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 so grateful for Dr. Annie and the compassionate care she provided during one of the hardest moments our family has faced. Saying goodbye to our beloved dog was heartbreaking, but having the option to do so at home made all the difference. Dr. Annie was professional, gentle, and comforting from the moment she arrived. She gave us the time and space we needed to grieve, never rushing the process and always reassuring us that we were making the right decision for our dog. It’s an incredibly difficult job to walk into homes where families are grieving, but Dr. Annie handled everything with such grace and empathy. We are thankful beyond words for veterinarians like her who offer in-home services, allowing pets to pass peacefully in a familiar, loving environment. We couldn’t have asked for a more thoughtful or respectful goodbye. Thank you, Dr. Annie, for helping our dog leave this world surrounded by love.
Dr. Dover came to our home to help our dog Jake pass. Her kindness for Jake was exceptional. She explained every step along the way with gentle guidance. It was a very peaceful passing.
I can’t recommend Dr. Karen Duncan highly enough. From start to finish, she was incredibly communicative, compassionate, and supportive. When the time came to say goodbye to our beloved dog, Jolene, Dr. Karen guided us through the process with such care and patience. She gave us all the time we needed to say our goodbyes - even allowing our younger dog to be part of the moment. Her thoughtful touches, including a custom sign and a beautiful, heartfelt card, meant the world to us. Because of Dr. Karen, Jolene's final moments were peaceful and full of love. We’re forever grateful.
The day we said goodbye to our beloved Cozmo was so hard. Dr Goldberg was kind, caring and compassionate. She asked about our life with Coz and what things stood out to us that he enjoyed. I told her how he used to love riding on the quad with me before he had gotten sick. I told her just a few days before, I had put him on the quad and rode him around the yard. He was sooo happy! My husband had taken this photo of us and you can just see the smile on his face. Later Dr Goldberg sent me a beautiful card and told me how very much she enjoyed the quad story. I sent her this photo and a few others. She thanked me for them and said how nice it was to see photos of his life when he was a happy healthy dog. I can't say enough about her and her compassion during such a difficult time. I truly recommend saying goodbye to your pet in this manner. They are so much more at ease at home and pass so peacefully. It is a truly humane way to say goodbye to you best pal.
A very heartfelt Thank You to Dr. Jem who was so very caring, professional and compassionate. She explained every step that she was going to do and what would happen during each process and what she was going to do. She made it very comforting for me and my family to say goodbye to my Abby girl and have her go so very peacefully with no more pain.
An incredible in-home end of life experience for Copper (our dog) and his grieving fur parents. We could not have created a better outcome in the midst of a most challenging moment. Dr. Christina Vernon is the most caring, empathetic, professional, kind-hearted Dr. you could hope to encounter at such a time. Thank You Dr. Christina, and thanks to the CODA team for a well-conducted process!
