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.

Making the final decision to let my sweet Myles go was the absolute hardest thing to do. Thankfully, I had heard of in home euthanasia from two different colleagues and I feel so blessed that they shared their positive experiences with Peaceful Passings/Coda Pets. Dr. Sarah came to my home & my Myles was comfortable in his familiar & safe surroundings. It was the most peaceful & loving experience. Dr. Sarah Clem was a Godsend - so calm, reassuring & supportive. My baby passed quietly in my arms. My grief is unbearable, but I am so at peace with how my Myles departed. I will only look to in home euthanasia for my future pets. Thank you Dr. Sarah.
Dr. Elizabeth was incredible. She calmly walked us through the process and allowed questions to be asked. She gracefully stepped into the space, connected with our dear dog and assessed the different personalities in the room. This was the best way in which we could honor this difficult time and we are grateful to Dr. Elizabeth.
After a 6 month fight with lymphoma, our family pet was nearing the end of her life. She refused to eat or drink, was not longer vocal, and was rendered almost completely immobile. Our primary vet suggested it was time, so we scheduled an appointment to “put her down” a few days later. We were devastated but committed to making sure she felt as comfortable and loved as possible in her remaining days. I turned to a generative AI for advice. “In Home Euthanasia” was repeatedly mentioned in my results - I wasn’t aware this service existed. I located a local palliative care veterinarian who was otherwise unavailable, which required me to broaden my search to determine if a similar practitioner might travel from Fresno or Bakersfield (both approximately an hour drive away) to assist. The travel fee for coming to our family home in Tulare was reasonable, especially under the circumstances. We were so blessed to find Dr. Whala. Our cat didn’t realize she was in the presence of a vet. Dr. Whala was kind, patient, and gentle with our Kitty, and incredibly empathetic with my wife and I. Though we questioned whether we were doing the “right” thing up until the last moment, once the process was over, it was clear we’d made the correct choice in choosing in-home euthanasia. Our cat barely flinched during the process (which was slow and steady, loving and intentional), and passed peacefully, in our home, with no noticeable anticipation, unafraid, in the presence of the people who loved her most. I couldn’t recommend this process or Dr. Whala enough!! Thank you for providing this invaluable service and for being so kind to us and to Kitty, Dr. Whala!
Dr. Briell Dzierga was amazing. She made sure that everything went as smooth and easy as possible for the circumstance. She explained the process and how it would take place and helped ease our minds for this difficult decision. She made sure our beloved dog was as comfortable as possible during the whole process as well. I would highly recommend her to anyone faced with this tough situation.
From the very first phone call to scheduling the in home euthanasia till the final hours, the team was so comforting and understanding. When Dr Thomason arrived I was sitting on the front porch with my dog because he loved sitting in the sun. Dr Thomason sat with us allowing my dog to enjoy the warm of the sun. He welcomed her with tons of kisses and she loved on him. She allowed me the time I needed to say good bye. I would highly recommend Coda pet and Dr Thomason.
