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.

Saying goodbye to our golden retriever, Belle, was so hard. If was at least a blessing to be able to end her suffering and do it at home with her head in my lap and surrounded by the people that love her most. Dr. Bean did a great job. We are so glad we did it this way.

Dr. Lutgen DeWitt was so gentle helping me through the heartbreaking process of the in-home euthanasia of my best friend cat, Tara. I suspected it was the right thing to do for Tara, and Dr. Lutgen DeWitt thoughtfully weighed-in, presented options without pressure, and let me ultimately decide it was time for me to let Tara go. She treated Tara with respect and dignity, which was so sweet to watch. I'm still so sad, but grateful that my final memory of Tara is in the home she grew up in, eating her favorite meal on her favorite plate. Also worth noting, Dr. Lutgen DeWitt communicated via text to indicate she was on the way, arrived exactly on time, and was quick, efficient, and honest explaining the process and the paperwork. This is to say that none of the business of it got in the way of the heart of the matter. I'm thankful to Dr. Lutgen DeWitt for that graceful navigation.

We recently had to put our pup Rocky down unexpectedly. This was our first time having to go through this, and we are beyond devastated. I desperately wanted to do in-home pet euthanasia and luckily we were referred to codapet. They had availability and were able to come out in relatively short notice. Dr. Loughmiller was fantastic. She was very compassionate and was able to share her own personal experiences to make us feel better about having to make this awful decision. It was worth every penny to have our boy's last moments be at home and not in a stressful vets office.

Having an in-hom service ito send yourfurry family member over the rainbow bridge was much less stressful for us and for Dax. He passed in surrounded by familiar sights, smells and family and in comfort. Dr. Bailey was great and kept us informed every step of the way and was very considerate and kind with Dax.

Dr Anna Peterson gave our family the most peaceful goodbye we could have asked for. She treated our sweet Ford with incredible compassion and dignity, allowing him to pass at home, surrounded by love. We are forever grateful for her kindness and would recommend her to anyone facing this difficult decision
