Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in Santa Ana, CA
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.

Dr. Josh was amazingly kind. He came to help us say goodbye to our cat Mister. He described the process thoroughly had us take part as much as we were comfortable and gave us all the time we needed to say goodbye. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough.
Dr. Lori is an incredibly kind, caring, and compassionate veterinarian. She supported our family through the heartbreaking decision of saying goodbye to our beloved Wylie with such gentleness and grace. During one of the most difficult moments of our lives, Dr. Lori’s calm presence, empathy, and professionalism made Wylie’s transition as peaceful and loving as possible. She treated him with dignity and cared for us with genuine compassion, which meant more to us than words can express. We are deeply grateful for Dr. Lori and the comfort she provided during such a painful time. She helped us honor Wylie’s life in the most respectful and caring way, and we will always appreciate her kindness.
Dr. Laura was so kind and caring. She did not rush through things for me and Boca. Having the option of going through this in our home was so much better for us.
I didn't know that in-home pet euthanasia existed until my son had to say goodbye to his pet last summer. He shared with me what a blessing it was to be able to say goodbye at home, so I googled for options when it came time for our sweet Allie cat. Dr. Hundley was amazing, first walking me through the process over the phone and her kindness and respectfulness for our girl as she left this world. To be able to have a calm, quiet, familiar atmosphere was a true gift to both my husband and I and Allie.
You never want to have to say goodbye to a pet but Dr. Pruett make the process so much easier. She was very calming to our pet, and sympathetic for our loss. Thank you Dr. Pruett for being there for us.
I really cannot explain enough how Dr. Dennis helped us through this difficult time. From the very first point of contact before the visit to ease our hearts, to Dr. Dennis coming to our home shortly thereafter was amazing. In the time of need and heartache she made everything so simple, and actually better when saying goodbye to my boy. Dr. Dennis took the time to explain everything, gave us the time we needed, and was just genuine and heartfelt to my boy, me, and my whole family. I am blessed to have had her support in the worst of times. I highly recommend Dr. Dennis and CodaPet for a comfortable, easy, supportive and compassionate experience. Just how I had hoped myself when the time came. Thank you.
