Dr Valentino came into our lives on a very difficult day. She was kind and compassionate, she reinforced that what we were doing was the right thing for our pet, which we really needed to hear. She gave us the time we needed. I felt she would look after our pet with dignity and kindness when she took her away. The whole process was calm and comforting. I am very grateful.

Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in New Haven, CT

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.

We recently had Dr. Kelsey Jones come to our home to help us say goodbye to our Stevie girl, and she was truly incredible through one of the hardest days we’ve had as a family. From the moment she arrived, she went above and beyond to make sure Stevie was as comfortable and calm as possible, especially knowing she could be quite anxious. She took her time, answered all of our questions, never once made us feel rushed, and walked us through everything with so much compassion and reassurance. It’s such an emotional and difficult experience, but Dr. Jones helped us send Stevie off in the most peaceful and loving way possible. We will always be grateful for the kindness and care she showed not only to Stevie, but to us as well.

Dr. Lauren came to our home when we sent out an urgent request when everything was booked up. This was our first at home euthanasia experience, and my husband's first true loss of a beloved pet. Lauren was calm, comforting, and kind. She explained everything clearly and gently. She was sensitive to where my husband and I each were emotionally, and most importantly, she was very gentle with our sweet boy, a 12 year old Siberian cat named Buddy, declining dramatically from kidney disease. He went quickly and peacefully. It was a huge comfort and relief. He had been suffering. Lauren made sure we were okay before she left, and even followed up later in the day, especially confirming whether or not we wanted some of his fur included with our private cremation (we had said no, but decided we did - so glad she asked again). We would recommend CodaPets, and especially Dr. Lauren, to anyone who wanted an at-home experience. I would seek her out specifically again.

Dr. Jones did a great job. During a difficult time for our family she guided us through the entire experience. Before the visit she explained everything and asked if we had any questions. During the proceedure she was calm and very respectfull of our emotions. She was very professional and we are grateful that our fur baby spent his final moments at home, with family. Thank you so much for removing complication and stress from a tough day for our family.

Dr Michelli was wonderful. It’s hard enough losing a beloved pet but I’m so glad I chose at home euthanasia for my dog. Dr Michelli was kind, compassionate and went with my pace. I was so thankful to have this service and such a compassionate vet to help me through my baby’s final day.

Thanks so much to Dr. Dixon! she came to our house on a Sunday afternoon on very short notice and helped ease our dog Bode across the rainbow bridge, She was very kind , compassionate and understanding. If anyone is needing in home pet euthanasia Dr Dixon is an excellent choice.
