From the moment Dr. Haros walked thru our door. We immediately felt his compassion. The way he spoke with kindness and authenticity were comforting. He explained each step in the beginning and continue to tell us what was going to happen as during the whole procedure. He stopped and gave us the time we needed during each step. Asked us if we ready for each step. We were able to send our Ace with him with his blanket and teddy. He took such care removing Ace from our home. We want to THANK him for the compassion and care for my family and our little buddy Ace.

Dr. Struble was so kind. Our dog started to go downhill quickly and Dr. Struble came out earlier than scheduled. She talked us through each step, loved on our Daisy girl and allowed us time to say out goodbyes. She followed up afterwards to check on us.

Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in Virginia Beach, VA

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.

She answered all of my questions and was very patient with us. She was great with Diesel. Could not have asked for a better experience in this difficult time.

During such a difficult time recognizing that our 12 year old lab had reached the end of his life, we were comforted to find an option for in home euthanasia. Dr. Lowman was incredible kind and compassionate. She explained the process and made sure we were ready and had time to say our goodbyes.

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.

Our experience with Dr. Chapman was the perfect way to have our beloved dogs life come to a close. She was so kind, thoughtful, and peaceful throughout the whole process. We are so lucky and thankful to find her during our time of need, and now will have positive memories during our dogs sendoff.

At home Euthanasia is a god send, my dog was comfortable in a place he felt safe. There was no stress, it was very peaceful. Dr. Karen was very respectful of our situation and our dog.

Dr. Struble was so empathetic, calm, and patient with my grieving family. She helped us understand, answered all questions, and was very giving of her time. I am exceptionally thankful with how she handled my six year old daughter, who was losing a family loved one for the first time. She made one of the most agonizing days as peaceful as possible.
