members and loved ones, human and four-legged, to gather close. When you're ready, sedation is given first. Within a few minutes, your pet is in a deep, peaceful sleep, feeling nothing. The final injection follows when you say you're ready, and the heart stops gently — usually in under a minute. Afterward, you're welcome to stay with your pet for as long as you'd like. If at any point you'd like more time, have a question, or have a special request, just say so. Your vet’s goal is to help your pet's passing be as dignified and peaceful as possible. You may hear this called having a pet "put to sleep,” which means the same gentle, loving goodbye of euthanasia. For a full walkthrough, including how to prepare your home and what comes afterward, please read our Complete Guide to Pet Euthanasia.

Will my pet experience any pain during euthanasia?

No, euthanasia is not painful for your pet. A gentle sedative is given first, so your pet drifts into a deep, comfortable sleep before anything else happens. The final injection, often called being "put to sleep", is given only after they're fully unconscious, so they feel nothing of it. It's widely considered the most peaceful way to end suffering. How the sedation works The first injection is a sedative that feels like any other shot (a brief, small pinch). Within a few minutes, your pet is in a deep, peaceful sleep. From that point forward, they feel nothing. The vet only gives the final injection once they're certain your pet is fully unconscious, and the heart stops gently, usually in under a minute. What you may notice (and it's all normal) After your pet has passed, you may see small movements such as a deep last breath, slight twitching, or eyes that remain partially open. These are involuntary reflexes as the body relaxes; your pet is not aware of them and is not in distress. Your vet will be there to explain anything you see in the moment. For a full walkthrough of the procedure, including how sedation and anesthesia work together, read our Complete Guide to Pet Euthanasia.

How should I prepare my home for my pet's euthanasia?

To prepare your home for your pet's euthanasia, choose a quiet, comfortable spot where your pet already loves to rest. Often, a bed, a sofa, a sunny window, or a favorite rug works perfectly. A soft blanket or towel underneath, their favorite toys or treats nearby, and a parking spot close by for your vet are all that's truly needed. A few things that often help: A familiar spot where your pet won't need to be moved or wherever they're most comfortable A clean blanket or large towel laid underneath (helps with any post-procedure reflexes) Keep their favorite treats nearby, as many pets enjoy a few before sedation A plan for who'll be present, so you can let family know the time A parking spot near your door for your vet, if you live somewhere parking is tight Their regular medications, unless those have started to cause discomfort You don't need to bathe your pet, dress them up, or do anything special. They should be exactly as they're most comfortable on an ordinary day. For a more complete preparation walkthrough, including what to expect emotionally in the hours leading up to the appointment, please read our Complete Guide to Pet Euthanasia.

Who can be present during the euthanasia?

Anyone you'd like can be present, and many families choose to gather close. That can include spouses or partners, children, extended family, friends, and other pets your dog or cat is comfortable with. The goal is to surround your pet with as much love as possible, in the place they feel safest, in a way that feels right for you, your pet, and your family. Make it your own There's no right way to say goodbye. Some families hold their pet, others lie next to them on the floor, and others sit quietly nearby. Many bring favorite toys or blankets, play soft music, or speak gentle words. You can create whatever ritual feels meaningful to your family. Who often gathers Close family, however your family looks Children, when you feel they're ready (your vet can help with age-appropriate explanations) Extended family and friends who loved your pet Other pets your dog or cat is comfortable with. Many families find a quiet goodbye sniff helps surviving pets understand what's happened If you'd rather step away That's also okay. Some pet parents find the final moments too difficult and choose to say goodbye before the procedure begins. Just let your vet know what feels right for you, and they will handle everything with the same dignity. For a complete walkthrough of the appointment, including how to prepare your home and family, read our Complete Guide to Pet Euthanasia.

How do I schedule an appointment?

