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.
In-home euthanasia with CodaPet's network of veterinarians in Santa Ana and the surrounding areas begins at around $465.

Our experience with Dr. Shannon Nakaya was superb. We had a wonderful 16.5 year old Honey Girl that God was calling. Our personal in-home pet euthanasia experience, was a beautiful, wonderful send off for our dog. Dr. Shannon was kind, graceful, and comforting. Also of note, we have known Dr. Nakaya for around 25 years, as she has been the vet for our parrot's health as well. I would never take any family member (pet), to a vet office to send to heaven, as personal in-home pet euthanasia is definitely the way to go, and Dr. Nakaya is the best ! Highly and strongly recommend. The whole experience was beautiful !
Saying goodbye to your pet is never easy, but when the time comes to make that decision, I couldn’t recommend at home euthanasia enough. Dr. Whala with CodaPet was such a blessing for our family. Her compassion, kindness, patience, and thoughtfulness with her plan of care for Sampson made an otherwise emotional and stressful time a healing one. Her heart for pets and their parents is evident in her care, and we will forever be grateful that she was there to help us say goodbye to our dog of 15 years.
I can't thank Dr Sarah Wratten enough to make the worst day of my life into a peaceful and healing moment. The level of compassion, love and guidance she showed not only my dog but also myself, was unexpected and will be eternally appreciated. My 15 yo Beagle Lady Dexter was at peace throughout the whole "ceremony". Thanks to her, this sad and hard experience gave me some solace to ease the pain knowing she flew away pain- and fear-free. Thank you
Karen was so gentle and amazing! She gave us all the time we needed to say goodbye! Couldn't have been a more peaceful time for my dog and our family. Highly recommend
Dr. Clem was very good at explaining everything to us. Very difficult time in anyone’s life. we very much appreciate being able to go through this in the comfort of our home. Dixie was as comfortable as can be expected.
I scheduled an appointment with Codapet for Dr. Jessica Mumm to come and euthanize my cat, Wilhelmina. Wilhelmina had terminal cancer and had taken a turn for the worse on May 11th, when tumor started to bleed. Dr. Mumm was able to come the same day. She was very compassionate and told me in detail what she would be doing and how the procedure would work. She asked about Wilhelmina and I felt she had a good understanding and sympathy for my cat. During the procedure Dr. Mumm made a point to give me as much time to say goodbye to Wilhelmina as I wanted. Dr. Mumm was very gentle with Wilhelmina and displayed great warmth to her. Wilhelmina, who has always been very frightened of strangers, remained calm with Dr. Mumm, which made the experience much easier for both Wilhelmina and myself. During the actual procedure, Dr. Mumm handled Wilhelmina as gently as she would have handled her own cat. The euthanasia procedure was gentle and peaceful. I was so glad that Wilhelmina got to pass from this life so easily. Knowing that was the case has made the my grieving process easier. I am so glad that Dr. Mumm was able to give my Wilhelmina a good death. I would recommend Dr. Mumm for her warmth and expertise to anyone who wants to give their pet a respectful and gentle passing.
