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 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.
We made the hard decision to let our senior dog Frankie go and we wanted to do it at home. Dr. Hundley was so kind and patient as we went through the process of assisting our dogs passing and we appreciate them dearly for offering this service. It was a very difficult time for us but Dr. Hundley helped make Frankie's passing as peaceful as possible.
Dr Clem was incredible. She had great communication before the appointment and was very supportive and understanding both during and after. You can tell she truly cares about what she does.
Dr. Delia came to my home to help my beloved Enzo cross the rainbow bridge after 14 years as my constant companion. This was one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever had to make, and I wanted Enzo to leave this world with dignity, peace, and love. Dr. Delia was extraordinarily kind, gentle, and compassionate from the moment she arrived. She created a calm, unhurried space and never once made me feel pressured. She explained everything clearly and with such empathy, which made an incredibly painful moment more bearable. Because we were at home, Enzo was relaxed and not anxious the way he would have been in a veterinary office. He was calm, surrounded by love, and at peace. As strange as it sounds to say, it was as good an experience as is possible during such a heartbreaking time. I am deeply grateful to Dr. Delia for honoring Enzo’s life and helping him pass with such grace. I couldn’t have asked for a more compassionate way to say goodbye.
The process was simple and comfortable for our old boy. Dr. Poole explained every step clearly and was a caring steward for his passing. I can’t imagine having to do such a hard thing in a less private way. If you had the choice to die in an unfamiliar hospital bed or in your chosen space what would you decide? If the situation cant be helped then so be it, but if you can control it you likely won’t regret this choice.
Dr. Sarah Clem was a blessing to my sweet dog Joey and to me the day I had to say goodbye. Dr Clem has a peace to her that instantly makes you know everything will be ok. I will forever be grateful for her kindness and the way she took care of Joey.