To schedule an in-home appointment, start at our booking page. Share a few details about your pet (whether they're a dog or cat, their weight, and your location), then browse available appointment times over the next 7 days. The vet for each time, your aftercare options, and a live cost estimate are all shown as you go. What you'll do: Share your pet's type, weight, and your location (a city, zip, or full address; an address gives a more accurate travel fee from the start) View available times over the next 7 days to see which fits for your situation, your pet, and your family. The vet for each time is shown with their photo, bio, ratings, and reviews Choose your aftercare — all the options are visible together: ashes returned to you, ashes not returned, or no cremation if you'd prefer to handle things yourself Add any memorial keepsakes you'd like Share a few details about your pet and yourself, and put a card on file to reserve the appointment Your card isn't charged until after the appointment is completed. Along the way: The estimate summary updates in real time — if you change the time, vet, aftercare option, or keepsakes, the new total appears right away. You can compare combinations and make a calm, informed decision without any guesswork on price. After you reserve: You'll receive a confirmation by email and text, with a link to reschedule or cancel anytime. Your vet is notified at the same time, and they’ll reach out by call or text, depending on the time of your appointment, to introduce themselves and answer any questions you may have. If you don't see a time that works, you can submit our Urgent Request page for time-sensitive needs, or call 1-833-CODAPET (833-263-2738) and we'll do our best to help you.

How far in advance do I need to make an appointment?

You don't need to book far in advance as many families reserve their appointment the same day, often within a couple of hours. Many vets accept bookings with as little as 2 hours' notice, and you'll see clear pricing on all your choices as you go. If nothing in the available schedule fits your timing, you can submit an Urgent Request. If you're ready to book Most appointments are available within the next 7 days, with same-day options often possible depending on your area. The booking page shows you the full cost estimate before you confirm, where you can compare times, vets, and aftercare options at your own pace. If a vet is available but no time slot in the schedule fits your needs, an Urgent Request lets you request a different time; the vet will reach out to confirm the details and any extra fees. If you're not sure you're ready There's no rush, and we'd never want you to book before it feels right. If you'd like a structured way to reflect on your pet's quality of life, our Quality of Life questionnaire walks through the areas vets weigh and can help guide a conversation with your family or your primary vet. Some vets also offer quality-of-life consultations. If you'd like to ask about availability in your area, our care team can help: 1-833-CODAPET (833-263-2738). For a complete walkthrough of what to expect during an appointment, read our Complete Guide to Pet Euthanasia.

What is the cancellation policy?

You can cancel or reschedule your appointment free of charge up to 4 hours before your scheduled start. For cancellations within those final 4 hours, we ask for a $100 fee to cover the time your vet has set aside for you. If your pet has passed before the appointment, we waive that fee in good faith. To cancel or reschedule: Use the link in your booking confirmation (sent to your email and text) Or call us at 1-833-CODAPET (833-263-2738) Or reach out to your vet directly if you have their contact information If you find yourself needing to change plans on short notice, in case your pet's condition has shifted, a family member can't make it, or something unexpected has come up, please reach out as soon as you're able. Even a quick call within the final 4 hours helps us understand and respond. We try to handle late cancellations with care, especially when circumstances are clearly outside your control.

How and when can I pay for my appointment?

You place a credit or debit card on file when booking your appointment, and your card is charged after the appointment is complete. There is no payment to handle on the day itself, so you can focus on being present with your pet rather than logistics. We accept all major credit and debit cards. The payment flow: When you reserve, your card is added to your booking, but not yet charged After your appointment, the final amount based on your confirmed services is charged to that card You'll receive an itemized receipt by email, which most pet parents find useful for insurance or personal records What's accepted: All major credit and debit cards CareCredit is not currently accepted, though we are working on adding it If your insurance company needs extra paperwork After your appointment, you can email our care team at info@codapet.com with whatever your insurer is requesting, and we'll do our best to provide it. Note: If you need to update the credit card on file or split a payment between two credit cards, please email the care team.

How long will the procedure take?

