In-Home Euthanasia - Columbia, South Carolina
In-Home Pet Euthanasia in Columbia, SC
All three of Columbia's in-home options publish a price, which is unusual: Forget-Me-Not charges a flat $375 with travel inside the service area included, CodaPet starts at $350 with two named local veterinarians, and Lap of Love is $465 with a line answered at any hour. The differences that matter here are what the fee includes and how far out each one reaches.

Our Recommended Providers in Columbia
We reviewed the available options and selected these providers based on transparency, communication, and value.
Forget-Me-Not Veterinary
Best for Columbia families who want one flat figure with the travel already inside it.
Typical range
$375
flat fee, travel included
The $375 is a flat visit fee that already includes travel within the service area, time for your questions, sedation and pain medication to settle your pet, and then the euthanasia injection, so there is no mileage surprise. The service area is published town by town rather than as a vague radius: Irmo, Lexington, Chapin, Cayce, West Columbia, Forest Acres, St. Andrews and a dozen more, roughly a 30 minute drive.
One thing to know: Three things are extra and worth asking about: a pet over 100 lb, a visit that runs past 90 minutes, and a pet who needs extra medication to stay calm. Cremation prices are not published at all, and paying by card adds a 3 percent surcharge.
CodaPet
Best for families outside the city who want two named veterinarians to draw on.
Typical range
from $350
starting price
Two veterinarians cover Columbia through CodaPet, Dr. Meredith Somerset from Camden and Dr. Brian Ortman from Chapin, which gives you two calendars rather than one and reaches areas a 30 minute radius misses. The $350 start covers the initial contact, an at-home assessment, sedation and the euthanasia medication, cremation is quoted at $100 to $600 by weight and type, and booking is online.
One thing to know: $350 is the floor and travel is not included in it, so a home well outside Columbia can end up above the flat-fee local option. Both veterinarians are based outside the city, in Camden and Chapin, so ask how long the drive to your address takes.
Lap of Love
Best for families who need a line answered in the middle of the night.
Typical range
from $465
at-home visit
The $465 base appointment includes standard veterinarian travel, pre-sedation, the euthanasia, a clay paw print, a fur memorial pouch, aftercare coordination and access to their grief support groups, and the care coordinators answer every day of the year at any hour on (803) 752-0665. For a household that has not decided yet, that phone line is the service.
One thing to know: It is the most expensive of the three published prices, extended service areas add travel fees that are not published, and aftercare is extra. No veterinarian is named for Columbia, so you will not know in advance who is coming.
Questions Worth Answering Before You Call
Compare totals, not headlines. Forget-Me-Not's $375 already includes travel, sedation and the visit itself, while CodaPet's $350 and Lap of Love's $465 are base fees that can have travel added. For an address in Columbia proper the flat fee often wins; further out it may not.
Check your town against the published list. Forget-Me-Not names its area town by town, roughly 30 minutes out: Irmo, Lexington, Chapin, Cayce, West Columbia, Forest Acres, St. Andrews and more. CodaPet's veterinarians come from Camden and Chapin, so they may reach further. If you are in Lugoff, Elgin or Newberry, ask before assuming.
Ask about the three things that move Forget-Me-Not's flat price: a pet over 100 pounds, a visit running past 90 minutes, and a pet who needs extra sedation. None of these is priced on the site, and each is common enough to matter.
Decide how much the phone line is worth to you. Lap of Love answers around the clock, every day of the year, which is the reason to pay more if the decision is still unmade. If the appointment is planned, the two cheaper options do the same job for less.
