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. Jason Doolittle was great in a time we had to make the tough decision to do an in home pet euthanasia for our sweet boy Rio. He was so sweet and nice to our dog like he was his own. He was sincere in his sympathy for our situation, explained everything to us as to what he would do, and what to expect. We had two additional dogs that we wanted to have say good bye to their brother and he stepped out to allow us that time. He came prepared and while the whole process was quick, he gave us the opportunity several times to take any time we needed to say goodbye before removing our dog. Rio was with my husband and I for 14 years and this was the best way we could help him cross the rainbow bridge. We could not recommend Dr. Doolittle and his services enough.

Dr. Silvesti was sincerely compassionate and caring during this difficult time. She treated my dear girl Serena with dignity and the utmost respect. While I am devastated and grieving heavily, there is some comfort in knowing Serena's passing happened in the most peaceful way possible.

I am so grateful for the kindness and compassion Dr. Kate White showed while helping me say goodbye to my cat, Munchie. She was comforting, gentle, and caring, supporting both Munchie and me throughout the process

During an incredibly difficult time, I am so grateful for Dr. Karen Duncan and CodaPet. Her kind and patient approach was focused on the most beautiful, and peaceful crossing over the rainbow bridge. We are left with soothing thoughts of our beloved senior cat's last moments. After some sedation was administered, we were able to say goodbye while he was still alert, and our last moments were happy. He was pain free and relaxed. It was peaceful and loving as we helped him cross together. No stress of a ride to the vet, or a scary environment. He was in our arms, in our home with his brother nearby. My biggest fear of his last moment suffering severely or an emergency that could not be de escalated did not happen thanks to the guidance of our vet, and this service. Allowing his litter mate brother the opportunity to see that his pal had moved will help him understand. Thank you for making what could have been a really horrible day, peaceful and spiritually satisfying. Humans should be allowed the same dignity when their time comes. He told us it was time. He was tired. His body could not fight anymore. And we listened. Thankfully we had the best help.

This is the second time in six months that we have used CodaPet for in home euthanasia. This time it was our oldest dog Toby who became ill on 12/31/25. We determined on 1/8/26 early in the morning that things were not going to get better and it was time to let him cross to the bridge. I made the appointment online for 10am. I sent a message to Dr. Schmalz that Toby was in pain and if she could get to our house sooner than 10am, we would appreciate that a lot. She responded almost immediately to let me know she would be there around 9am. Dr. Schmalz spent time with us and our dog Toby explaining the process. She was gentle with us and very caring towards Toby and his care. She waited for us to be ready to move forward and she made sure that Toby was absolutely comfortable and not feeling any pain. Dr. Schmalz left us alone with Toby after he had passed to give us and our other two dogs time to spend with him. I really believed this helped our other two dogs. They came up and smelled Toby from about a foot away and then they were able to see us put him on the stretcher and carry him out to the Dr.'s car. I appreciate the service very much. I have had many dogs in my life and it is so much better to have them at home for this part of their journey, then to have them travel to a place they don't necessarily like, and not be relaxed because of the smells there and also with them being on a cold floor or table. I highly recommend using this service and when the time comes for our other dogs, we will give them the same high level of care by using CodaPet. Thank you for your help through this very difficult time for us. Cathy
