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. 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. 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 Rob was amazing guiding us through a very difficult experience. Our dog passed away peacefully while we gave lots of love in our home. Highly recommend them if you ever find yourself in this position with your pet. Of note, was almost half the price of Lap of Love for our large dog.

Dr. Banks with CodaPet was absolutely amazing. We had to say goodbye to our 4 year old dog, Royal due to kidney failure. It was one of the hardest things we have ever done, but Dr. Banks made it easier. We originally had an appointment scheduled for a Saturday, but when Royal was rapidly declining, Dr. Banks was able to come on a Friday evening after her job. She really came through for us so we didn’t need to take him to an emergency vet. Royal was also a lot more nervous than we thought he would be. I had offered to muzzle Royal, but Dr. Banks was able to work through his nervousness. She was calm the whole time when he was awake, making sure he wasn’t getting more worked up. During and after sedation, Dr. Banks let us know exactly what she was doing and how it was going to work. We had time to say our goodbyes to Royal while he was sedated before the final injection. Once Royal was gone, Dr. Banks let me know. She was then able to get a few paw prints for me and let me get some fur. Dr. Banks was also able to transport Royal for private cremation. Overall, Dr. Banks made our final goodbye with Royal calm and comforting. We were outside on a perfect day in one of Royal’s favorite spots. Dr. Banks was comforting during and after everything as well. I highly recommend Dr. Banks with CodaPet.

Dr. Jessica was very patient with us and informative also while she got ready. Saydee was relaxed with her at home. She gave us time to love her, comfort her...then cry my eyes out . I'm still in a daze; so lost. Did the best for her-even at the end Waiting for her ashes to be returned, then Saydee Marie will be home again Thanks again Dr. Jessica for making it as painless as possible.

Dr Loweth is the best, during a very tough situation. She is so kind, informative, skilled, and empathetic. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is, unfortunately, in need of this type of service.

I cannot say enough about Dr. Amy and her empathetic care during one of the hardest choices to make. I have never had to euthanize a pet before until now, and wasn’t sure what to expect. Dr. Amy explained the process to me thoroughly, while ensuring both I and my pet were comfortable. While it was a very difficult decision, she made me understand that I was making the right choice in relieving my pet’s pain from cancer in the most peaceful way I could have possibly imagined. After Dr. Amy introduced herself to me and my Rottweiler, Ember, she never once made me feel rushed the entire time she was here. After giving Ember treats, Dr. Amy began the procedure of sedating her, and the waited patiently until I was ready to complete the process. After the process was complete, Dr. Amy excused herself and waited outside for me to say my last goodbyes. Again, which I cannot stress enough, in a manner of which I never felt rushed. I honestly don’t know how long I took, but knowing I had as much time as necessary provided a tremendous comfort to me. When I was done, Dr. Amy loaded Ember up on a stretcher and covered her with a soft blanket for transport. The entire time, I felt my baby girl was in good hands and being taken care of in this difficult moment. I can easily see why everyone has given perfect reviews.

My girl Molli was 16 this past June and when she took a turn for the worse I reached out to Peaceful Passing/Coda Pet for help. While her appointment was scheduled for a few days later, Dr. Whala was able to come sooner - this allowed Molli not to be in pain or any discomfort for any longer than needed. The whole process was amazing and left me knowing that it was the best outcome for Molli. There was no rush, no judgement, no criticizing - just compassion and understanding. We were given time to be with Molli through the entire process. We also chose to have Molli cremated and wanted her ashes back. I was expecting to get a call to go pick up those ashes but instead I was greeted by an individual at my house that hand delivered Molli back to me. Unbelievable service from beginning to start - I would not do it any different.
