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.

There are moments in life that break your heart, and saying goodbye to my Coco was one of them. In the middle of that pain, Dr. Lewis from brought a sense of peace I didn’t know I needed. She arrived a little early, gently stepping into our home with such warmth and calm presence. From the start, she spoke softly and explained each step with care, never rushing, never making the moment feel clinical or cold. Instead, she treated Coco like the beloved family member she was. Dr. Lewis showed such deep empathy — not just professionalism, but genuine kindness. She understood the weight of that goodbye and helped make Coco’s passing as peaceful, dignified, and loving as it could possibly be. For that, I will always be grateful. Afterward, her compassion continued. The sympathy card, the thoughtful follow-up, answering my questions, and delivering Coco’s urn with care — those gestures meant more than words can express. It reminded me that Coco’s life mattered and that our grief was seen. If you ever face this heartbreaking decision, I cannot recommend Dr. Lewis enough. She doesn’t just provide a service — she brings comfort, humanity, and grace to one of the hardest moments a pet parent can endure.
Dr Charline Christoff was an angle. The care she give our beloved Peaches was everything we could hope for. She explained step by step how Peaches would fall comfortably asleep and pass over the rainbow bridge. I am so grateful she was at home and on her own bed and not in a cold sterile environment. Thank you Dr Charline for your compassion and support. Gratefully yours Bonnie
We've used the CodaPet Service many times and the comfort of having such a caring provider be at the house at a difficult time is amazing! Dr Whala was patient, kind to us and Pooch and professional. When this time comes again, CodaPet will be the first service I think of. Thank you for everything that you do Dr. Whala
Thank you Dr. Lis! I didn’t expect to loose my dog Monte so soon, but there was so much comfort in knowing that when it was time to put him to sleep; he was at home, in bed, wearing his comfy pjs. The process wasn’t long for him, and Dr. Lis was very kind in the words she used to help me get through such a painful time. ❤️
Dr. Delia gave our sweet dog Duke the dignity of a very peaceful passing. I am so grateful that my wife and I got to say goodbye with our dog in our arms, comfortable in his bed in the safe space of his favorite room. I absolutely treasure the clay paw print she made. This was my first experience with at-home euthanasia, and though my heart is broken I would highly recommend Dr. Delia’s services to anyone saying goodbye to their beloved dog. Thank you Dr. Delia-
Saying goodbye and playing God at the same time was very hard. This was our 2nd dog we had to euthanize. The first time we went to the vet. The vet was kind and we felt it was the best experience it could be. The part that was hard, on top of the pain my dog was in, is that he was petrified of going to the vet. This only added to the stress for my dog. When we had to euthanize our second dog, we were fortunate to have the ER give is a flier for in home pet euthanasia. We are so grateful for this service, as we didn't know it was even available. It was so wonderful for our dog and family. No rushing around and our dog was able to relax comfortably all day as we we able to shower her with love and comfort her. Dr Jem was so caring and really understood what we were about to go through. She explained everything and asked us when we were ready. Though heartbreaking for our family, it was peaceful and a much more natural experience than taking her to the vet. Everyone has their own way of dealing with this situation, and for us, this was the best it could be under the circumstances.
