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.
In-home pet euthanasia with CodaPet's network of veterinarians provides loving, end-of-life care when you need it most. Once you schedule a visit online, you will receive a confirmation, and your vet will make sure everything is arranged with care and clarity.
When your vet arrives, they'll begin with a gentle assessment to reassure you of your decision and answer any questions you may have. Your vet will always move at your pace, giving you the time and space you need to say goodbye in your own way.
When you are ready, your vet will gently administer a sedative so your pet can relax and drift into a deep, peaceful sleep. After the sedation has fully taken effect, a final, humane medication is given, allowing for a calm and painless passing surrounded by love.
If you choose aftercare, your vet will respectfully care for your pet and transport them for cremation, handling every step with dignity and compassion.

Finding Dr. Mary was a godsend! We had been dreading the trip to the clinic and the stress that it would cause our dear Luna Belle. When Dr. Mary arrived at our home, Luna was snoozing in the sunshine on her favorite couch. We could never imagine a more peaceful passing. Dr. Mary was caring, gentle and compassionate.
She was super helpful and compassionate during such a hard time. I couldn't have asked for a better experience as this was my first time going through something like this. Thank you Dr. Lis 🖤
Saying goodbye to our beloved dog Luna was one of the hardest decisions our family has ever had to make. We chose an in-home euthanasia so she could be surrounded by the people who loved her most, and we are incredibly grateful that April was the one who guided us through that experience. From the moment she arrived, April brought a calm, compassionate presence into our home. She didn’t just perform a service — she took the time to truly connect with Luna and with each of us. What could have felt clinical or rushed instead became something deeply personal and meaningful. April gently walked us through every step, allowing us the time and space we needed. There was no sense of urgency, only care, patience, and quiet understanding. Being able to hold Luna, to say our goodbyes in the comfort of our home, and to have April there guiding us with such empathy made an incredibly painful moment feel, in some way, peaceful. It takes a special kind of person to do this work. April carries not only professionalism, but a rare kindness and emotional strength. We had just met her, yet by the end of the evening, it felt like she had been part of our lives for years. We are deeply grateful for her — for coming on such short notice, for her gentle heart, and for helping us carry the weight of that moment.
Quite simply, Dr. Josh Williams is an angel among us. And was literally a God-send when we found ourselves with the realization that we needed to provide our old gal Maggie with release from her suffering when her body could not keep up. Our preference was to say our farewells in our home. Her time came over a three-day weekend and we were so thankful to have found Dr. Josh. He was able to meet us at our home within Maggie's schedule and was so kind and compassionate. He explained the process to us, and we were by Maggie's side the entire time. Please do not hesitate to reach out to Dr. Josh Williams with CodaPet should you find yourself in this situation.
The booking process was as easy as it could have been, and Dr Katie Simpson was extraordinarily kind, gentle and patient as she helped us say goodbye to our beloved Sadie. I am so grateful to have found Codapet and Dr Simpson and will definitely reach out to them whenever we’re again faced with this difficult time. 100% recommend.
In home pet euthanasia is one of the hardest things a person who loves a pet can go through. There is anxiety mixed with grief. Dr Izlar was patient and explained the process clearly. She was gentle with our 14 year old dog Annie and we know that her passing was peaceful without pain. The grief is for the living left behind to pick up the pieces. It will never be easy but Dr Izlar was very kind. We are sorry if you are having to read this review because it is not an easy decision. It is a selfless one.
