Dr. Houck was wonderful. The process is difficult of course, but she made everything much easier. We will definitely call again when another time comes. This was our first experience with home euthanasia and we highly recommend it.

Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in Roanoke, VA

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'm grateful for CodaPet, and specifically Dr. Lane Martin. He was kind and very respectful, and made a sad situation better.💜He spoke softly to my cat, Sunny, and told her what a good girl she is. He asked relevant questions, gave me plenty of information, and listened well. His empathy & caring were evident. Dr. Martin even respectfully listened to me share how I'd used an animal communicator to find out my cat wanted to cross over. All in all, it was a beautiful experience.🌈

We made the difficult choice to say goodbye to our 15-year-old cat Leo who had developed an aggressive cancer, and I'm so glad we went with Coda and Dr. Erin. I began looking into at-home pet euthanasia options when Leo's health took a turn. Traveling to the vet was always a stressful experience for him, and that's not how I wanted his last moments to feel. Dr. Erin was unbelievably kind and compassionate, both toward Leo and us. She walked us through the process of sedation and then the final injection, helped us pick a comfortable location, gave Leo some final treats, and then began the process. It was very quick - only a few minutes - but it was peaceful, exactly the experience we wanted for our little guy. After Leo passed, Dr. Erin gave us some time alone to say goodbye. She then wrapped him in a blanket within a basket and carried him out, looking like he was taking a nice nap. I have absolutely no regrets and it made a challenging moment so much easier - I highly recommend this option and specifically Dr. Erin.

Dr. Kristina Pugh came to us on one of our worst days when it was time to put our first beloved pet to sleep. We made our in-home pet euthanasia appointment the day before and from the time of booking, Dr. Kristina was empathetic and responsive and let us know we could chat about quality of life or a more urgent appointment if needed. Dr. Kristina arrived and greeted our dogs, talked us through the process, offered helpful words of comfort and encouragement, and gave us space and time to say our tearful goodbyes. She was caring and compassionate on a very sad and personal day for us. We didn't know exactly what to expect, but we couldn't have asked for a better experience all things considered. Our Molly girl passed peacefully in our arms and she is now at rest. Thank you to Dr. Kristina for making a difficult day just a little bit easier.
