Dr. Orth was wonderful to come at such late notice to help my Lucy girl pass. This is my second time using Coda Pet in 7 months :( I am so grateful that they were both able to be at home, on my lap, in their favorite chair, at peace. Dr. Orth was also very helpful with the follow-up and picking up Lucy's ashes. Thank you, thank YOU!!

My recent experience was with Dr. Orth. This is the first time I met her. I had contacted Codapet and she responded. She was compassionate, passionate and comforting. I have been trying to obtain her contact information to thank her personally. My regular vet is Dr. Clem, Who is part of Codapet but was unavailable. Dr. Clem is the greatest.

Jessica is such a compassionate, knowledgeable, professional and caring person. She informed and explained to me every step that would be performed in helping my beloved 15 year old dog “Chase” cross the rainbow bridge peacefully. As most of us pet owners eventually have to make in ending and letting go of our precious and loyal friends, Jessica gave me such comfort in accepting this dreaded decision. If and when you have to come to this decision I would highly recommend her in helping you through this painful time. God bless you Jessica!

Dr. Tovar handled our beloved Brooklyn in a very professional way. Prepared us by explaining step by step of how the procedure would be. She sat with us as we shared stories among our family. She really made it peaceful and handled her with care. I would highly recommend her to anyone when it becomes time to lay your pet to rest. She is very caring!!

Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in Fresno, CA

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.

Thank you so much to Peaceful Passing and Coda Pet. We were devasted making the decision to put our 18 year old fur baby Phantom to sleep but you made it so much easier. When making the decision between in home pet euthanasia or going to the vet this is the way to go. Vets were a scary place for our boy but getting to be home with his Favorite people in his favorite spot as he VERY peacefully passed means so much to our entire family. It's never easy but I heard it's better a month early than a day too late for a pet in pain and they were so amazing and thoughtful helping us with that journey. Our vet even helped us ink print and press his paws. Highly recommend!

The time finally came all pet lovers dread, we had to put our beloved pitbull, Walker, down. He was 12 years old and lived a good long life, full of love and affection. Dr. Mashawn Orth was so kind, tender, compassionate, and caring as she walked us through the process. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a mobile vet, but especially anyone who needs to send their pet across the Rainbow Bridge.

CODA Pet quickly put us in touch with a local veterinarian. Dr Jackson was incredibly kind and quickly responded to our crisis. Our fur baby had been seriously injured by another dog and the only option was to put them down. It was less than an hour from the incident to her making sure our baby was no longer in pain. While I wish we had never had to go through this Dr Jackson made it easier with her professionalism and overwhelming kindness and understanding. She is an amazing human and I am grateful for her being put in our path. We had no idea this was a service that was available in our community until we needed it. Glad we got the help we needed.