Most in-home euthanasia visits last around half an hour to an hour. The procedure itself is gentle and quick, and the rest of the time is unhurried space for you to be with your pet before, during, and after. You set the pace, and your vet will follow your lead. A rough sense of the flow: A few quiet minutes when your vet arrives, to get to know your pet and confirm your wishes Sedation, after which your pet drifts into a deep, comfortable sleep The final injection is given only after your pet is fully asleep, which usually takes under a minute Take as much time as you'd like with your pet afterward When you are ready, your vet handles transport for cremation if you've chosen it The visit is unhurried. If you need more time at any point, simply tell your vet, and they will give you as much time as you need. For a complete walkthrough of the appointment, please read our Complete Guide to Pet Euthanasia.

What should I do if my pet is declining fast?

There are a few paths forward, depending on where you are in the process. If you have already scheduled a visit, your booking confirmation page includes a one-way text for letting your vet know your pet is declining faster, so they can try to move your appointment earlier. If you have not scheduled yet, please check the scheduling page for same-day availability. If you already have an appointment scheduled Open your booking confirmation page (sent to your email and text), which includes a one-way text option specifically for letting your vet know your pet is declining faster. They will see your message and try to move your appointment earlier if they can. If you have not booked yet The fastest path is our booking page, which shows same-day availability when available. Many vets accept reservations with as little as a couple of hours' notice, so a same-day appointment is often possible. If no available slot fits your timing, submit an Urgent Request. This alerts vets in your area, and any who can accommodate you will reach out to confirm the situation, share any surcharge for the urgent timing, and send you a link to confirm the new appointment with all the details. If this is an immediate emergency A 24-hour veterinary emergency clinic or your primary clinic is the right call. Each of our city pages lists local clinics and emergency hospitals with their contact information. If you need help figuring out the right path Our care team can help. Email info@codapet.com or call 1-833-CODAPET (833-263-2738), and they will do what they can to coordinate. If we cannot accommodate your timing, other in-home services, such as inhomepeteuthanasia.com, may have availability. We are not always able to be there at the exact moment you need us, but we will try our best.

What qualifies as an urgent appointment?

An urgent appointment is one needed within hours rather than days, typically because your pet's condition has suddenly worsened and standard appointment times don’t work. Reasons include sudden decline, visible pain or distress, or other time-sensitive end-of-life needs. If your pet is in active medical distress that needs immediate intervention, a 24-hour emergency clinic is the safer first call. Situations that often qualify as urgent: A sudden decline in your pet's condition Visible pain or distress that has worsened in hours rather than days A hospice pet whose decline has accelerated Other time-sensitive end-of-life needs where waiting for a standard appointment is not realistic Situations that are not a good fit for urgent requests: If your pet is in an active medical emergency, such as severe trauma, uncontrolled bleeding, repeated seizures, or sudden collapse, please go to a 24-hour veterinary emergency clinic. Urgent requests with us are not guaranteed, and an emergency clinic can respond faster than it takes a vet in our network to respond to an urgent request. How the surcharge works Urgent appointments typically incur an additional surcharge due to the off-schedule timing. The exact amount varies by vet and by your situation, including time of day, travel distance, and whether it falls on a holiday. The vet will share the exact amount with you when they reach out after you submit your request. If you are unsure whether urgent care fits your situation, our care team can help you think it through at info@codapet.com or 1-833-CODAPET (833-263-2738).

Are these emergency services?

CodaPet's urgent appointments are not the same as emergency veterinary services. We help pet parents find end-of-life services that accommodate urgent timing when possible. For pets in acute medical crisis, such as uncontrolled bleeding, severe trauma, or sudden collapse, a 24-hour veterinary emergency clinic is the appropriate first call. When an urgent request fits: You have already decided euthanasia is the right path and need it sooner than a standard slot allows Your pet is in a terminal decline, and you want a peaceful in-home goodbye within a short window Your pet's condition has worsened suddenly, and standard appointment times do not work When an emergency clinic fits better: You are not yet sure whether your pet can recover, and a vet exam may help decide Acute medical events that need immediate intervention, such as seizures, trauma, or poisoning You can transport your pet and need help within the hour If you are unsure which path is right, our care team can help you think it through at info@codapet.com or 1-833-CODAPET (833-263-2738).

