Dr. Peterson was easy to work with. I liked the option of scheduling online. I was finding it difficult to make THAT CALL. So the online scheduling option made it a little easier. My whole family (kids included/ages 11, 16, & 19) was able to be as present as they were comfortable with during the process and were able to step away and rejoin as they needed. She gave us space and time as we needed during the process. She was very respectful and compassionate and reassured me that I was making the right decision for our dog. And we were comfortable in our own environment and Zeus didn’t have the added stress of being brought into a vets office.

Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in Duluth, MN

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.

Making the decision that my beautiful dog, my best friend and companion through good and bad, needed to be euthanized was one of the most difficult of my life. Finding CodaPet and particularly Dr Lori Schmalz for in-home euthanasia, was a relief for both me and my dog. Dr Lori is so compassionate, reassuring and sweet that Scooby's passing was gentle slide from pain and distress to calm comfort. I will recommend her to anyone facing this decision for their pet. CodaPet's online scheduling is simple and takes just a few minutes. I even had to change the appointment because in the middle of the night Scooby began to breathe shallowly and he became suddenly much worse. At 3am I was able to change my appointment to the first one available. Thank you so much Dr Lori.

I am so grateful to Dr Janelle Jackson for her caring manner in taking care of my almost 18yo cat, Little Bit. I knew the time was coming and Dr Jackson’s professional and sympathetic demeanor made this difficult time so much less stressful. Thank you so much, Dr Jackson.

It’s always a pet owners most difficult decision to have to help them cross over. We were just passing thru the area when we had to make ours. We are very thankful for Dr Jackson in helping Huckleberry be at peace and free from pain in his last moments. I’ve had a very traumatic experience in the past with taking a pet in to a vets office and him dying in the back room and the office not allowing me to be with him while he was waiting to be seen and I never wanted that to happen again. Huckleberry was able to be surrounded by family and the love he so deserved on his last day earth-side. Dr Jackson was very kind to give us a private moment with him before the final moment, and took care of the cremation and made sure his ashes was returned within a few days before we had to leave town. Thank you Dr Jackson for your help, you helped make a sad day a more meaningful one.

We hired Dr. Dennis Natalie for Tobys at-home pet euthanasia, and she was truly heaven-sent. She is such a kind and compassionate individual, carrying a calming and comforting energy that made an incredibly difficult experience much more bearable. Her patience, understanding, and empathy were evident throughout the entire process. She treated our beloved pet with the utmost care and respect, while also providing us with the support we needed during such an emotional time. I highly recommend at-home pet euthanasia for any pet parent facing this heartbreaking decision. Being in the comfort of our home brought a sense of peace and made the process of saying goodbye more gentle and meaningful. Thanks to Dr. Dennis Natalie, our mourning was made more manageable, and we’ll always be grateful for her presence during this time. God bless you Natalie.

Dr McCasland was very kind and compassionate in helping with my dog who had suffered a long term illness. When I asked she explained the process to me in terms I could understand, which also helped me through the process. I was allowed to be there the whole time and saw she was very respectful and gentle with my dog. The process was peaceful and quiet as we were able to do it at my home. I am very grateful to have such an outstanding vet help me navigate this difficult process.

Dr. Anna Peterson I can not thank you enough for helping my fur son Ceazer cross the rainbow bridge into heaven/ next life! Your diagnosis of what was happening was hard for me to process and accept. With your words you made me see what was right and what he needed me to do for him. My boy was holding on for me and I needed to set his body free to fly high above in the sky! I appreciate you and the hard job you have knowing you are doing the correct thing while hearing hearts break. Well mine did that day and you gave me respect and I thank you! Forever grateful. Rest in peace and comfort my 16 year and 1 day old Boston Terrier Ceazer puppins💝forever in our hearts.
