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.

Dr. Lutri deserves a 10 out of 10! She was very caring, compassionate and highly skilled. Our dog did not suffer and the all the meds worked well and she passed away peacefully in good hands! Would 100% recommend Dr. Lutri to friends and family!! 🐕
When it was time to cross our beloved fur baby over, we used CodaPet. We have used another at-home pet euthanasia company, but our last experience with them was very unpleasant. Dr. Daniela Lutri came to our home and assisted our fur baby to cross over. We are deeply grateful to Dr. Lutri for the extraordinary compassion and care she provided during a difficult moment in our lives. Saying goodbye to our beloved fur baby was heartbreaking, but Dr. Lutri’s presence brought a sense of peace and dignity to the experience that we will never forget. From the moment she arrived, Dr. Lutri was kind, gentle, and incredibly patient. She took the time to ask us about our fur baby, and our fur baby’s health issues. As she became acquainted with our fur baby, she pointed out some other health issues that were obvious to her. Hearing Dr. Lutri share them with us validated that we were making the right decision. Dr. Lutri explained everything to us with tenderness and respect, allowing us to move at our own pace. Her calm and compassionate demeanor created a safe space for our family to grieve and say goodbye. The way Dr. Lutri guided our baby through her final moments was nothing short of beautiful. It was peaceful, serene, and filled with love—exactly what we had hoped for. Knowing our fur baby passed in the comfort of her home, surrounded by love and without fear, has brought us immense comfort in our grief. Dr. Lutri is truly a gift to families navigating the loss of a cherished companion. Her work is more than a service—it’s a calling, and we are forever thankful for her grace and empathy.
It was heart-breaking to say good-bye to our beloved cat, Yeti. When he was so ill he stopped eating and drinking, we knew we had to help him cross the rainbow bridge- he was in so much pain. CodaPet helped Yeti to cross to the other side at home, in a safe place, surrounded by love and family. At home pet euthanasia helped us make Yeti's passing as painless and stress-free for our cat as possible - a trip in the car to the vet in the cat carrier was one of his least favorite things. Being able to avoid that as one of his last experiences with us was a gift.
Dr. Lutri was truly amazing! She was very compassionate and understanding of the situation and made a very difficult time a bit better.
Dr. Daniela Lutri was amazing. This was a really hard time for my family and she was very compassionate. She answered any questions thoroughly and described the process step by step. I would highly recommend Dr. Lutri to anyone who is struggling the process.
Saying goodbye to our beloved cat was one of the hardest things we've ever had to do. Ee were extremely hesitant and nervous about having it done in our home, afraid that it would be too painful to witness. After having this experience I would recommend to anyone to have it done this way. Dr. Christine could not have been more kinder, patient, and gentle with us. He gave us plenty of room to take our time and say goodbye in the way we needed to and respected all of our wishes. We took on the pain and difficulty of the situation so our Kalina did not have to. She was calm and in her own environment and was given something to relax and fall asleep first so there was no apprehension on her part. For anyone reading this review I am so sorry that you have to go through this. It's the hardest part of being a pet owner. If you are considering this method with Dr. Christine, this is your sign that you are making the right decision and best choice for your pet.