Do you provide 24-hour pet euthanasia services?

Unfortunately, most vets do not offer 24-hour care; however, you can view and schedule your visit 24 hours a day. The vets in our network share their schedules through our scheduling page, and most accept appointments during standard daytime and evening hours. Some vets accommodate urgent or after-hours requests when their schedule allows, with an additional surcharge that varies by vet and situation. For overnight emergencies, a 24-hour veterinary emergency clinic is most often the right path. What's realistic in terms of timing: Standard appointments: 7 days a week, during daytime and evening hours Same-day or next-morning urgent requests: often possible through our Urgent Request page, with a surcharge that depends on the vet and the time Late-night appointments (after about 10 pm): occasionally possible if a vet in your area can accommodate, but not a reliable expectation Overnight appointments: not something offered with any consistency For overnight or middle-of-the-night emergencies A 24-hour veterinary emergency clinic is the most reliable option. Each of our city pages includes contact information for local emergency hospitals you can reach immediately. Other in-home services If your timing falls outside what is normally offered, services like inhomepeteuthanasia.com may help you find a service that can.

Is there an added cost for urgent appointments?

Yes, urgent appointments typically include an additional fee in addition to the standard appointment cost. The exact amount varies by vet and by your situation, including the time of day, your location, and the vet's ability to accommodate. You will see the full estimate before you confirm the appointment. What can affect the urgent surcharge: The time of day or night the appointment falls in How far the vet is traveling to you Whether the request lands on a weekend or holiday The vet's own pricing for off-schedule availability How you'll see the cost: After you submit your urgent request, the vet who can accommodate you will reach out directly. They will share their surcharge for the timing and any other applicable fees before you confirm. The booking link they send will show the full estimate, so there are no unknowns when you reserve. If cost is a concern: You can also check the standard booking page for a same-day slot. If anything has opened up, it would not include an urgent surcharge. For lower-cost emergency options, some 24-hour veterinary emergency clinics offer euthanasia at a different price point, though the setting differs from in-home.

In-Home Pet Euthanasia in Florida Keys, FL

Q: How do I know when it's time?

There's rarely a single moment that tells you when it's time to say goodbye. Most families recognize it when their dog or cat's comfort fades across several areas at once (most often pain, breathing, eating, mobility, and engagement with you), and the bad days start to outnumber the good. Reflecting on these changes over time, then talking with your vet, brings the clearest answer. You may hear this described as knowing when to "put your dog or cat down" or "put them to sleep" — both mean the same painful, loving decision. Signs of declining comfort to watch over time: Pain or discomfort that medication no longer eases Labored or difficult breathing Eating or drinking noticeably less Trouble standing, walking, or climbing stairs — or, for cats, jumping to favorite spots Accidents or trouble staying clean, including litter-box changes Confusion, restlessness, or anxiety that won't settle Hiding or withdrawing from the family More bad days than good ones What matters most is the pattern across several of these areas over time — not any single sign. A few signs that need a vet right away include gasping or open-mouth breathing (especially in cats), blue or pale gums, or repeated seizures. Our free Quality of Life questionnaire walks through these same areas to help you reflect on your pet's comfort and bring clearer notes to your vet. It's a gentle reflection aid — not a pass-or-fail test, and never a decision-maker. For a full, vet-developed decision framework, read How Will I Know When It's Time.

