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.

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!!

Dr. Jessica Loweth knew from the age of three that she wanted to be a veterinarian, a calling that began after her own cat was tragically lost. Born and raised in northern Virginia, she pursued her passion for animal care by earning a bachelor’s degree in Biology from Longwood University in 2010. She then attended Ross University on the beautiful Caribbean island of St. Kitts, followed by clinical rotations at Colorado State University, and graduated in 2014. Her dedication to veterinary medicine led her to complete surgery-focused internships in both Tucson, Arizona, and Tacoma, Washington. Dr. Loweth’s journey has been diverse, including a unique opportunity to serve as an on-board veterinarian for the U.S. Navy during Full Ship Shock Trials in 2016, before practicing emergency medicine in Boise, Idaho, and Fresno, California. Since transitioning to general medicine in 2021, she made the meaningful decision to incorporate in-home euthanasia into her practice in 2024. Dr. Loweth believes that providing in-home euthanasia is the most compassionate final gift we can offer our beloved pets. By allowing them to pass peacefully in the comfort of their own surroundings, she ensures that this difficult moment is handled with the utmost care and respect. For Dr. Loweth, it is a profound privilege to support pets and their families through this transition, honoring the human-animal bond in a way that is both dignified and loving. When she’s not caring for her patients, Dr. Loweth enjoys crafting, gardening, and seeking out new adventures, particularly those involving warm weather and beaches. At home, she is surrounded by her two dogs, Marley—a Coconut Retriever from St. Kitts—and Ruka, a Golden Retriever. A self-proclaimed “Crazy Cat Lady,” she also cares for a herd of cherished kitties. Dr. Loweth's dedication and compassion shine through in every aspect of her life, making her a trusted partner in providing gentle end-of-life care for your pets.

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.

Dr Christina, was very sweet to my Febe. I wanted Febe's last moments at home with her family. She was a happy girl and she is missed terribly. But this was so much easier for her. Thank You so much for being there for us.

Dr. Clem was very thoughtful and caring. I greatly appreciated her helping me through a sad and difficult time when I had to put my puppy to sleep. I would highly recommend Dr. Clem to anyone who is facing the very difficult decision of having to put their pet down.

Our experience with Dr. Gordon was exactly what we hoped it would be. We felt so lucky to have her calm, kind, caring bedside demeanor as part of this otherwise difficult experience. Dr. Gordon let our pet take things as his own pace, never rushed the appointment, and was very loving in our pet’s final moments. I would choose this service and this provider again.

Dr. Lori Thomas was wonderful. She was communicative, patient, and supportive of our wishes. Helping our 13 year old Grey tabby, Zeus, cross the rainbow bridge was one of the most difficult decisions we had to endure, but the simplicity of scheduling the appointment on CodaPet and reading helpful articles on what to expect from the process helped immensely. We’re so glad we could help Zeus cross over in the comfort of our home. I would definitely recommend CodaPet.
