Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in Louisville, KY
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. Shannon was very compassionate and professional and human! My dog was very much struggling and I was conflicted but knew it was time. I very much appreciated all she did for my dog, Bentley Beagle, me and my family! She explained all the steps and was a great communicator for the post visit service. If you’re in need of at home care for your furry family member, she’s the best! Mahalo nui loa for all you do, Dr. Shannon!
Dr. Devlin made this extremely difficult experience as best as it could be. Losing our sweet Riley was so hard but Dr. Devlin was very empathetic and explained everything throughly. He was very kind, understanding, and supportive. We are very grateful that we were able to stay at home for this, where our boy was as comfortable as he could be. If you ever need at-home euthanasia for your pet, I highly recommend Dr. Devlin.
It’s always a pet owners most difficult decision to have to help them cross over. We were just passing thru the area when we had to make ours. We are very thankful for Dr Jackson in helping Huckleberry be at peace and free from pain in his last moments. I’ve had a very traumatic experience in the past with taking a pet in to a vets office and him dying in the back room and the office not allowing me to be with him while he was waiting to be seen and I never wanted that to happen again. Huckleberry was able to be surrounded by family and the love he so deserved on his last day earth-side. Dr Jackson was very kind to give us a private moment with him before the final moment, and took care of the cremation and made sure his ashes was returned within a few days before we had to leave town. Thank you Dr Jackson for your help, you helped make a sad day a more meaningful one.
Amazing service and so happy I went this way rather than going to vet office. Still tough to loose a pet but better experience at home.....thank you!
Dr. Anna Peterson was very supportive and kind to us when we decided to let my best friend Pedro go. She came on time, was well prepared, listened carefully to his health history and was very reassuring that we were doing the right thing. She was patient and gave us lots of privacy when we needed it. It’s the worst task ever, but she comes with a compassionate heart and a calming demeanor. We were so grateful to be able to give him a kind goodbye at home with us and the whole process was very simple to book online.
I can’t begin to express how grateful we are to CodaPet and Dr. Natalie Dennis for making one of the hardest moments of our lives so much more peaceful and comforting. When it came time to say goodbye to our beloved dog Tedi after 16 beautiful years, we were devastated, but Dr. Dennis showed such incredible compassion and care. She was not only professional, but she truly understood the emotional weight of the moment. She took the time to explain everything and answered all of our questions, making us feel completely at ease with the process. The fact that they came to our home made all the difference. We were able to be in the comfort of our own space, surrounded by familiar sights and smells, which made saying goodbye just a little bit easier. Dr. Dennis spent as much time as we needed with Tedi, letting us say our goodbyes and offering us the comfort of knowing that Tedi was being treated with the utmost respect and dignity. The level of care, compassion, and professionalism that CodaPet and Dr. Dennis showed during this incredibly difficult time will never be forgotten. If you’re ever in this heart-wrenching situation, we cannot recommend their services enough. They truly make a painful process as peaceful as it can possibly be. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
