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.
In-home euthanasia with CodaPet's network of veterinarians in Santa Ana and the surrounding areas begins at around $465.

What an amazing service! We are so grateful that Dr Devlin was able to make our Harlow's last moments so peaceful. I would highly recommend this to anyone. The convenience is great of course, but also knowing that your pet is relaxed and not being traumatized is worth every penny. They make it easy for you to spend your time with your pet, as it should be. Thank you again.
She was super helpful and compassionate during such a hard time. I couldn't have asked for a better experience as this was my first time going through something like this. Thank you Dr. Lis 🖤
I am so thankful we chose Dr. Katie Todd for in-home pet euthanasia in Louisville, KY. She made one of the hardest days of our lives feel as peaceful and comforting as possible for both us and our sweet boy Romeo. She was incredibly warm, understanding, patient, and compassionate throughout the entire process. She answered every question we had, never made us feel rushed, and truly made sure he was comfortable and stress-free the whole time. I can’t thank her enough for the kindness and care she showed our family during such a heartbreaking moment. We will always be grateful for the love and dignity she gave him in his final moments.
Dr. Causey walked through the door and put both our hearts at ease. Kind-hearted, nurturing, skilled, and conscious in providing the most peaceful goodbye to my girl. Thank you for every moment of peace and comfort you gave us. I could not have asked for a more beautiful goodbye. And to do so in the comforts of your own home is an absolute gift. The engraved box with ashes, paw print and clipped fur are blessings to add to this experience. Thank you for peace you gave that day and for the peace you continue to give in memory.
Codapet helped our beloved pet move on. They sent a wonderful vet - Dr. Krueger - who was very kind and explained the process and helped us. It’s a hard thing to do but I was very grateful for her support and for the service. Now our sweet girl is not suffering - she was terrified of the vet and so she got to be at peace at the end.
I am so very grateful to Dr. Vosburg for her kindness, sincerity and compassion that she showed to me during the most difficult time of my cat’s life. She explained the entire process and answered all of my questions. I simply cannot say enough about how awesome and amazing she. I highly recommend her. If I could give her a 10, I would, but I can’t, so I am giving her a 5 star rating!
