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.

Dr. Carol is caring, understanding, and respectful. It was extremely difficult losing our dog but she was able to make it to our house and create an environment for our Coco the go peacefully.
Having to let go of our beautiful 15 year old Scout, threw both my husband and I into a pit of despair. But, Doctor Amy made this very challenging situation a very beautiful experience for us. She was very gentle with us and made us feel comfortable and safe. She took her time, and gave us options. She was conversational, and even shared little tidbit about herself. She guided us through every step of the process, and even gave us a very thoughtful keepsake of our Scout's paw print. We were a mess of tears and sobs, but she did not even bat an eye and encouraged us to fully express ourselves as we said goodbye to our girl. Scout passed away peacefully, and quietly as we held her laying on a soft blanket that we placed beneath a flowering Poplar tree, right here in our home, Rosemary Lane. I 1000 percent recommend this service. It is worth every single penny..
While my heart is still aching from the loss of my dear Bella, I find solace in knowing that her final journey was filled with such tenderness and love, thanks to Dr. Thompson. Her compassion turned a very difficult moment into a truly beautiful and loving final act to comfort and relieve my baby. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your professionalism, being informative every step of the way and most of all for genuinely sharing in my pain as a pet parent whom also has gone through this process. God made no mistake in leading me to Dr. Thompson if in the the future I should need this service she is my go to!!! Top tier service 🥹
Dr Ayle was very kind and compassionate. She explained the process and answered all of our questions. She helped make an awful time a little easier.
I'm so thankful for the service that CodaPet provides. Dr. Neri was gentle and empathetic. I'm grateful that I was able to give my nearly 15yo Paisley a peaceful passing in our home. Thank you, Dr Kelly Neri, I'm so appreciative of your kind heart!
Saying goodbye to my beloved cat was one of the most painful experiences of my life, but I couldn’t have asked for a more compassionate and supportive guide than Dr. Megan Lowman. She was incredibly gentle, calming, and kind—truly the most comforting veterinarian I’ve ever encountered. I’m so, so grateful she was with us during this difficult time. During the visit, Dr. Lowman took the time to explain every step, both in advance and as we went, making sure we were prepared and comfortable throughout. We never felt rushed; she gave us all the time we needed and only proceeded when we felt ready. Her presence brought me so much peace in one of my hardest moments. The CodaPet platform made a heartbreaking situation just a little easier, the appointment was quick and simple to book online, and I appreciated not having to make any phone calls. Dr. Lowman checked in with me via text a few days beforehand to answer any questions I had, which brought additional peace of mind. I can’t recommend Dr. Lowman and CodaPet highly enough. Thank you, Dr. Lowman, for your compassion and kindness during such a difficult and sensitive time.
