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. 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.

Dr. Sarah Wratten is a gem of a person. She brought such a gentle, peaceful energy to such a heavy moment. She was so kind to both my boy, Diego, and me, and was mindful of both the physical and emotional elements. I appreciate her so much and will forever be grateful that she was the one to aid with this transition.

Dr. Ramos kept in contact with me throughout the day to help guide me in making the right decision for our beloved pet. She explained thoroughly about in home pet euthanasia, and how that would look for us. She was kind, compassionate, and understanding of our needs to make the process as easy as possible. She spent time to get to know our pets and catered to our specific needs for our girl. Every step was explained clearly before proceeding. I am not going to lie, this was a terribly heartbreaking experience, but Dr. Ramos helped make it as stress free as possible. I highly recommend using Dr. Ramos and the Codapet service.

Review by Jessica Carpenter

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. Sarah Clem profile picture

Coco was our rescued cat for 10+ years and we had poor experience with taking our previous cats to the vets for their final trip. So when we saw CodaPet, we were blessed to have Dr. Sarah Wratten administer Coco's last moments with us. We had Coco here quietly with her favorite smells and sounds and us around. Dr Sarah was gentle, compassionate and, most of all, reassuring as we had never had our other cats euthanized with us at home. Dr. Sarah talked us through each step both before and during. And it was like Coco fell asleep in our laps and peacefully transitioned. Of course, we were Very Sad but experienced the most gentle passing we could hope for. No drama, no noise, at her home for so many years. This is always going to be a tough moment for any pet owner but CodaPet and Dr. Sarah met the moment with professionalism, grace, and calm that made it the best send-off for Coco we could have ever hoped for.

Review by Glenn Huang

Dr Lara Allison is a literal angel. I must start by saying I’ve never lost a fur baby before, so I didn’t know what to expect. From the moment I booked my appointment for a quick appointment knowing we were reaching the end of 13 happy long years, I was greeted with compassion and empathy. I genuinely from the bottom of my heart do not think my husband and I would feel so at peace about our babies passing without Dr Allison being with us throughout the process. She came in with immense empathy and compassion. She answered all questions we had, put us at ease, and treated our Lady like she was our baby. She never rushed us, never hurried us, we never felt like she was In the way. She was so wonderful at allowing us time to grieve and say goodbye on our terms. I leave with a greater sense of peace that not only is my dog no longer in pain, but that Dr Allison was there with her to transition her. She was kind, thoughtful, and gentle. Truly could not say enough wonderful things about her and this experience. I would reccomend to any friend that is experiencing this difficult decision to use Dr Allison. Thank you!!
