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. 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!

Dr. Tovar handled our beloved Brooklyn in a very professional way. Prepared us by explaining step by step of how the procedure would be. She sat with us as we shared stories among our family. She really made it peaceful and handled her with care. I would highly recommend her to anyone when it becomes time to lay your pet to rest. She is very caring!!

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!!

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.

I would recommend CodaPet to anyone going through the difficult decision and process of losing a pet. Our dog, Frankie, had never been great to get to the vet, let alone as an aging pup with temperament issues. Dr. Hundley worked with us to tailor the in-home euthanasia experience to what was needed for him in a way that was kind, compassionate, and dignified. It was clear that she had a great understanding of the relationship people have with their pets, and we appreciated the compassion and clarity in navigating the process.

I had to schedule euthanasia services for my 14 yr old cat who suffered from kidney failure. It was such a difficult decision. I was recommended at-home services because my vet hospital only did euthanasia on certain days and my Luna was in a very bad condition. I looked through Coda Pet and I found Dr. April Le Blanc's profile and knew she had to be the one to help guide us through the process. She was quick to reply to my inquiry. I saw on their website that the date and time wasn't within their template availability so I sent and inquiry and followed up with a comment about my specific request around a time the next day. Dr Le Blanc so so courteous in accommodating my emergency request. She came over in the evening and my family was there with us for the process. She was succinct in explaining the entire process and also pointed out the points where if I changed my mind and wasn't ready that I could stop, and exactly which point in which Luna would be crossing the rainbow bridge. I feel so appreciative that after sitting with Luna and my other cat Draco, both cats were so comfortable with Dr. Le Blanc and she assured me that based upon Luna's disposition and what I told her about her diagnosis, that my decision to let her go as she was declining in health was a humane choice, and that I had done all I could to care for Luna for 14 years. She assured me that Luna was not in any pain and she passed peacefully in her favorite spot with her brother and family around her. Before and After, Dr. Le Blanc allowed my family to have some time with Luna to say our goodbyes, she provided ink paw prints and offer a clipping of Luna's hair as keepsakes. When it was time to take Luna away she wrapped her softly in a blanket, and placed her on a soft cushion and quietly carried her out to her car. Coda pet also offers cremation services for an additional fee and I chose this service. Dr. LeBlanc took care of all of the services and about 2 weeks later notified me that Luna's remains were available. She arranged a time to drop them off at my home which was above and beyond the level of service I expected and I appreciated it so much. I am so so happy that I found Dr. April, and that she was the one to take us through this process, she was caring, knowledgeable, and knew when to insert a light joke here and there to keep us smiling through our tears. I could tell that Luna was ready to go, and she felt safe with Dr. Le Blanc. I would 1000% recommend Dr. April Le Blanc for at-home euthanasia of a beloved pet, and although I hope to not have to employ her services for a long time, she'll be recommended to all of my pet owning friends in the future.

Dr. Clem was so kind and caring and professional in the service she provided. I have spoke to others who have had the opportunity to use her as well. And they had nothing but praise for her and her work. Totally will refer her in the future, if I have friends with the same situation.

Dr. Alicia made our in home pet euthanasia experience beautiful. We didn’t want to say goodbye to our beloved pup, Calvin, but it was time for him to cross the Rainbow Bridge. Dr. Alicia contacted us in advance, communicated exactly what would happen, and asked our preferences for what we wanted. She arrived on time and spent almost two hours with us, assuring Calvin was comfortable and we were supported. She asked us about Calvin, and grieved with us. She treated him, and us, with care and respect. She followed up a few times after his passing to check on our well being. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We’ve already given her name and number to two friends with aging pups.

Dr. Sarah was like an angel. So kind & Compassionate. She took all the time we needed and was so caring. It was 3 weeks ago this afternoon that we said goodbye to Angie. Angie was 21 years old and my Constant Companion for 18 years. Dr. Sarah made Angie's leaving so graceful and without pain, she slipped away. Our appreciation is boundless.

Review by Dr. Sarah Clem

Dr. Sarah was so kind and comforting through the process. This was my first pet that I raised through adulthood so I was quite heartbroken. She explained the process and gave us time to say our goodbyes respectfully. I appreciated her professionalism and warm heart. You can tell she truly cares about what she does.
