Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in Columbia, SC
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.

As hard as it is to say goodbye to a pet, Dr. Amy Robert’s really made it as smooth of a process as possible. Not having to take my sick dog to the vet & getting to say goodbye & spend our last moments in our own home really made the process easier & more comforting. She was very sweet & understanding & I would fully recommend.
Dr Courtney Mills was excellent. She is very loving, explained what was going to happen clearly, allowed both of our dogs to become comfortable with her before she did anything. She said it best, her job was to be as gentle as possible. She was. CodaPet made the whole process easier.
Our beloved 17-year-old kitty Lil had been struggling with arthritic pain for some time and when one morning she was unable to stand or walk without pain, we made the difficult decision to help her cross the rainbow bridge. We didn’t want to subject her to any more vet visits, which were highly stressful for her. We found CodaPet through a Google search for in-home euthanasia. Dr Jacque Murray was, fortunately, in our service area. We were able to read her profile and knew that we wanted her to help us. We could not have wished for a more peaceful, beautiful, loving send-off for our Lil. She was in the place that she was most comfortable in the whole world, in our bed with my husband and me at her side. Dr Murray’s calm and caring energy and our soft conversation was comforting, too, to Lil and to us. Dr Murray explained the process to us and answered our questions. She was kind, caring, and so very respectful of Lil and us throughout. We are eternally grateful for her help.
We are beyond grateful to Dr. Angela De Villa for the incredible compassion and care she showed during one of the most difficult moments our family has ever faced. Saying goodbye to our beloved dog Benny was heartbreaking, but Dr. Angela made the experience peaceful, dignified, and filled with empathy. As young pet owners going through this process for the first time, we were full of questions, uncertainty, and emotion. Upon arrival, Dr. Angela immediately validated our decision with warmth and understanding. She gently evaluated Benny’s current state, helping us feel reassured that we were making the most loving choice for him—even though it was incredibly hard. Her calm, steady presence brought comfort and clarity to a situation that felt overwhelming. What truly stood out was the way she had prepared her vehicle for Benny’s final journey to cremation—softly lit with floral arrangements and set up with such thoughtful care. It felt more like a tribute than a transport, and it meant the world to us knowing he was treated with such dignity. That level of care meant the world to us. She treated Benny not just as a pet, but as a cherished soul. She walked us through every step of the process with patience and deep compassion. Her tenderness with Benny, and her respect for his life and our love for him, was unforgettable. We never felt rushed, only supported. Dr. Angela also provided us with keepsakes to remember Benny—beautiful, thoughtful mementos that we will always hold close. They brought a sense of peace and connection that continues even now. Thanks to Dr. Angela, Benny was able to spend his final moments at home, surrounded by the people who loved him most. We will forever be grateful for the grace, professionalism, and heart she brought to one of the hardest days of our lives. We wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Angela to any pet family facing this impossible goodbye. Her presence was a true gift, and we will never forget her care for Benny—and for us.
Dr. Harper is a gift! She has the sweetest soul and I could not have imagined another person helping our little Buddy find a soft landing. Buddy loved his cotton blankets, he used the puffs to shield his eyes from sunlight as he napped in his senior years. She was Buddy's blanket as he crossed over, she shielded him from suffering. We gave her that blanket to take with her, we will never forget her! -May God keep watch over the angels among us. Love the Morrison's
I simply cannot imagine a more peaceful, supportive way to say goodbye to your pet. Our beloved hound was unable to stand on her last day and rather than pick her up and carry her to her vet (which would have been painful and confusing), we called Dr. Gordon who worked us in as soon as possible. She treated us and Sahara with dignity and respect and allowed us to say goodbye in the comfort of our home. Thank you for this invaluable service.