Schedule a compassionate veterinarian to support you through this difficult time by providing a peaceful goodbye for your beloved pet in the comfort of your home. At home pet euthanasia appointments start at $475 with optional cremation ranging from $175 - $450, depending on your pet's weight and cremation type

Saying good-bye to a pet is never easy, especially one that has been a part of your family for 18 years. Having used in home pet euthanasia in the past, we knew we wanted our beloved Rudy to have the same peaceful goodbye, comforted and surrounded by his family in the backyard that was his heaven on earth. We can’t say enough about Dr. Lori Thomas of CodaPet. We were able to schedule a next day appointment when it was clear that it was time. She was extremely communicative with us leading up to the appointment. She arrived on time and took care to assess Rudy and to go thru the entire process with us to make sure that we understood and were comfortable with each step. Dr. Thomas was kind, loving and gentle with our kitty and with us as we said our goodbyes in such a peaceful way.

This service was a bright spot in a very dark time. I called every vet in the area about an in home visit for my 230 lb Great Dane Hercules. He went down after a car ride and did not get back up. He was the best dog, my best friend, and protector when it was not a plastic bag caught in the fence. He made an impression on all who knew him, so when this happened we were all devastated. Since the local vets were not in a charitable way I turned to google to find a solution. It was God sent. When it was time to make this hard decision they were there. There was no available appointment for the next few days, so I signed up for an emergency appointment. With in 2 hours I had a spot for the next morning. I have full communication with the vet as soon as the appointment was booked. Doctor P. I can’t believe how amazing she is. She was so kind, respectful, and just a beautiful soul. She was professional and caring. She never referred to my dog as anything other than his name. She asked questions about the situation and look at Herc to make sure that it was not something simple, and explained how the process would work. She told us every move she made and insured that we were good with it. She was gentle and caring with my Herc. She waited for my nod when it was time. He went very peacefully. For some reason it ment so much to me that she bandaged his leg after the process. She stepped out and give my family some time. Once that was finished we helped get him loaded and she took him. She was so kind. It was the best experience that I could have hoped for. She contacted me later that evening to go over the payment before it was submitted. She made it possible for me to have his ashes sent back to me when I thought there wouldn’t be a way. Because of her kindness I get to keep my Herc with me. I received him early this week. She made this process as good as it could be and I could not recommend this service and Doctor P more. I would give this higher than 5 stars if possible. I would not think twice to recommend this service and Doctor P to anyone facing this incredibly difficult situation. THANK YOU AGAIN SO MUCH, and GOD BLESS YOU DOCTOR P!!!

Kayla was a very compassionate and patient with us in our difficult time of saying goodbye to our sweet Minnie. I never leave reviews on anything but she was truly an angel sent to us during one of the hardest times in my life. Thank you for everything Kayla. I couldn’t have chose a better person to be with us that day.

What an amazing and peaceful experience during the worst time I could have imagined. I wouldn't have had it any other way. My precious fur baby was deathly afraid of the vet and I couldn't imagine taking him to the vet for his last minutes on this earth to be shaking and afraid. So I easily booked online with Dr. Sarah Clem and she was absolutely amazing and sweet and understanding and compassionated. I am so happy that I decided to have Sarah come to our home so that my sweet Bentley was peaceful at home and surrounded with love as he took his last few breaths. It is the greatest gift I could have given to the pet who gave me so much joy and unconditional love for 13 years.

The day finally came that we dreaded. Our beloved dog, Jake, needed our help to cross over the rainbow bridge. We called Coda Pets & the help we desperately needed was suddenly there. No one would do an in-home euthanasia in our rural TN area though. We have family in Atlanta, and that was perfect. Dr Poole arrived & was so helpful & understanding. All our concerns were addressed & put aside so we could concentrate on the most important thing, Jake. In-home euthanasia was our life saver. The trauma of driving to the vet, enduring the passing & then driving home without our beloved pet was avoided, and Jake was much more at ease as well. Thank you, Dr. Allie Poole.

