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. Dennis provides a compassionate way for pets to pass peacefully at home. She was incredibly kind and patient, listening as I shared stories about our beloved old dog before gently and humanely helping her cross the Rainbow Bridge. I am deeply grateful for her professionalism and care, and I highly recommend her to anyone facing this difficult moment. Annie I
Dr. Delia came to my home to help my beloved Enzo cross the rainbow bridge after 14 years as my constant companion. This was one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever had to make, and I wanted Enzo to leave this world with dignity, peace, and love. Dr. Delia was extraordinarily kind, gentle, and compassionate from the moment she arrived. She created a calm, unhurried space and never once made me feel pressured. She explained everything clearly and with such empathy, which made an incredibly painful moment more bearable. Because we were at home, Enzo was relaxed and not anxious the way he would have been in a veterinary office. He was calm, surrounded by love, and at peace. As strange as it sounds to say, it was as good an experience as is possible during such a heartbreaking time. I am deeply grateful to Dr. Delia for honoring Enzo’s life and helping him pass with such grace. I couldn’t have asked for a more compassionate way to say goodbye.
It's never an easy decision to let a beloved pet go but CodaPet were so accommodating when the time came for us to say goodbye to our dog. We had provisionally made an appointment with another company but unfortunately our dog took a turn for the worse and we discovered CodaPet could fit us in at short notice and we're so thankful that we went with CodaPet. Booking was seamless and we were so happy with Dr. Lutri. She was available for advice immediately and even accommodated our request to move our appointment up slightly because our dog was declining fast. Dr. Lutri, Daniela, arrived to our home and was able to make our dog comfortable immediately. He even perked up to greet her, he seemed to know she was here to help. She was so friendly, calming and caring and talked us through every aspect of the appointment and it was clear that she takes great pride in her work. She was very patient with us and helped us through such a difficult day. She took our dog away tucked up comfortably in a bed to arrange for his cremation and returned his ashes to us personally in a beautifully presented box alongside a clay pawprint and a noseprint. She has followed up with us throughout the week and a half since our dog's passing which is truly above and beyond expectations. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend CodaPet and Dr. Lutri to anyone whose pet is reaching the end of their life and who wants it to be as comfortable as possible for them. Thank you CodaPet and Daniela.
It was a peaceful, non stressful event for both our beloved Reilly and ourselves. Thanks to CodaPet for providing a wonderful and caring vet to help him onto a better place.
Dr Lisa Littlejohn was fantastic. She explained every step of the process. She was very comforting to my German Shepherd and My wife and I. She showed much compassion and helped us feel at ease. I would highly recommend Dr Lisa Littlejohn for at home Euthanasia. Rest In Peace my Sophia girl.
Dr Alexandra Loughmiller Was an angel that came for my sweet Jax. She was so kind yet professional. She handle led Jax’s in home pet euthanasia so lovingly. Not just for us but for Jax. The normal anxiety he’d get from vet trips. I knew I never wanted his last feelings to be fear and anxiety. Putting him to sleep at home was by far the greatest gift to your beloved pet before their departure. Y’all are angels
