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.

Dr. Goldberg yesterday helped me to give my sweet cat Penelope a painless and easy transition to her next life. I was devastated and it was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. She was so careful and compassionate with my girl and even brought a sweet bed to take her in. Losing a family pet is such a hard experience and Dr. Goldberg with her love and care for animals helped us to let go.

It was one of the worst experiences of my life, but Dr. Mary Juber has an outstanding temperament to help guide me through it and celebrate my Babies life and not get consumed with her death.

Jessica is truly the best veterinarian and caretaker I could ever ask for, for my dog, Mika. From the very beginning, she has shown incredible compassion, professionalism, and genuine love for not only my dog but other families animals. She always takes the time to listen to my concerns, thoroughly explain Milas care, and make sure she is comfortable and healthy. What sets Jessica apart is the personal attention and dedication she gives to every pet. She treats Mila as if she were her own, and that level of care gives me complete peace of mind. Whether it’s a routine checkup or a more serious health concern, I know Mila is in the best hands possible. Jessica’s kindness, expertise, and commitment to animal well-being are unmatched. I am so grateful for everything she has done for Mila, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a veterinarian who truly cares about their pets.

The decision to transition our beloved family companion was excruciating. It’s hard to work through the ‘when is it time’ dilemma. Alicia was fantastic, explaining every step of the process. I highly recommend doing this in a home environment. It relieved an element of stress from a difficult situation.

I was referred to CodaPet for in-home pet euthanasia when my 16 year old dog Ellie quickly declined. A trip to the vet would have just too much for her, she had become extremely anxious and was in distress. I could see in her eyes, the way she looked at me, that she was tired and ready to go. Even though I knew the day was eventually coming, it is still so hard to let our pets go. In my heart I know it was the ultimate gift of love I could ever show her - she is now in a better place running and jumping pain free. When I called CodaPet, the woman who answered the phone was very compassionate and understanding. Dr. Loughmiller arrived within a few hours and she carefully explained the process and proceeded only when she knew Ellie and I were ready. She treated Ellie with dignity, and her kindness, care and compassion made the whole experience the best it could possibly be. I highly recommend CodaPet and Dr. Alexandra Loughmiller for in home euthanasia services if it comes time to help your pet over the rainbow bridge.

This is a necessary part of being a loving pet owner. Our sweet Bucky, a yellow lab, was a gentle soul with a huge heart and had eyes that gave away everything he was thinking. He got sick and within three weeks had lost most of his muscle mass and his appetite. We knew it was time after one long walk around the yard once more. We did not want to lose him somewhere else than home, where we could say goodbye to each other in a safe place where Bucky and was relaxed and comfortable. Dr Murray was very kind. He explained with compassion what this would look like and followed our lead with timing and letting the whole family say goodbye for as long as we needed to. I think he would have stayed all day if we needed it. This took me a bit to write because we miss Buckwheat terribly. But being responsible pet owners means making very tough decisions but Dr Murray really made a difference in such a sad day. I would absolutely recommend Dr Murray to anyone facing this tough time. Thank you
