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.

When my sweet beloved cat, Dexter, was unexpectedly diagnosed with advanced lymphoma and was declining rapidly, this service was a godsend. Dr. Bruker came out to our home and was the perfect human being to guide us through the process of at-home euthanasia and provided transportation for cremation services. He was extremely gentle, soft spoken, and kind during such a difficult time. I would definitely use this service again in the future- lord willing not anytime soon.
Wonderful service. Dr Kate is very gentle and reassuring during the process. She spent time getting to know me and my dog and did not rush. She checked in periodically to ensure I didn’t need a moment.
We are a family that has had 2 dogs and a cat for a decade. It was such a hard decision but the time had come for one of our dogs. Dr. Lewis was responsive, patient, genuine, and knew the love that was pouring out for our dog. She explained everything each step of the way. We needed service at the end of a holiday weekend on short notice. The option of in home pet euthanasia was the correct choice for our family. It was peaceful and gentle. We miss our best friend. Her memory lives on, but we and our dog both experienced the comfort of being in our own home when we said goodbye and privately mourned after. I highly recommend Dr. Lewis.
Dr. Houck was very professional when performing the in home euthanasia for my dog. He was able to lay in his bed comfortably with his favorite toy. No nervous ride to a vet beforehand. She explained everything in detail and got him to the crematory for me. She made a very hard day a little lighter.
I had a great experience with Codapet when I had to put my dog of 15 years down with euthanasia. The Doctor gave me plenty of time with my pet before, during and after the procedure. It’s a difficult decision to make for your pet but you have to think of them and what they are going through by staying alive.
I miss my dogs. The experience of having the euthanasia at home was so much more peaceful for my old girls than any other previous euthanasia at the vets office with other animals . Dr. Sarah Clem was kind, considerate and helpful. I would recommend Codapet for anyone who is facing this difficult decision.
