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!!

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. 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.

Dr Jem was most compassionate and truly sorry for my loss. She gave me explanations of the process and respected the time we took to say goodbye. The crematory reached out the same evening and made my choices seamless. The follow up from CodaPet offers many options on how to honor your pet after their journey home. I would recommend CodaPet for anyone looking for a peaceful option for their pets journey home.

Dr. Karen Whala profile picture

We decided to have our dog Kira laid to rest because she was 15 years old, going blind, suffering from hip and joint pain, losing teeth, and overall just not doing well. Codapet was the choice I made, and I'm glad I did. Dr. Bagnoni was respectful, informative, and communicative. She came to the house (which I wasn't aware could be done) and she helped us put our beloved dog to rest for the final time. It pained us to do so, but it needed to be done. We're so thankful for everything she did to make it easy on us and Kira. Thank you Dr. Kim for checking on us after the fact as well. <3 from all of us here.

We have the help of Dr Whala twice now and absolutely love her and would never think of anyone else to help us lay our pet to rest. She is the most caring and loving when times are so hard .

Review by Dr. Karen Whala

While nothing can take the pain away when you lose your best friend and family member, we can’t say enough about the professional and profoundly compassionate care Dr. Goldberg provided to not only our dog but to all of us. Spock was a treasured member of our family for 13.5 years, and when he let us know it was time, it was on a Sunday morning. Thankfully, Dr. Goldberg was kind enough to come to our home that afternoon, gently explaining the process and what we should expect at each step. She spoke so sweetly to our boy, offering him treats and letting us take the time we needed at each point. We never felt rushed or stressed throughout the procedure. Despite not having met her before, her warmth was immediate and she put us at ease given the hard situation we were going through. She even reached out to us afterwards, a touch of class and caring that is rare in today’s world - and yet reflected how deeply this loss hit us. While one never wants days like that Sunday was in our family, alas one day all our beloved pets will come to the steps of the rainbow bridge. When the time comes I would encourage anyone to call upon Dr. Goldberg. She has nothing but respect and gratitude from our entire family. Our Spock passed peacefully in his back yard, the sun warming him, in his family’s arms. We have Dr. Goldberg to thank for that.

Dr April le Blanc is such a gift of kindness and calm energy during a sad and difficult time. When it was clear that our dog’s long and slow decline was causing her to suffer, we decided to look for in-home pet euthanasia. Our whole family and her little dog buddy all got to be with her, in our living room, during her passing. April knows how to guide grieving pet families with compassion. I’m very grateful for her and for this service.
