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.

We truly cannot thank Dr. Hundley enough for the love of animals and caring shown during recent the in home euthanasia of our cat, Callie. The compassion she exhibited not just for our precious Callie, but for our entire family as we were able to be present in Callie’s passing in her loving home environment with all those who loved her so much surrounding her is something we will never forget - and can never express our deep appreciation for enough. Dr. Hundley truly helped to allow one of the most difficult decisions we had to make also one of the most loving decisions we could have made for not just Callie, but for our family. We rescued Callie over 11 years ago, at the age of 5 years - although we always say she was the one who rescued us, and truly felt that each and every day we were blessed with our precious Callie. Dr. Hundley listened as we all shared the most profound and poignant memories we had of our not only loved, but also revered, our most precious Callie as she was lovingly allowed to be at peace as her passing came to fruition. Those of us that were so blessed as we welcomed Callie into our home over 11 years ago were also able to be there when she passed - and are truly so grateful for the loving compassion that Dr. Hundley allowed each of us to feel during such a difficult time. We will not hesitate whatsoever to utilize the beautiful service she provides when needed again. Thank you so much, Dr. Hindley. We are so very grateful for you.

On one of the worst days, this made it so much better. Worth every single penny and more. Dr. Matthew was extremely professional, calming, and caring for my dog and myself in our last moments together. I have already shared this service to all of my friends because I was so impressed and I feel it was the best way to help your pet’s last moments be the best they could.

This was a very difficult decision but one we knew had to be made. Dr. Sarah made this whole experience dignified and her calm demeanor brought a peace to the situation that made it much more bearable than we imagined.

Review by Dr. Sarah Clem

I had to have my beloved maltese , Stella, put down when her inoperable cancerous tumor began bleeding. Heartbreaking decision to make, to decide it is time. She let me know. She was acting very nervous the night before. I knew something was wrong. Then all my cats and other dog just sat around her in bed. They already knew.... When she started bleeding I called Codapet and made an appointment for the next morning with Dr. Sarah Clem. She arrived on time. She was very patient. Even listened to all my silly stories. Gave Stella an injection to make her sleepy. Stella fell asleep in my arms lying on the sofa. She was snoring loudly when Dr. Clem, Sarah now, asked if I was ready. Stella got another injection. She was still snoring...and then she wasn't. So quietly. Sarah listened to Stella's heart, looked at me and shook her head. It was over. She was buried in the back yard under a beautiful little memorial. I can't recommend b this service enough. No scary trip to the vet. Just calm, loving nap at home. I miss her terribly. That is going to take time and probably a new pup in the future. She was the best....

Review by Dr. Sarah Clem

We recently had to put down our 16 year old golden retriever. She hated going to the vet so being able to pass at home made the process less stressful for her and our family. Dr Hyman was very compassionate, caring, and professional throughout the whole process. We would absolutely recommend CodaPet to anyone who finds themselves looking to euthanize their beloved pet in the comfort of their home.
