Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in Tacoma, WA
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.

We are incredibly grateful for the care and compassion shown during one of the hardest moments of our lives. Dr. Dawn Fitzhugh came to our home and treated our pup—and us—with so much kindness, patience, and respect. She explained everything gently, never rushed us, and made an unbearable situation feel as peaceful and loving as it possibly could. Her presence truly eased our stress and allowed our pup to pass comfortably at home. We can’t thank her enough.
It took two painful shots in our cat's leg before he would lie down and be still. He was very scared after the first one. Then it took two shots to administer the euthanasia drugs. The second one was in his heart. He didn't seem to feel it at the time, and Ms. Goldthwaite was reassuring and surprised by his resilience, but overall it was exactly the opposite of what I had hoped for. We didn't want him to be scared like he would have been at the vet. Instead, he was scared at home. It was very hard to take.
Loosing my pet of 19 years was very hard but Codapet made it so much easier! Very kind and gentle with my pet. We will miss her always but a big thank you to Codapet for your kindness!
Our old boy had reached the end and we made a painful decision to help him over the rainbow bridge. The service provided a rapid response at short notice and a very sympathetic visit. Our vet visited on time , walked us through the home experience and conducted it with the utmost respect and professionalism, she also dealt with a late change of plan without missing a step. My dog remained stress free and even my wife and I felt a lot better than at a strange vet. Thoroughly recommended for those pet parents who are wanting a respectful and stress free end for their pet. I’m sure my boy is in a better place, chasing rabbits and eating prime rib every day.
Dr. Bonnie. Is a loving compassionate and professional . I couldn't have asked for a better vet. She cave me a chance to say Goodbye to my sweet. Angel Harlee. I can never forget the wonderful care. And compassion she had for Harlee. I would highly recommend her For anyone who has to say goodbye to there, precious pet. Edith pierce
Dr. Becca and her assistant (sorry I forgot her name) were caring, patient and professional while providing this very personal, needed service that allowed us to give our fur baby the most comfortable and peaceful end to her life.
