Initial Contact

Your vet will reach out to you prior to your appointment to answer any questions you may have and address any special circumstances or concerns.

At-Home Assessment

Your vet will make an assessment of your pet’s health and quality of life to provide guidance to ensure your decision is informed.

Pre-Medication

The veterinarian will administer an initial sedative or anesthetic to help your pet relax and become pain-free, ensuring they are comfortable and at ease.

Euthanasia

The veterinarian will first ensure your pet is fully sedated before gently administering anesthesia which will quickly slow down your pet’s respiratory system until the heart finally stops beating. In most cases, this process takes less than a minute.

We understand end-of-life care for your beloved pet can be unpredictable. We provide support and flexibility during this sensitive time.

Questions you may have

The total cost includes the in-home pet euthanasia service fee, any applicable travel fees, and a platform fee. Depending on your preferences, additional fees may apply for cremation services or memorial keepsakes.

During your appointment, your vet will carefully confirm your preferred aftercare option with you. If you choose cremation, your vet will manage your pet’s gentle transportation to a local crematorium. If your selected cremation service includes receiving your pet’s ashes, your vet will clearly explain the process for returning your pet's ashes and provide an estimated timeline for their return.

You have the option to have your vet respectfully transport your pet to the crematorium. Depending on your preference, your pet’s ashes can either be lovingly returned to you or respectfully spread with other pets.

Note: If you choose to have your pet’s ashes returned to you, your vet will coordinate the return of your pet’s ashes at the time of your appointment.

We allow cancellations at no fee to you for appointments canceled more than 4 hours before your start time. If you cancel your appointment less than 4 hours before your appointment time you will be subject to a cancellation fee of $100.

Your vet reserves time in their schedule exclusively for you, so we ask you to cancel as soon as you are able so that your vet may help another family in need.

Note: You can cancel or reschedule your appointment on your booking confirmation page or find a link to it in your booking confirmation email.

If your pet passes naturally before your scheduled euthanasia appointment, you may cancel at any time prior to your vet's arrival without incurring any fees. If you'd still like assistance arranging transportation for cremation, you can request your vet provide a deceased pet pick-up and cremation services.

Note: You can cancel or reschedule your appointment on your booking confirmation page or find a link to it in your booking confirmation email.

Yes, your vet will offer a variety of meaningful memorabilia you can purchase if you choose to request the return of your pet's ashes. After selecting your vet and preferred cremation option, you'll have the opportunity to review and choose from available keepsake options. You may also find comfort in exploring our suggestions for pet memorial ideas.

Note: You may also choose to add the memorabilia or change your mind about your choice at the time of your appointment.

In the case of wanting a private burial, if your city/county regulations allow, you can choose to bury your pet. Please check local regulations to see if this is legal in your area.

If you want to bury your pet in a cemetery, you will need to choose and make arrangements with a local pet cemetery before the euthanasia appointment. Please be sure to let your CodaPet vet know if you have planned for such a burial.

Note: Your vet can only assist with cremation options, and does not handle burials of any type.

If you have a larger pet, your vet may need the help of a friend or family member. When your vet contacts you prior to your appointment, talk to them about options and limitations, and they will inform you of any extra cost for your situation.

Options for your pet's return home and memorabilia depend on your local provider. Your vet will coordinate the return of your pet’s ashes and let you know if there are additional fees for urn delivery.

During in-home pet euthanasia, your veterinarian will first ensure your pet is comfortable by administering a gentle sedative, allowing your pet to relax peacefully. Once fully sedated, the veterinarian will give the euthanasia solution, which painlessly stops your pet's heart within moments. You'll have as much time as needed to say goodbye, and afterward, your veterinarian will discuss aftercare options with you, such as cremation or burial arrangements.

Knowing when it’s time often involves observing your pet’s quality of life closely. Key signs include persistent pain, loss of appetite, decreased mobility, difficulty breathing, and loss of interest in activities they once enjoyed. Trust your instincts—if your pet has more bad days than good, it might be time. Discussing these concerns with your veterinarian can also provide valuable clarity.

Dr. Andrea was the exact person I needed with me for my cat's emergency euthanasia appointment. She was kind, empathetic, and calm, even when I was a sobbing mess. She explained every single step of the process - what I would see, how it would affect my cat and what to expect. Everything was done on my timeline, when I was ready. It was wonderful having someone so calm and understanding with me during such a hard time. Thank you, Dr. Andrea.

Dr. Becca and her assistant were warm and professional, providing comfort during one of the hardest days I've had in a long time. They were communicative, thoughtful, kind and helped my dog transition in a peaceful, loving manner. Cannot thank them enough.

Dr. Katie Todd was so kind and informative. She explained the process and answered all of our questions. Our sweet girl is at peace and out of pain and I couldn't have asked for a better experience for her.

Dr. Crozier was amazing. She helped us get thru a really hard day. She took the time to not only get to know Georgia but our family as well. She was so kind and patient . She talked us thru every step. Most importantly, Georgia was never scared. That all I wanted was for her to not be pain or know what was going on. Georgia just drifted off to sleep peacefully. I highly recommend Dr Crozier if you have to make the hard decision to euthanize

Dr. Josh is a blessing to anyone that faces the very difficult decision to let their pet go. Home euthanasia was the perfect option for my girl Maddie. She was extremely fearful of strangers and Dr. Josh was sensitive to that and gave me the option to give Maddie her sleeping medication before he came into the home as not to cause her any stress. Dr. Josh was supportive and empathetic allowing Maddie and I to spend our goodbye time in a loving and caring environment. Dr. Josh was a gift I will always cherish and an important part of Maddies life story. When it is time, and you are considering home euthanasia, please don't hesitate with your decision to invite Dr. Josh into your home to assist in your goodbye journey. I shall remain forever grateful.
