CodaPet adds Los Angeles vet for in-home pet euthanasia

CodaPet has expanded its in-home pet euthanasia network in Los Angeles by adding licensed veterinarian Dr. Ben Jasper. The move brings more end-of-life care options to pet owners in Los Angeles, West Los Angeles, the South Bay and the San Fernando Valley.

Why it matters: - CodaPet’s Los Angeles expansion gives pet owners another option for end-of-life care at home, where pets can remain in familiar surroundings with family present. - The service is designed to reduce the stress of travel, clinical settings and hospital-based goodbyes during an already difficult moment. - CodaPet says the model also supports aftercare planning, including transportation and cremation services.

What happened: - CodaPet added licensed veterinarian Dr. Ben Jasper to its Los Angeles-area in-home pet euthanasia network. - Dr. Jasper will serve pets and pet parents in Los Angeles and surrounding communities. - The announcement was made July 13, 2026.

The details: - Dr. Jasper will provide in-home euthanasia through CodaPet’s network of veterinarians. - His service area includes Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Culver City, Marina del Rey, Playa del Rey, Inglewood, El Segundo, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach, Sherman Oaks, Encino, Van Nuys and Studio City. - The coverage area also includes surrounding communities across West Los Angeles, the South Bay and the central San Fernando Valley. - Pet parents can book appointments through CodaPet’s website. - Before the visit, the veterinarian contacts the family to answer questions and concerns. - The vet reviews the diagnosis and uses a quality-of-life assessment to help determine whether euthanasia is appropriate. - The in-home visit averages about one hour. - The euthanasia procedure itself lasts about 15 minutes. - Families get private time with their pet before and after the procedure. - The veterinarian begins only when everyone is ready. - CodaPet says aftercare support can include transportation and cremation services. - Starting price for in-home euthanasia in Los Angeles is $465. - Aftercare and cremation start at $100 and vary based on driving distance, pet size and whether cremation is private or communal.

Between the lines: - The expansion reflects demand for care that blends medical professionalism with a less clinical setting for pet owners. - Dr. Jasper’s background in emergency medicine suggests CodaPet is recruiting veterinarians who understand end-of-life decision-making in high-stress environments. - CodaPet’s founders, Dr. Karen Whala, Dr. Gary Hsia and Dr. Bethany Hsia, are using a network model to extend access across more cities rather than relying on a single clinic location. - The company says its network now operates in more than 100 cities.

What’s next: - CodaPet plans to keep growing its veterinarian network in additional markets. - The company is also recruiting veterinarians who want to offer in-home euthanasia in their own areas. - More information and scheduling are available at the company’s website and the veterinarian sign-up page.

The bottom line: - CodaPet is widening access to in-home pet euthanasia in Los Angeles by adding another veterinarian and extending a service aimed at giving families a calmer, more personal goodbye.
