Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in Tacoma, WA
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.

I just called to ask for some help. Whom ever answered seemed confused. She asked me if I had a dog or a cat. I said a dog. Then she asked me how much the cat weighed. I let that slid and repeat. Oh no. This is a dog. I then proceed to inform her my puppy was abandoned and wanted to get him into a vet. She then says " you mentioned having a a vet?" Oh okay. Nvm. So idk if this is a one time occurrence or what. I won't be using this service again. Thank you.
I can't express how amazing Dr. Briell was on making Harley (and me) comfortable on her day of passing. She was very compassionate throughout the experience & after. Although she just met Harley, she loved on her as if she knew her whole life. I can't thank her enough for making Harley's final moments as peaceful as possible.
Thank-you for your kind message of sympathy regarding our loves, Hunter and Tucker. Your services were invaluable and our family is so grateful you could help our two pups transition. Forever grateful!
Saying goodbye to a beloved fur baby is one of the hardest things we can go through, and losing Papa Chico felt like losing a piece of my heart. He was more than just a dog—he was family. When it was time to help him cross over the rainbow bridge, I knew I wanted his final moments to be peaceful, comfortable, and filled with love. Dr. Josh provided exactly that and more. His compassion, professionalism, and gentle presence brought such comfort during one of the most emotional days of my life. He treated Papa Chico with the utmost respect and tenderness, allowing him to pass in the familiarity of his own home, surrounded by love. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience under such difficult circumstances. Dr. Josh’s calm energy and empathy made all the difference. I will forever be grateful for how beautifully he helped guide Papa Chico’s final moments. Thank you, Dr. Josh, for helping my sweet boy transition peacefully. Your work is a gift.
If I could give 10 stars I would. I have the highest praise for Dr. Sarah and CodaPet. Dr Sarah was compassionate, accommodating and gentle with our precious cat Sugar. Words cannot express our deep gratitude for how kind Dr. Sarah was. Sugar passed quietly in peace. Her suffering is over. Thank you, Dr. Sarah.
Dr. Danielle Chapman came out, listened to what was going on, and confirmed what we feared. When the decision was made, she was reverent l during the process. His passing was peaceful and it was a relief to know he was no longer suffering. I recommend her for one of the toughest decisions you'll have to make.
