For those that have had to consider euthanasia for their beloved pet, it is one of the most difficult decisions to make. Unfortunately, we had to make this decision and were looking for a way to have the procedure performed at home so that our beloved girl could leave this earth in her own bed surrounded by those that love her and provide us the peace of mind of knowing that she felt no pain in the process. We were fortunate to have found the CodaPet service (www.codapet.com). They provide “in home pet euthanasia” services for your dog or cat. Once you select the details of your beloved pet, a veterinarian is assigned for your local area and they come and visit you at your house to perform the procedure. We were so honored and blessed to have been assigned Dr. Natalie Dennis. She truly is a loving and dedicated pet parent, who explained that she was inspired to perform these services because of having a difficult time in the past with one of her pet children. She was extremely kind, caring and gentle, not only with our beloved girl, but with us and our other dogs and took the time to get to know her, and us as well. She got us laughing and remembering some wonderful times we had with her. When the time arrived, she performed the procedure and our girl quietly drifted away like so many afternoon naps. She looked so peaceful and content when she passed over the rainbow bridge. We are so thankful and grateful for Dr. Natalie and the service she performed. She made the difficult decision that much easier. We hope and pray that others will support her in her mission to provide a compassionate and tranquil exit to pet parents of their beloved pets.

Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in Las Cruces, NM

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.

My cat, who was around 12 or 13 years old and had an inoperable brain tumor, got really sick around Christmas, and a few days later it became clear to me that I might have to consider humane euthanasia to give my cat a peaceful transition. By December 28, 2024, my cat’s health had declined significantly and she could no longer stand up on her own and was no longer eating any food. Because it was a Saturday, my cat’s regular vet wasn’t open, so I had to resort to googling “at home euthanasia near me” in hopes of finding a provider that could come to my house as quickly as possible (I didn’t want my baby’s last moments to be at the emergency vet — a place she really didn’t like). Unfortunately for me, the first result that came up in my google results was CodaPet. I deeply regret using this service and I wouldn’t recommend them (or Dr. Jaime Pickett) to anyone looking for at home euthanasia services in Richmond, VA. CodaPet’s website and Google profile only had good reviews, so I figured my cat would be in good hands — boy was I wrong!!!! Dr. Pickett came to my house and performed the euthanasia on schedule, but didn’t provide any information about the medications being administered or what I should expect during the process. At least the process itself was relatively quick. After the appointment, Dr. Pickett took my cat with her and didn’t provide any details to me about the expected timing for receiving her ashes or about the crematorium where my cat would be taken. She also didn’t explain whether the mementos (a clay paw print and tuft of fur) that I ordered would be handled by her or by the crematorium. The lack of information made it extremely difficult for me to follow up on my cat’s cremation and the mementos that I ordered. I had to call CodaPet MULTIPLE times to receive information about my cat’s cremation and the timing. Eventually, I found out the name of the crematorium (Agape) and they told me that Dr. Pickett did NOT include a clay paw print or tuft of fur on my order form so they did not do that before cremating my cat. Of course, this startling revelation TRAUMATIZED me and I followed up with CodaPet IMMEDIATELY to have Dr. Pickett contact me. Dr. Pickett then belatedly explained that she handles the clay paw prints and tuft of fur herself for “quality control” to ensure “good quality”. Almost 3 weeks later, I finally received my cat’s ashes. Dr. Pickett told me she would hand my cat’s ashes back to me directly, but of course she didn’t follow through with that and instead she callously handed my cat’s ashes to a receptionist downstairs in my building’s leasing office. When I opened the bag with my cat’s ashes, it became clear to me why Dr. Pickett chose to leave my baby’s ashes with the receptionist instead of handing them to me directly — the clay paw print that I was so desperately yearning for was nothing like I would’ve imagined. The clay was dirty and stained and had random black ink markings and scribbles on it which had nothing to do with my cat (it looked like ink that had just been spilled on several areas of the clay and the clay was a dirty yellow color). **TLDR** // By providing awful customer service and an AWFUL clay paw print that I can’t even keep due to it looking filthy and old, CodaPet and Dr. Pickett not only disrespected me and the memory of my cat, but she also deprived me of the one lasting memory I would’ve otherwise had of my cat’s paw. I cannot recommend CodaPet’s or Dr. Pickett’s services to anyone. Please don’t make the same mistake I did.

Dr. Mary Juber did an amazing job at making Scout's final moments peaceful. She was wonderfully kind and patient with us through every step. Every step of the process was at our pace. I am eternally grateful this was an option for him and that there are people able to take on such a heavy job.

Dr.Devlin was wonderful. Putting our Bella to sleep was the hardest decision we had to make and knew it was time. He was very compassionate and gentle with our baby and made it easier for all of us. Thank you!

Using CodaPet was the absolute best experience. They got to us so quickly and it was such a peaceful experience. Highly recommend Dr White - we've got another sick dog and will definitely be using her and this service again. I can't say enough good things about it - you won't be disappointed.

I cannot thank Dr. Natalie Dennis enough for her exceptional kindness and compassion during one of the most difficult times in our lives. She was incredibly gentle and caring not only to us but also to our beloved German Shepherd. Ranger, making the process of saying goodbye as peaceful as possible. I would highly recommend her to any pet parents having to go through this process. We're forever grateful for her support and care.