Saying goodbye to our sweet Stella was an agonizing decision for our family. She had been in decline since Jan on hospice care with another provider and we had scheduled her at home passing with them. When they canceled on us less than 20 hrs before our goodbyes We contacted Dr Lida Fieg through CodaPet. She is phenomenal. She immediately responded. When she came to our home she eased into Stella’s space and made us all feel like we were old friends. She prepared us for everything..all the while making sure Stella was always happy and comfortable. We are so very grateful to Dr Fieg for making a heart wrenching experience into one filled with love, gentleness and compassion

It was a true gift to have Dr. Wratten come to our home and gently usher my sweet kitty Luna out of pain and over to the other side. Dr. Wratten is very kind and understanding, very thorough, and all my animals felt comfortable around her immediately. She also gave us some valuable insight into how Luna may have come to have cancer. Thank you for helping our family during a difficult time.

Dr. Harper was incredible. Saying goodbye to my 17 year old cat was one of the hardest things I have had to do. Dr. Harper was so kind and patient. I am so grateful for her help, professionalism, and compassion.

Since our long time vet had retired, and we didn’t want to make our girl upset by taking her somewhere ,so we used Codapet. Throughout the entire process we were treated with care and compassion for our dog. Abby was treated lovingly by Dr.Gordon even though she had never met her. Thank you

Dr. Houck is a wonderful, caring, compassionate patience Dr. My heart was broken when I lost my Chloe, but Dr. Houck gave us as much time as we needed to say goodbye. She is a wonderful wonderful person as well as a great doctor. I will always be indebted to her for how she treated my Chloe and my family. Thank you, Dr. Houck I’m sure I will use you again. I pray God will bless you again thank you so very much for your service.

Dr. Rhaysa Feliciano came to our home on a Sunday afternoon after we awoke to find our dear Maybelline struggling. One of the other dogs (normally very distrusting of other humans) walked up to her to lick her hand and greet her, something that hasn't happened EVER with another human. We gasped and said "She knows you're an angel here to help". Dr. Feliciano sat on the floor with us as we reminisced and were guided through this peaceful and beautiful process. I will be forever thankful to her for guiding our first dog "somewhere over the rainbow". =)

Such a traumatic event handled with so much care and kindness. We appreciated her communication about the process and her compassion. She went at a pace that we were comfortable with and made the whole event peaceful and caring.

Dr Rizzo was the greatest gift to have while saying goodbye to our pet. I cannot say enough good things about the experience and the person. Caring, loving, and knowledgeable as well as professional and courteous. Thank you Dr Rizzo for the perfect way to say goodbye to Fiona.

Dr. Lara Allison with Codapet came to my home for a very unexpected visit. Our little Sweet Black Cat, GeeGee (1 yr. Old) became very sick over night. We tried hard to find out what was happening to her. But, they just couldn’t find anything without extensive testing and that exhausted our bank account. We were so Blessed when we found Codapet with Dr. Lara Allison 😇 She was the most comforting and Loving Soul we could have asked for. She helped me tremendously to get through letting Our Girl go off to the Rainbow 🌈 Bridge. I can’t Thank You all enough for this Sad time You helped us with. Thank You - Thank You - Thank You She is now back home with us again. I know the ache will never, because I’ll never forget the Love and Joy she gave us.

We recently had to say goodbye to our beloved chocolate lab, and we cannot express enough gratitude for the compassionate care provided by Dr. Kayla Mochizuki and CodaPet. From the very first interaction, she was warm, kind, and incredibly informative — exactly the presence we needed during such a difficult time. Choosing in-home pet euthanasia was the best decision we could have made. Our sweet boy was surrounded by everything he had known and loved his entire life — his bed, his toys, his water bowl, and his yard. He was at peace in his own space, with the familiar smells and comfort of home, and that made all the difference. Dr. Mochizuki walked us through every step of the process with such care and clarity. We never felt rushed or uncertain, and most importantly, our fur baby did not experience any pain. She gifted us a gentle, dignified goodbye — giving us all the time we needed and the comfort of knowing we were exactly where we were meant to be. We would not have wanted it any other way. If you are facing this heartbreaking decision, we cannot recommend in-home euthanasia — and Dr. Mochizuki — highly enough. It was a profound act of love for our dog, and we are forever grateful.
