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. Orth was wonderful! She responded very quickly, which seemed like a miracle for us. She was very thorough and kind with our distressed older cat. She quickly assessed our cat Ronnie and agreed it was time. She explained what she would do and what would happen. She was very gentle and kind with our pet. She arrived totally prepared and acted to calm Ronnie and make the visit as comforting as possible. We can’t say enough good things about her professionalism and kindness to our pet and my husband and me. It’s very clear she loves animals. We would highly recommend her to help your cat in Sanger, CA area.
At home euthanasia made a very difficult process the best that it could be. Our 14 year old fur baby was old and sick and it was time for her to be relieved of her pain. Having her at home in her own bed, in a calm home environment surrounded by the people that loved her, was the best thing that we could have given her. Dr. Warren was so very patient and understanding as he guided us from beginning to end. He answered all of our questions, and allowed us the time we needed to prepare and say goodbye. I am very thankful that we found this service.
Our cat had reached the untreatable senior age of 18, and it meant a lot to say goodbye from the comfort of his home instead of taking him to the vet, where his last experience would've been stressful and upsetting for him. Interacting with Dr. Jessica was exactly what I was looking for during such a tough experience. Prompt, respectful, professional, and gentle. We thank her and CodaPet for their service.
I will always be grateful for Dr. White’s kindness, compassion, and patience with us as we said goodbye to our beloved kitty. She made one of the hardest experiences a little more bearable, and I cannot thank her enough for her care.
We recently brought the "At Home Pet Euthanasia" process for our pet of 12 years, Sophie, into our home. We used Codapet with Dr. Lisa Stadler. Dr. Stadler made an otherwise painful experience as dignified and as comforting as such an experience can be. WIth the help of very caring sedation, Sophie didn't suffer at all, which lessed our suffering as well. The ability to be with our Sophie, and make sure sure she was comfortable and trusting until the end in our home and in her place of refuge, meant so much to us.For anyone who cares about their pet, and wishes to make their loved pet's final days comfortable, painless, and dignified, we would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Stadler and CodaPet. The process was compassionate, and Dr. Stadler was incredibly understanding and compassionate.
Our sweet boy Blue took an unexpected turn Wednesday morning needing Euthanasia as soon as possible. I called CodaPet. Thank goodness they were able to have an opening within a few hours. Dr. Laura DuBose came to our home. She was absolutely wonderful, kind & compassionate. Dr. DuBose explained each step & told us to take as long as we needed to say goodbye to Blue. She took Blue with her to transport him for cremation. Under the circumstances I will say...everything went as well as could be expected. I do have 3 more dogs. If I need this service again, I will definitely ask for Dr. DuBose.
