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 hesitate to write and share this, but I want to save any grieving pet owners heartache if possible. If I could turn back time, I would choose anyone else. The vet hospital might have been better. Dr. Bailey was really cold and lacked compassion. She shoved tranquilizers into my dog who was upset without consenting us as soon as she arrived and was really hasty and rough throughout the process. It felt like she was there just to do her job and get out. She was not even gentle with my dogs body as he was being placed in a bag or taken away - she made it feel like he was just an object. I do not recommend spending your last moments with your dog with Dr Bailey. The whole point of doing a home euthanasia was to send him peacefully and to do it with someone who could make us feel at ease. Neither of these things were accomplished.
Deciding to let our sweet cat, Toby, go was the hardest thing I've ever had to do in my life. But it was clear his cancer was beating him, and there was nothing more we could do for him. We couldn't stand to see him suffer. I called "Codapet". The person I spoke with on the phone was so kind and considerate. She took all of my information, and thankfully, Dr. Lisa Fieg was able to come to our home that afternoon. She was very calm and gentle with our Toby. She explained the procedure well and made sure we didn't have any questions. We sincerely appreciated the time she gave us to hold him during the process. She even stepped out of the room, allowing us to be with him alone, after he passed. Everything went very smoothly and took about an hour. I had a friend who put her dog to sleep at home. She kept telling me it was a "beautiful experience!" I'm not going to lie. It wasn't "beautiful" to me. There was no way around it being anything other than a gut-wrenching experience. We were losing something we loved dearly! I cried so hard, I could barely see! I would have given an arm and a leg not to have needed to make that call that day! But, it had to be done. For that reason, this company, Codapet, and Dr. Lisa were a Godsend. I would highly recommend them to anyone facing an end-of-life decision for their pet. Everyone we came in contact with was sincere, respectful, beyond caring, and professional. Everything was timely and efficient, but never felt rushed or robotic. That day, 4/21/25, was our worst nightmare, but Codapet and Dr. Fieg made it the best that it could be. She got us through it and gave our sweet boy the comfortable release he needed, while he was held by two people who loved and adored him. For that, we are eternally grateful.
We had to say our final goodbyes to our Spanky girl last week. Dr. Dover made the process of in home euthanasia as smooth as it possibly could be. This is never an experience anyone wants to have but will be calling her again for any other in the future. She made us feel so comfortable and I wouldn’t have had it any other way than in our own home. Highly recommend her to anyone!
When I had to make the difficult decision to say goodbye to my sweet baby Rivers, I elected for in-home euthanasia. I wanted Rivers to be as comfortable as possible during his journey. Dr. Vosburg was a God-send. She was so gentle, caring, and compassionate with us and Rivers. She explained every step and what to expect. There was no hurrying or rushing, allowing us the time to say goodbye and love on Rivers one last time. I'm so grateful for Dr. Vosburg and CodaPet in helping Rivers on his restful journey. Rest well, my sweet boy! I love and miss you so much. ❤️
Making the call is so hard but we do it for our furry babies. I had my doubts if it was the right thing to do and I know with Dr.Daniela, she put all that at ease. I really do feel this was the best possible way to go. Dr.Daniela was so caring, kind, understanding, and informative. I knew my fur baby was in good and safe hands with her. It meant so much to me how she was so attentive to me and my baby. She made this transition a lot easier and did not rush our good byes. I would thank her everyday for making my fur baby peaceful and comfortable. She is one of a kind. Dr.Daniela is so strong for you and your fur baby.
I am SO grateful for CodaPet and Dr Lauren Ayala. I was let down last minute by another company and was able to easily schedule the very next morning right off my phone and CodaPet was much simpler and more affordable with even better memorial items. The visit itself was very peaceful, with Dr Ayala explaining each step and giving us time with our Melody and our other dogs. The wheeled stretcher looked so cozy with blankets and it was all so respectful and organized. Thank you so much for having this wonderful service available to the community.
