Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in Riverside, CA
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.

I do not have appropriate words to express my gratitude and appreciation for Dr. Struble and this precious service. We had to make this impossible decision very quickly, and I am so thankful that Dr. Struble was able to get to us within just a few short hours of scheduling. I am so thankful we didn't have to watch our precious Frankie suffer any longer, and that we didn't have to take him from his safety and comfort to do this. Dr. Struble was so patient and compassionate. She explained everything so well and gave us all the time we needed. She offered help and she even filled the role of therapist for me as I was breaking down and doubting my decision. Dr. Struble and CodaPet made one of the worst moments of our lives a little bit more bearable and we will be forever grateful.
Dr. Lori Thomas was amazing! So sincerely compassionate and gentle with myself, my family, and my dog. She never rushed and allowed us the time to say goodbye to our girl. And allowing her to pass in the comfort of her own home/bed was so important to me. Thank you for this amazing service you provide!!
Dr. Peterson provides an honorable service in a kind and gracious way. Having the option to say goodbye to my loved pet at home in a comfortable and stress free environment is a beautiful gift. I would love to extend my deepest thanks to her. She is a wonderful person. I could not have asked for a better experience.
Codapet was very easy to use and navigate. Dr. Kellie Ayle was sweet, kind and thoughtful. The entire process of codapet, Dr. Ayle, and cremation service went very smooth.
The work Dr. Lisa does is so compassionate! Thank you so much for all you did for our beloved Joey and for us the people who loved him. You deal with both sides---and you do a wonderful job at both. Again, thank you for the excellent care.
Dr. Lisa Fieg of CodaPet was the most knowledgeable and sensitive veterinary professional our pet loving family has ever met. We highly recommend her for anyone facing the inevitable loss of their beloved 4-legged family member. We had in home euthanasia, we could not ask for a better kind Dr.
