Dr. Sara recently helped us say goodbye to our sweet girl cat. It was such a hard time for us and she was very mindful of that. We are grateful to have done this at home and the service she provides is beyond appreciated. The compassion and empathy she shows means a lot. The Cremation company used was great and respectful. Chloe was home within 8 days. We highly recommend this company and Dr.Sara.

Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in Franktown, CO

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.

I scheduled an appointment with Codapet for Dr. Jessica Mumm to come and euthanize my cat, Wilhelmina. Wilhelmina had terminal cancer and had taken a turn for the worse on May 11th, when tumor started to bleed. Dr. Mumm was able to come the same day. She was very compassionate and told me in detail what she would be doing and how the procedure would work. She asked about Wilhelmina and I felt she had a good understanding and sympathy for my cat. During the procedure Dr. Mumm made a point to give me as much time to say goodbye to Wilhelmina as I wanted. Dr. Mumm was very gentle with Wilhelmina and displayed great warmth to her. Wilhelmina, who has always been very frightened of strangers, remained calm with Dr. Mumm, which made the experience much easier for both Wilhelmina and myself. During the actual procedure, Dr. Mumm handled Wilhelmina as gently as she would have handled her own cat. The euthanasia procedure was gentle and peaceful. I was so glad that Wilhelmina got to pass from this life so easily. Knowing that was the case has made the my grieving process easier. I am so glad that Dr. Mumm was able to give my Wilhelmina a good death. I would recommend Dr. Mumm for her warmth and expertise to anyone who wants to give their pet a respectful and gentle passing.

Dr. Gardhouse was so patient and caring. She explained what was going to happen and allowed us to process as much as we needed. When we were ready, she was so sweet and tender. We felt very taken care of as we said goodbye to our beloved kitty. Thank you for helping us through this very difficult time with so much grace and compassion.

Dr. Sara Gardhouse was so caring and compassionate during our in home pet euthanasia. Though an emotional time, she made a peaceful transition for my 14 year old dog. I would highly recommend her.

Review by Dr. Sara Gardhouse

A very wonderful caring , warm and compassionate Dr Sara Gardhouse was the right person in my life to take care of my needs when it came to the final day of Rex’s life here on earth. She was accommodating to where I wanted. Rex euthanized . That to me was the greatest gift of all. Even though it rained all day, we went forward, so Rex wouldn’t suffer anymore. She answered questions I had after the procedure, when I was overwhelmed with heartbreak and grief, stating she was there for me if I needed. Dr. Sara Gardhouse, I can’t say enough how grateful I had her by our side, it was comforting. I would recommend her to anyone that needs in-home or out of home euthanasia. You’re in the best care with this great doctor.. thank you Leia Hanson

Layla was a travel companion, a family member, a walking buddy and my "baby girl". She was a 16 year old terrier mix. She loved to play ball, cuddle on the couch and eat broccoli. Layla had Mast Cell cancer and when she experienced pain, I knew it was time to comfort her. We agonized over the decision and decided the best way to honor her life was to have Dr. Cat come to the house. Dr Cat's calm, compassionate & friendly demeanor was a pleasant surprise in an otherwise painful situation. Layla was given a sedative and then put into a deep sleep before the final shot was given. Layla passed away peacefully on my husband's lap.
