Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in San Jose, 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.

We opted with home euthanasia and was not disappointed at all. From the beginning to end, Dr Gary was very professional, very kind and very supportive through this difficult decision. He sat on the floor where our dog was and proceeded the procedure where our dog was not comfortable. Dr Gary gave stepped outside to give us time to grieve. I definitely would recommend him!
Dr. Gary Hsia showed empathy and compassion when we had to make the heartbreaking decision of putting our 13-year old pug out of his pain/suffering from cancer. Dr. Hsia handled Rocky with much care and attention to his every detail and need. The experience of being able to provide love and comfort for Rocky in his own home by utilizing this method made this already difficult experience of his passing, just a little bearable. The card and the delivery of Rocky's remains made it personal. - Thank you Dr. Hsia (and Bethany) - Jodi W.
We lost 3 pets within 1 year. There is a reason we keep calling Dr Gary Hsia. He is patient and respectful. His services allowed our pets to be where they were most comfortable in their last moments.
"Dr. Orth was wonderful. This is always such a heartbreaking day to have to decide the fate of your animal. I was emotional and crying the whole time, but it’s normal and okay to be sad. Dr. Orth made our girl calm and happy and I wouldn’t have done it any other way. Our girl was almost 17, she lived a wonderful life all the to the end. It really was a peaceful goodbye and I would highly recommend coda pet to anyone. Worth every penny."
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.
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.
