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.

The compassion and professionalism of this doctor was unparalleled and exceeded my expectations in every way. I truly felt as though an angel was sent to us to guide us through this traumatic experience.
From the moment she walked in the door, Dr. Clem showed kindness and compassion. She made an unbearable situation less stressful and talked us through every step. I would recommend CodaPet to any pet owner going through this sad process.
In home pet euthanasia We had an Angel come to our home (Kyra) She helped move the love our life Rocco to doggie heaven so he could be pain free again. She was very kind and loving person . I can not recommend enough for your dog to be comfortable in his own home in the final moments of there life's . Thank you Kyra we will never forget you .
I cannot say enough good things about Dr. April from CodaPet. Sometimes, you meet people and right away, you just feel that there's something special in their soul, and for me Dr. April is one of those people. She brought with her a warm, soothing energy that made the last moments with our pet special. She took the time to explain everything and answer any questions we had, she was absolutely wonderful with our children, we never felt rushed and her empathy was evident. Nothing makes the process less heartbreaking, but our family is glad we had her to help guide us through it.
Natalie came to the house to help me say goodbye to my 19 yo Aussie. She was polite, professional and funny too. She explained everything before she did it, was super patient with my other dog, who had to stick her nose in whatever she was doing. She stayed for a while to be certain everything was good, as good as it can be when putting an old freind down. She was very gentle. I highly recommend her if ever you need this service. Thanks Natalie!
Dr. Goldthwaite was very gentle with our 20 year old cat. She was compassionate and caring with him, and with us as we went through this difficult time. It meant so much to us to have him pass away peacefully in the comfort and safety of his own home.
