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.

I didn't know that in-home pet euthanasia existed until my son had to say goodbye to his pet last summer. He shared with me what a blessing it was to be able to say goodbye at home, so I googled for options when it came time for our sweet Allie cat. Dr. Hundley was amazing, first walking me through the process over the phone and her kindness and respectfulness for our girl as she left this world. To be able to have a calm, quiet, familiar atmosphere was a true gift to both my husband and I and Allie.
Dr. Josh was amazingly kind. He came to help us say goodbye to our cat Mister. He described the process thoroughly had us take part as much as we were comfortable and gave us all the time we needed to say goodbye. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough.
My girlfriend and I were devastated when we learned our 8-year-old cat Sadie had renal lymphoma and that her kidneys were rapidly failing. The diagnosis was completely unexpected, and our poor baby's decline was unbelievably fast. Not wanting to stress Sadie and take her to a strange place for her final moments with us, we looked into in home pet euthanasia. We learned about CodaPet from Google, but our veterinarian also recommended Codapet when I called to ask for best recommendations for in home pet euthanasia. We reached out to CodaPet and Dr. Melisa Magnotta. Dr. Magnotta was so kind and understanding. We made arrangements over the phone for Sadie to be euthanized at home and Dr. Magnotta encouraged us to reach out with any questions, or if we felt Sadie needed to be assisted before the set time we had intended. Sadly, Sadie's quality of life deteriorated exponentially faster than we had anticipated and we needed to have her euthanized as soon as possible. We reached out to Dr. Magnotta in the morning and told her about the situation and asked if she was able to help us at her earliest convenience. Dr. Magnotta was understanding and was able to come quickly. She was so compassionate and kind. Dr. Magnotta explained the procedure to us and assured us that our poor girl would not feel pain, and that we were making the right decision. While the pain of having to part with our pet was inescapable, Dr. Magnotta and CodaPet gave us the calmest and most peaceful experience for Sadie we could have hoped for. When looking into at home pet euthanasia, do not hesitate to reach out to CodaPet.
Despite the circumstances of needing the service, I was able to reach CodaPet on very short notice. Dr Pickett was incredible and so understanding and gave me all the time I needed with my best friend and even answered questions the next day. My best friend got to pass with me in the comfort of his own home and I hope no one needs this service, but if you do, it was a smooth experience with friendly people during a difficult time.
I prayed for a peaceful, calm and the feeling of knowing we are doing the right thing and our prayers were answered. Dr. Ayala was there with us to make my long companion cat, Zen’s final minutes with us. She explained everything before hand and her timing for each step was perfect. She knows how to read the room. She has the knowing and I believe it’s her calling for all of us pet owners to have her available for us. I will never regret this experience. Thank you Dr. Ayala.
Putting your loved pet, to me a child, was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. But it becomes necessary to end your fur babies suffering. Dr. Laura DuBose came to our home with compassion, kindness and love for our loved one. She gently answered all of our questions and conducted the process with true kindness. No one could ask for a better person to guide you through this difficult time. I highly recommend her and her kind service in the comfort of your own home.
