Dr. Magnotta was accommodating with her availability, and was even able to come help us earlier than anticipated as our cat's health exponentially deteriorated overnight. We know Dr. Magnotta helped us make our cat as comfortable as possible as we said goodbye. It was one of the hardest days of my life, but Dr. Magnotta helped give me peace of mind knowing my cat Sadie felt no pain and was cared for with kindness. Dr. Magnotta was so compassionate and caring. She made us feel cared for, and we felt reassured that we were making the right decision. I highly recommend Dr. Magnotta.

Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in Torrington, CT

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.

In home pet euthanasia with CodaPet’s network of veterinarians provides loving, end-of-life care when you need it most. Once you schedule a visit online, you will receive a confirmation, and your vet will make sure everything is arranged with care and clarity.

When your vet arrives, they’ll begin with a gentle assessment to reassure you of your decision and answer any questions you may have. Your vet will always move at your pace, giving you the time and space you need to say goodbye in your own way.

When you are ready, your vet will gently administer a sedative so your pet can relax and drift into a deep, peaceful sleep. After the sedation has fully taken effect, a final, humane medication is given, allowing for a calm and painless passing surrounded by love.

If you choose aftercare, your vet will respectfully care for your pet and transport them for cremation, handling every step with dignity and compassion.

In home euthanasia with CodaPet’s network of veterinarians in Torrington and the surrounding areas begins at around $300. Your final cost may vary based on your pet’s size, your location, and any additional services you choose—such as private or communal cremation, ashes returned in an urn, or personalized keepsakes.

When scheduling a vet visit to your home, you’ll first receive a detailed, upfront price estimate according to your specific needs before confirming a visit. If you have questions or need support at any point, you can call (959) 202-2137.

Dr. Keri Wasmoen is the kindest, most compassionate vet. I truly think she was made for this job of helping pets cross over the rainbow bridge. She made the process so much easier with her kindness. She explained everything she was going to be doing and asking me if I was okay during every step of the process. Even after he passed she was so gentle with him. She helped me to make nose and pawprints. She helped to make the worst day a little easier. I could not be more thankful for her.

Dr. Causey walked through the door and put both our hearts at ease. Kind-hearted, nurturing, skilled, and conscious in providing the most peaceful goodbye to my girl. Thank you for every moment of peace and comfort you gave us. I could not have asked for a more beautiful goodbye. And to do so in the comforts of your own home is an absolute gift. The engraved box with ashes, paw print and clipped fur are blessings to add to this experience. Thank you for peace you gave that day and for the peace you continue to give in memory.

There is no pain like losing a pet, but in home pet euthanasia helped make the transition easier. Dr. Alicia was wonderful; communicated early and often, didn't rush the process, and gave our sweet girl Chloe a peaceful passing. We were able to chose a comfortable spot in the yard and Dr. Alicia walked us gently through the process. Chloe was calm and relaxed throughout the whole journey and I'm sure was glad to not be at the vets office, again. Most appreciated she worked with us for after-care and took care of our girl until I was able to take her to her final resting place.

Our beloved dog, Oatmeal, had health problems from the time he was a puppy. We spent years going in and out of veterinary clinics trying to help him through immune issues, allergies, skin problems, digestive complications, even losing an eye at doggie daycare and more. In the last few years of his life, his health became even more complicated and everyday life became harder for him. We were at appointments constantly for bloodwork, medication adjustments, prescription food changes, surgeries, exploratory procedures and lots of specialist visits. It often felt less like we were finding answers and more like we were ruling things out or uncovering yet another condition to manage. It was emotionally exhausting and despite everyone’s best efforts, our sweet 13 year old best friend wasn’t truly getting better. Through it all, Oatmeal remained incredibly gentle and trusting. Even after years of appointments, pokes, tests and procedures, he stayed such a good sport. But eventually he developed an uncontrollable shake whenever he walked into a clinic because he was so fearful of what might happen there. Watching that heartbreak, while also seeing his gradual decline, made us realize we needed to make one final loving decision for him. Choosing euthanasia was one of the hardest things we have ever done but we knew we wanted it done on Oatmeal’s terms: - not in a clinic - not after an emergency or painful decline - while he could still enjoy life - with time to give him a beautiful final week doing everything he loved - and with one perfect last day surrounded by his family We were able to do all of that through CodaPet and Dr. Lori Schmalz. Booking online made the process easier because I honestly do not think I could have made it through a phone call without crying. The website explained the process thoroughly and when Dr. Schmalz arrived, she gently walked us through everything again and answered every question with compassion and patience. As heartbreaking as the moment was, it was also incredibly peaceful. There was no fear in Oatmeal’s eye and not an ounce of pain. In the end, he passed exactly how he always loved to spend his afternoons, asleep in the warm sun beside his kitty brother. He was in his favorite spot at home, surrounded by the people who loved him for 13 wonderful years. The experience felt completely different from any pet euthanasia we had gone through before. It was calm, loving and deeply humane. We miss Oatmeal more than words can express but there is also peace in knowing we did not wait until he was suffering through a crisis or rushed into an emergency clinic terrified and hurting. Instead, we were able to give him a beautiful final day filled with comfort, love, bacon, sunshine, his favorite toys and the two people he adored most. When he left this world, he felt safe, cherished and completely loved and we will always be grateful for that.
