Without reservation, we can recommend Dr. Sanchez, DVM as a thoroughly qualified and sincerely, compassionate practitioner. She traveled over 70 miles to reach us, arrived on time, traversed the weather impacted access route in her vehicle, and performed the compassionate resolution that we intentioned. Bisbee, our Siberian husky, was freed from the misery of her final fall from good health, and we had the peace of mind that her best interests were always foremost as our sincere promise to her. We express our profound gratitude for Dr. Sanchez, and confidently recommend her services, especially in a time of great need .

Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in Santa Fe, 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.

Thank you, Coda Pet people! It has been several months since my beloved senior dog was carefully and beautifully euthanized at home. He was calm and happy in the living room, and the lovely doctor was so good with him! I am only now able to reflect on that evening without shedding more than a couple of tears, but I do want others to know this is the best way to send our dogs or cats off without them suffering.

Dr. Christy was an angel. She handled my baby boy Ash so well and while it was difficult to let him go she made the event very personal and beautiful. I’m sure he appreciated her kindness and my family appreciated her as well. More people should look into this as a peaceful and personal tribute to the end of life experience. Thank you so very much.

Dr. Vernon was so compassionate during her visit to let our sweet boy, Gunner, cross the rainbow bridge. It was in the privacy of our own backyard & incredibly peaceful for him. No anxious car ride to go lie on a cold clinic floor. I highly encourage anyone, who has to make this difficult decision, to choose in home pet euthanasia not only for your pet but for yourself too ❤️

Dr. Sanchez and her assistant were wonderful. She was gentle with my dog, compassionate, understanding, moved at mine and my dogs pace. She was skilled, prepared and knowledgeable. I was a mess, she walked me through the process. I highly recommend Dr. Sanchez. I am very grateful she was available in my area. It was peaceful and I am content knowing my dogs last minutes were spent in her favorite place.

Dr Natalie Dennis was wonderful. She was caring and compassionate. It was very peaceful. They responded promptly to my inquiry and were upfront about the services provided and the cost. It made my furbabies passing a less traumatic experience. Would highly recommend.

I recently had the privilege of booking Dr. Heather White through CodaPet for in-home euthanasia services, and I cannot express enough gratitude for the experience. From the very beginning, Dr. White demonstrated extraordinary compassion and understanding during what was an incredibly difficult time for me. She approached the process with patience and sensitivity, ensuring my dog was never placed in an uncomfortable position or situation. Dr. White administered a "happy" medication that allowed my dog to relax and become comfortably sleepy. This gave him the chance to rest in my lap as I gently stroked his head and body, telling him how much he meant to me and what a wonderful companion he had been. Throughout the entire process, I never felt rushed or pressured. Instead, Dr. White created a calm and peaceful environment, which brought a sense of comfort despite the gravity of the moment. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. White to anyone facing a similar situation. Her professionalism, kindness, and care make an otherwise heart-wrenching experience as gentle and comforting as possible. I wish you and your beloved pet the same level of compassion and support that I experienced.
