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.

Saying goodbye to your pet is never easy. CodaPet allowed us to do it in a way that was minimally stressful for our pet and allowed her to be in her favorite place among all her family. Dr. Magnotta was wonderful and the whole process was made as good as it could be.
For the first time in 40+ years of dog ownership I needed to seek in home pet euthanasia. Two and a half years ago our 15 year old pitbull mix sweetheart, Cassie, was diagnosed with cancer and given weeks to live. She defied the experts for over 30 wonderful months. But the time came to seek help and Dr. Melissa Magnotto was one of my vet's recommendations. I contacted Dr Magnotto who called me prior to her visit to explain the procedure and answer any questions. Immediately upon entering our home she greeted Cassie, comforted her and was genuinely interested in learning about Cassie as an individual and her life with us. I have been able to find solace in that everything was so peaceful at the end for Cassie and her family. Thank you Dr Magnotto for providing such a valuable service to the animal lovers of our world 🥰
Dr. Sara Gardhouse was a wonderful guide through a really difficult process. The in-home pet euthanasia experience with CodaPet was seamless and as pleasant as this kind of experience can be. We were able to schedule and reschedule as needed to ensure we were honoring our cat and his needs. Their offerings were much appreciated and exactly what we were looking for.
Dr Nolfi was very kind and compassionate and gentle with our dog Bailey. We would highly recommend her services in what is always an agonizing decision.
Dr Jill came to our home, and was wonderful with our dying dog, Parker. As a surprise to me, she was just as wonderful with our other 2 dogs, inviting them to be there and acknowledge his passing, quietly, as a natural thing. Clearly Parker felt at ease, and seemed to understand this as well. We have had many pets thru the years; we'll never go back to the stress of going to a vet's office for their final moments.
This was an incredibly tough day for my wife and I. After our one-eyed wonder dog, Maggie, who "rescued us" 11 years ago was diagnosed with stage 4 kidney disease, spent 2 days in the hospital and sent home with us with no hope for improvement, we knew we had to allow her to transition in her safe place surrounded by her "people". We made the decision the bring in CodaPet sooner than later as she was already weak and confused and we didn't want to wait until she was bedbound. We were connected with Dr. Megan Loman who reached out the night before. I told her Maggie hated needles and we wanted to make sure this was as painless as possible. Dr. Loman was incredible. In fact when she arrived and introduced herself to Maggie, it was the first time in days Maggie wagged her tail. Dr. Loman gave Maggie treats and sedated her with a liquid, along with the treats, which put Maggie under, never feeling a thing after that. Most importantly, during this entire ordeal, Dr. Loman (now just Megan to us), gave us all the space we needed to say our final goodbyes. I can't give a strong enough endorsement to Megan for her professionalism and compassion. If the other CodaPet Vets are as good as she is, then the entire organization should get 5 stars as well. Don't know how she does this kind of work, but my wife and I thank God she does. * a friend sent the "heavenly" photo of Maggie, where there, she has both eyes.
