About Vet
Dr. Margaret “Meg” Valentino grew up on Long Island, New York, before earning her undergraduate degree from the University of Delaware and her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from the University of Minnesota. Prior to veterinary school, she proudly served with the U.S. Army Reserves Civil Affairs in Iraq and Kuwait, and afterward continued her service as a Captain in the U.S. Army Veterinary Corps as part of the Health Professions Scholarship Program. She spent a decade in Georgia, then several years back on Long Island, and now resides in Connecticut — still close enough to be near family. Drawn to both science and the quiet companionship of animals from a young age, Dr. Valentino has always believed in honoring the profound bond between pets and the people who love them. While end-of-life care is never easy, she sees in-home euthanasia as a final act of love — allowing pets to pass gently, free of pain, and wrapped in the familiarity of home and family. She is deeply committed to ensuring that each goodbye is peaceful, respectful, and reflective of a life well-loved. Outside of her veterinary work, Dr. Valentino enjoys spending time with her children — whether that’s attempting tennis, hiking, biking, or making the occasional trip into New York City to feed the pigeons in Central Park. She also loves neighborhood walks with Mr. Max, her loyal canine companion. Dr. Meg Valentino is passionate about helping families honor their pets with compassion, dignity, and heartfelt care.

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.

I wasn’t sure what to expect from CodaPet and all I knew was that I didn’t want to go to a vets office to have this done. Dr Lisa Littejohn was so compassionate. I didn’t feel rushed and I truly felt like she cared for me and my sweet Maltese. Thank you for making a really hard time into something that was manageable to get through.

Dr Karen was phenomenal. Absolute heart of gold and a much needed level of love and support is needed during such a hard time. My dog was my first and true soul mate of a pet, and I couldn’t have asked for a more peaceful process. I felt truly cared for in that moment.Thank you Dr Karen, and thank you Coda Pet for offering an at home service like this.

Dr Walden was wonderful and able to arrive the same morning we made the request. Our dog was in a great deal of distress throughout the night and we couldn’t get him in the car to take him to our vet, so we sought out the in home euthanasia. She was very caring and able to make his last moments very peaceful after a long night. We highly recommend Dr Walden to anyone considering the in home option for their pet.

Thank you CodaPet and Daniella for providing this invaluable service. We cannot express our gratitude enough. You brought us comfort during a very difficult time and decision. Our sweet Bella, the calico in the front, passed away at the age of 9 in August 2025 with Lymphoma. Losing our sweet Bella to cancer was heartbreaking. We are still in mourning, but we are so thankful we found CodaPet. It was Daniella who helped make Bella's last moments as dignified, comfortable, and painless as possible. This decision was extremely hard to make even though our veterinarians told us it was time. We decided we wanted Bella to be home with us and her siblings for her passing. After Daniella arrived at our home, Daniella gently guided us through the process, helped us get mentally and emotionally ready, and gave us the time we needed to say our goodbyes. She never made us feel rushed and went above and beyond to comfort us through the hardest time pet parents have to face. Our Bella passed peacefully in the home she knew and loved with her siblings close by. After her passing, her two siblings were then able to say their goodbyes. Then, Daniella placed her in a beautiful bed she brought and covered her gently with a blanket. Once we were ready to say our final goodbyes, we carried Bella to Daniella's car laying in that bed. The car was not only very clean, but where Bella was laid was decorated beautifully. There was even a little vase with flowers. We were then able to kiss her one more time as she just looked like she was sleeping. Daniella hugged us and let us know as soon as she received her ashes, she would bring them to us. We they came, she even made them extra special giving us clippings of her hair as well (per our request). Every detain from the time Daniella introduced herself to us to the time we received her ashes, was the highest care we could have ever received. As we write this review, we are filled with gratitude tears with every memory. Even though we wish our sweet girl, could still be with us, we are truly grateful we could give her the most peaceful passing at home with CodaPet. This is the best place to call for at home pet euthanasia! Sincerely, Brenda and Star Jeries

having had to put a few dogs to sleep at the Vets office, doing it at home was a much better experience. Dr Camille was wonderful, very respectful and an extremely nice person. She made the process as good as something like this can be.
