Dr Glenn Jackson was very caring and compassionate when he came to our home to help our declining 14 year old Springer Ziva cross over. My last four Springers passed away at home, even though difficult,I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in Rochester, NY

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.

We can't say enough good things about Dr. Noe. She made a very hard experience easier with her kindness and empathy. She explained what was happening in such a beautiful way to our children and helped them create keepsake memories. She was quick to respond to my same day request, kept in communication, and made the whole process seamless which was greatly appreciated.

Glenn was extremely aware of the special bond between a human and their animal companion and his calm, sensitive manner was so supportive. I felt blessed to have had him present.

I thank Dr. Danielle for helping us get our son to a better place away from the pain he was suffering. We highly recommend Dr.Danielle, her way of working is so humane and sensitive, we felt safe with her when proceeding with euthanasia at home, she took her time, we talked and everything flowed naturally. Thank you for helping our son Coby have wings.

Dr. Hundley is an angel. She came to our home for an urgent situation after our elderly greyhound suffered a broken leg. She was compassionate and caring and provided him (and us) with comfort in his last moments.

After 16 wonderful years with our beloved dog, Mickey, it was time to say good bye. We chose in-home pet euthanasia with Codapet. Dr. Megan Lowman was so kind, comforting, and expertly managed this difficult day. Although this was a very sad day, we are so thankful that Dr. Lowman helped us provide a peaceful end.
