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. Karen Duncan was so compassionate and professional . Words cannot describe how grateful we were to have her come into our home and make such a difficult time so peaceful. Karen explained the whole process and her kindness and compassion helped ease our grief. Thank you.
No words can describe how unbearable it was to put down my girl, but Dr. Krueger made it go as smooth as it possibly could have gone. Jessie wasn't supposed to make it through the night so we were very lucky Dr. Krueger arranged something after-hours for us. Our vet urged us to put her down there at the vet, but I'm so grateful we didn't. Jessie had the opportunity to fall asleep, at home, in my lap, eating her favorite food, for the very last time. Thank you CodaPet and Dr. Kreuger.
Dr. Brittany was absolutely amazing. I will recommend her to everyone that I know when they are looking for a peaceful experience for their pet. My husband was running 20 minutes late for our appointment due to work and she offered to wait until he got home. My 3 daughters were very unsure about the whole process since Mr. Smalls was their first dog. Dr. Brittany took the time to explain everything and to make sure that my girls were ready to move forward to each step in the process before actually doing so. She allowed us as much time as we needed and it meant a lot to our whole family. She was insanely kind, patient and understanding. I honestly cannot thank her enough!
Dr. Jill Thomason was kind, sympathetic and accommodating. She listened to stories of our beloved kitty and thoroughly explained everything that was going to happen. She took great care of our baby and made sure not to rush us. It total it took about 45 minutes, but we could have had more time if we needed it. She was also prompt and arrived on time. I would highly recommend her should you unfortunately need this type of service.
Saying goodbye to your pet is never easy. CodaPet allowed us to do it in a way that was minimally stressful for our pet and allowed her to be in her favorite place among all her family. Dr. Magnotta was wonderful and the whole process was made as good as it could be.
Dr. Lane was very helpful and comforting during the process. Having euthanized pets at a clinic I found being at home was so much better for my cat too.
