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.

Dr. Cara Mitchell helped my family get through one of the most difficult and emotionally challenging moments in our life. Mosely had been there since the beginning of my relationship with my wife. For 15 years he was our first ‘child,’ our constant companion, and a huge part of our family. When the time came to say goodbye, we knew we wanted it done peacefully at home, and Dr. Mitchell made that possible in the most gentle, respectful way imaginable. From the initial call to schedule, she was kind, patient, and understanding of how hard this was for us. She arrived on time, explained every step clearly so we knew exactly what to expect, and gave us all the space we needed to love on Mosely and say our goodbyes without any rush. Her demeanor was calm and reassuring, which helped ease the anxiety for both us and our dog. Mosely passed quietly and comfortably, surrounded by our love for him. No one could have handled this better. Dr. Mitchell’s compassion, professionalism, and expertise turned an unbearable situation into something as dignified and loving as possible. If you’re facing this heartbreaking decision, I can’t recommend her highly enough. She truly made a world of difference for our family. This was difficult to write, but sharing our experience feels important if it helps even one other family. Thank you, Dr. Mitchell, from the bottom of our hearts. -The Weinstocks
Dr Gregory Macdonald was the BEST. She knew exactly what to say…how to reassure us that Molly would not suffer, left us private time, answered all our questions…even helped my husband carry Molly to her final resting place in our back yard. HEr kindness will not be forgotten. THank you. I would highly recommend Dr McDonald and the CodaPet service.
I'm so grateful to have found CodaPet and Dr. Amy DeWitt. This made our decision a little easier and Dr. Amy acted with so much care, respect, and compassion. I'm glad we were able to say a gentle goodbye to our sweet Nova in our home in the spot where she spent so much time. I highly recommend.
There are no words to fully describe the gratitude I have for Dr. laura. Losing my best friend, Jack, was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to go through. His pain progressed so rapidly,almost overnight and after a devastating Saturday night for both of us, I was desperate for help! Not only did she reply within less than a hour of me asking for help on the codapet website at 9 at night but she stepped in and came to our house the very next day, on a Sunday! I was struggling so much with the guilt of whether I was making the right choice. She sat with me, listened, and gently agreed that choosing peace before he became completely miserable was the greatest act of love I could give him. Her knowledge, validation, and kindness gave me a sense of peace I didn't think was possible in such a dark moment. Jack was completely comfortable with her right away, and she treated him with such genuine sweetness. Seeing him so calm with her also made the process easier! She didn't mind where we started the process, she gave Jack time to decide where he was most comfortable. She explained every single step, making sure we knew exactly what to expect, she was gentle with him every step so he would stay comfortable the whole time. She never once made us feel rushed. We were given all the time we needed to sit, hold him and say our final goodbyes. She turned a devastating transition into a beautiful, dignified, and calm experience for my sweet boy in the comfort of his own home. She is truly an angel, and I cannot recommend her enough!!
Dr. Valentino was caring and professional with my girl Keiko. She transitioned her over the rainbow bridge with peace and comfort. Thank you so much.
Dr. Morgan Lowman provided one of the most compassionate and peaceful experiences we could have hoped for during an incredibly difficult time. Saying goodbye to our pup Louie was heartbreaking, but having the option for in-home euthanasia made all the difference for our family and for him. Dr. Lowman was gentle, patient, and deeply respectful throughout the entire process. She took the time to explain everything, allowed us the space we needed, and treated our pet with such kindness and dignity. Being able to say goodbye at home, in a familiar and comfortable environment, brought a sense of calm that we are truly grateful for. Her compassion and professionalism helped turn a painful moment into one that felt peaceful and full of love. We will always be thankful for the care she showed both our pet and our family. Thank you for traveling to Manassas, VA late Sunday evening, and for letting us say goodbye to Louie in a way that was right for him and for us.
