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 Whala has helped us through the passing of two of our dogs with a kind, compassionate, caring understanding of what we as pet owners are going through. When Dr Whala came out recently to help with what we thought was a final goodbye to our girl Bindi she let us know that Bindi had a tumor but with some medicine she recommended we were able to be with Bindi an additional 2 months. Dr Whala has a true understanding of what we as dog owners feel about our furry friends, she knows they are our family and we love them with all our hearts. There is never any rush when Karen visits your home for the final goodbye, the last moments of our babies is so difficult and Karen understands the pain we are going through. There isn't anyone I could ever recommend that would be better to help with the final goodbye for your beloved pets.
I didn't know that in-home pet euthanasia existed until my son had to say goodbye to his pet last summer. He shared with me what a blessing it was to be able to say goodbye at home, so I googled for options when it came time for our sweet Allie cat. Dr. Hundley was amazing, first walking me through the process over the phone and her kindness and respectfulness for our girl as she left this world. To be able to have a calm, quiet, familiar atmosphere was a true gift to both my husband and I and Allie.
Her approach of “I’m here for Pepper and your family “ with Pepper being comfortable the priority was wonderful. She took time to “meet” Pepper and having her doing the assessment was a blessing. She is very compassionate during this difficult process. She conveys at all time the process and what she is doing. We felt comfortable having her there as we cried and loved on our Pepper. She is WONDERFUL!
Dr Whala came to our home on short notice and took great care of our dog Charlie. So thankful for her calm comforting demeanor. She was so kind and we are grateful for her compassion and care. Never easy to say goodbye to our furry friends, but Dr Whala made the experience more bearable by being so kind and gentle
My girlfriend and I were devastated when we learned our 8-year-old cat Sadie had renal lymphoma and that her kidneys were rapidly failing. The diagnosis was completely unexpected, and our poor baby's decline was unbelievably fast. Not wanting to stress Sadie and take her to a strange place for her final moments with us, we looked into in home pet euthanasia. We learned about CodaPet from Google, but our veterinarian also recommended Codapet when I called to ask for best recommendations for in home pet euthanasia. We reached out to CodaPet and Dr. Melisa Magnotta. Dr. Magnotta was so kind and understanding. We made arrangements over the phone for Sadie to be euthanized at home and Dr. Magnotta encouraged us to reach out with any questions, or if we felt Sadie needed to be assisted before the set time we had intended. Sadly, Sadie's quality of life deteriorated exponentially faster than we had anticipated and we needed to have her euthanized as soon as possible. We reached out to Dr. Magnotta in the morning and told her about the situation and asked if she was able to help us at her earliest convenience. Dr. Magnotta was understanding and was able to come quickly. She was so compassionate and kind. Dr. Magnotta explained the procedure to us and assured us that our poor girl would not feel pain, and that we were making the right decision. While the pain of having to part with our pet was inescapable, Dr. Magnotta and CodaPet gave us the calmest and most peaceful experience for Sadie we could have hoped for. When looking into at home pet euthanasia, do not hesitate to reach out to CodaPet.
Dr. Thomas is so compassionate, caring and supported our decision for our dog Max during this difficult period. Dr. Thomas took the time and explained everything clearly and gave us the time and space we needed. While it was an incredibly difficult moment, her calm and caring presence made it as peaceful as possible. We are very grateful for her kindness.
