About Vet
Dr. Danielle Chapman brings a wealth of experience and compassion to in-home pet euthanasia. A native of Britain, her slight accent is a charming reminder of her roots, even after living in the United States for over 25 years. Dr. Chapman pursued her childhood dream of becoming a veterinarian by earning her undergraduate degree from the University of Michigan in 2000, followed by her DVM from Michigan State University in 2002. With over two decades of experience, she has worked in cities across the globe, including San Francisco, Los Angeles, London, and New York, providing exceptional care to pets and their families. Since 2010, Dr. Chapman has focused on in-home veterinary care, understanding that pets are most comfortable in their familiar surroundings. She is deeply committed to making the hardest moments in a pet parent’s life as peaceful and supportive as possible. Beyond her work in in-home care, she stays sharp in her surgical and emergency medicine skills, regularly attending continuing education conferences to stay at the forefront of veterinary advancements. Now based in Austin, Dr. Chapman shares her life with her husband, two young children, and her beloved dogs: Bella, a 15-year-old terrier mix who has traveled the world, and Charlie, a gentle pittie mix. In her free time, she enjoys hiking, yoga (she’s a certified yoga instructor), playing pickleball, and traveling. Whether she’s hiking local trails or helping families navigate a pet’s final journey, Dr. Chapman’s dedication to animals and their people shines through in all she does.

Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in Austin, TX

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.

Choosing to have your pet euthanized is a difficult experience, but we knew it was time for our cat as he had been struggling with the effects of HCM for weeks. We chose in-home pet euthanasia because Scout always hated being taken to the vet and we didn't want to cause further stress in his final hours. Fortunately Dr. Lauren Frary was near where we live and I had read great reviews about her work. I just want to add that they were all warranted. Dr. Frary was kind and engaged both with us and Scout. The process was explained in detail and we had plenty of time to say our goodbyes. The procedure went smoothly and peacefully. We're so glad we chose Dr. Frary for this difficult choice--she made it a much more pleasant experience.

Dr Struble was so compassionate and understanding and explained the process. She gave us time to process and asking us before moving on to the next step. We so appreciate this service and having her come to our home so we could say our goodbyes to our sweet Lexi girl. Thank you Dr Struble and CodaPet.

During such a difficult time recognizing that our 12 year old lab had reached the end of his life, we were comforted to find an option for in home euthanasia. Dr. Lowman was incredible kind and compassionate. She explained the process and made sure we were ready and had time to say our goodbyes.

Dr. Noe had a very calm and kind disposition. She understood our grief and helped us feel comfortable while saying goodbye to our 16 year old dog. Euthanasia at home was absolutely the best gift we gave our dog - she was able to peacefully pass while being with family, in her own bed, in her own loving home, and even with our cat staying close by. Our dog had no stress during the process whatsoever, just relief. Thank you Dr. Noe.

We had to make the heartbreaking decision to euthanize our sweet pup, The Dude, last week, and Dr. Laura Krogman was phenomenal in making the process as peaceful and loving as possible. She was compassionate, kind, sympathetic, and very professional, and she allowed us the opportunity to watch our pup cross the rainbow bridge while he was content and snuggled on his own bed in front of the fire place, enjoying special loves and treats. We will forever be grateful to her, and we will happily recommend her to all our family friends.
