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.

While the experience is not something I would want to repeat anytime soon, I would very impressed with the bedside manner of our vet. She was respectful, caring and supportive. Our cat Max had a peaceful entry to the other side. I would recommend this service to others.
Amazing. Dr parks was fantastic. Our old lady had so little clue of what was going on she gave my daughter and I a final high five,her favorite trick we taught her as a young kitty. She even timed the injection to our goodbye soundtrack....went out to "I'm sailing away " Dr Parks was so so thoughtful and it was a much more dignified goodbye than a cold metal table at the vet. Our old lady put up a slight protest as you would expect but that was a 30 second agony as a pet owner versus the getting them in a carrier...the ride to the vet...etc. Then it was just nap time in her bed
Today was a tough day for our family. Our beautiful GSD finally succumbed to degenerative myelopathy. Dr. Ann Gonnering was so empathetic and kind in this incredibly difficult time. She was thoughtful of ensuring our boy was not overly stimulated when she arrived and she was very understanding of our grief and gave us all the time and space we needed. We will forever be grateful for kindness she showed us in such a difficult time. It's a special gift for someone to be able to assist our pets with dignity in their final moments.
Euthanizing our beloved Ranger was one of the hardest decisions we had to make. Ranger had cancer, he couldn't eat he became weak and had lost so much weight that we knew the time had come to give him some peace. Home Euthanasia was such a blessing. Dr. Fowler was so kind and compassionate. Ranger passed away on his favorite bed, my son held his head on his lap as he peacefully went to sleep.
Dr. Stern provided the utmost compassion in our home. She was able to provide us all the time needed and prepare us for the euthanasia process. Our 16 year old girl, passed quietly with no pain or fear. It was our last gift to our girl for all the dedication and joy she brought us.
Making the decision to part with a beloved member of the family is never easy, but Dr. Laura made it a smooth and gentle process. Maggie Grace was able to leave peacefully in the home that she loved and was respectfully taken care of. We cannot thank you all enough for the peace that we have felt through this process.
