My recent experience was with Dr. Orth. This is the first time I met her. I had contacted Codapet and she responded. She was compassionate, passionate and comforting. I have been trying to obtain her contact information to thank her personally. My regular vet is Dr. Clem, Who is part of Codapet but was unavailable. Dr. Clem is the greatest.

Dr. Orth was wonderful to come at such late notice to help my Lucy girl pass. This is my second time using Coda Pet in 7 months :( I am so grateful that they were both able to be at home, on my lap, in their favorite chair, at peace. Dr. Orth was also very helpful with the follow-up and picking up Lucy's ashes. Thank you, thank YOU!!

Dr. Loweth was amazing! She made the whole process comfortable for our dog and our family. She was very respectful and gave us time to say our goodbyes in private, and allowed us to walk our dog to the car to send him off. She took great care of our dog, and I couldn't ask for anything better. Thank you Dr. Loweth for everything, and for taking such great care of Dexter for us!

Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in Fresno, CA

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. Lori was amazing. My entire family loved how patient and caring she was while we were experiencing the most painful part of our lives by letting our precious soul dog go. She gently talked us through each step of the process and made sure we spent all the last precious moments with our Scooby without rushing us. She listened to all of our silly stories of our dog and the mischief he would get into. Once the procedure was done she stepped out and allowed our family to take as much time as we needed to say goodbye. Dr. Lori was so gentle when she swaddled our baby and even let us send him off with a couple roses. She answered all of our questions and she allowed us to contact her with any further questions or requests afterward. Dr. Lori's kindness made this painful process just a little easier for us. Also I would like to thank CodaPet for making online reservations an easy and transparent process that was very user friendly. It was very important for us that in such a difficult time we didn't have to go through too many steps with CodaPet. We were able to easily reserve a time to say goodbye to Scooby in our loving home among family. Thank you Dr. Lori and CodaPet team. We appreciate you very much.

I was very impressed with CodaPet and the compassion they showed during such a difficult time. They made the process as peaceful and gentle as possible, allowing my beloved dog, Bella, to pass comfortably in her own home and in her own bed. Dr. Sarah Clem was wonderful- kind, patient, and incredibly caring. She took her time and made sure Bella felt calm and comfortable. I am so grateful for the dignity and kindness they gave us during Bella’s final moments.

Review by Dr. Sarah Clem

Dr. Clem was very respectful and patient with us. Butters was in a lot of pain and she was prioritizing his pain while managing our grief very gracefully. Butters was not even scared, and he usually doesn’t like strangers. That says a lot about the presence that Dr. Clem has - gentle and caring. Butters passed in my arms and having Dr. Clem with us made the process bearable.

Dr. Clem was amazing. Very professional and compassionate. We had a 19 year old dog whose time had finally come. Having Dr. Clem come into our home and keep our dog comfortable was a true gift.
