About Vet
I was raised in Opelika, Alabama and attended Vanderbilt University as an ROTC midshipman for the navy, and then Auburn's College of Veterinary Medicine, graduating in 1987. I was the founding and first veterinarian at the Emergency Pet Hospital in Naples, Florida in 1993 and Belmont Animal Hospital near Charlotte in 2000. On 01/01/01, I married a fantastic gal in Nevada (Diane from Pennsylvania), who I had met when treating one of her rescues in the middle of the night in Florida in 1997. We settled in North Carolina as a midway point between our hometowns, built a clinic and started our family. Some health challenges ended my second stint as a practice owner and by 2005, I found myself back in Diane's home town helping to raise our two daughters in Pottstown, PA. I live on an old, small farm in northern Chester Country and my services on behalf of Codapet will be based from there. For fun, I play guitar and sing to the animals until they run off. Since 2008, we have been providing a full spectrum of medical, surgical and dental services at The Affordable Spay Neuter Clinic in Pottstown, PA, which was established below Diane's Pet Supplies and Adoption Center, for pet families who have found that modern veterinary care was no longer financially accessible. When we opened ASNC, over 5 million dogs and cats we being killed in "shelters" in our country every year. The biggest reason for the killing has always been the cost of pet ownership, including sterilization surgery. We had to help. Our tiny clinic ultimately performed over 24 thousand low cost surgeries and dental procedures before closing in early 2025, due entirely to my own accumulated wear and tear. Since we have found no one with the skill set or inclination to continue this mission in our basement surgical clinic, I "retired" and ASNC is sadly no more. The demand for affordable care remains great. Along the way, we photographed many of the surgery cases and unusual animals treated at ASNC since 2008. There was frequently no other clinic that would say yes and we tried hard to never say no. Treating critters for licensed wildlife educators was a bonus and it is always great fun to try and provide medical care and not get eaten, butted, constricted or impaled. Much of it is still on our Facebook/affordablespay page if you would like to see some of our adventures in Pottstown. My legendary wife, Diane Dietch, has rescued and adopted over 15 thousand pets into good homes through her non-profit adoption center since 1989. We both were deep in the trenches of animal rescue many years before it was fashionable and Diane is still there through Diane's Pet Rescue (https://www.ddpets.com).

Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in Pottstown, PA

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. Perret was very kind as he helped my dear Abby-Jo cross the rainbow bridge. He took great care and compassion to explain the procedure and even though it was a sad day, it was made easier by his thoughtful and gentle professionalism. I couldn’t have asked for a better vet, and the fact that he came all the way to my home where Abby wouldn’t be scared or placed under any undue stress meant the absolute world to me. I highly recommend Dr. Perret.

This service made this difficult experience more manageable. Our pet was able to pass with comfort and dignity in his own home. Dr. Kelli Bays was professional and caring and would recommend her.

Dr Cassandra responded quickly on a Saturday evening, and was very sympathetic. She talked to the children and cares about the feelings of those she are helping.

Saying goodbye to our girl Jolene in the safety and comfort of our home was priceless. Dr. Whala’s compassion and gentleness eased our spirits as we said goodbye to Jolene.

The cancer taking our beloved Otis showed just how evil it is by timing its final act for Christmas Eve. By Christmas morning we knew it was time to let him go. Dr. Parks responded immediately to our calls for help and under her guidance we were able to get his bleeding under control and set up a time for in-home euthanasia on the morning of Dec. 26th. Otis, the true inspiration that he was, rallied on Christmas Day opening all his gifts with gusto and devouring his treats. Seeing him happy, wagging, snacking, and the family laughing at his antics may just make this the most memorable and meaningful Christmas that this Christmas skeptic has ever had. The celebrating took a lot out of him and we spent the rest of the day and the entire night by his side under the Christmas Tree. The next morning Dr. Parks arrived to take us through the finsl step - surrounded by family in front of the tree. We are, of course, devastated, but Dr. Parks calm and reassuring manner made this sad day as peaceful and reflective as possible. I highly recommend in-home euthanasia under the care of Dr. Parks. Without her assistance I don’t think we could have given our Otis the loving goodbye that he deserved. Thank you!
