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.

Dr. Lara Allison with Codapet helped us say goodbye to our yellow lab of 14 years. Our experience with this in home pet euthanasia was just the resource we needed. Dr. Allison communicated well and anticipated our needs. She also transported our pet and then returned her ashes. She made an incredibly sad time a bearable and peaceful experience.
This is a wonderful service. I am so thankful that CodaPet is an option. Dr Ramos was so nice and gentle with our Maggie. She explained every step and made us all comfortable. It was the best experience on our worst day. Maggie would have never made it into the vets office. I thank God for Dr Ramos. Maggie lived 10 years and 10 months. We will miss her so much.
Dr. Keri Wasmoen was extremely helpful and compassionate during our recent in-home pet euthanasia. She explained everything carefully, had a very kind and empathetic demeanor, taking the time to get our dog comfortable with her presence to mixing the first medication with a lovely treat that our dog loved. Although one of the sadder and harder adult decisions one has to ever make, she made it an easier and very peaceful experience. If anyone is considering the in-home route for this very difficult decision, I would highly recommend both this choice over in-clinic and Dr. Wasmoen to help you along.
I am so glad we used CodaPet for our dog Fritz. Fritz has always been anxious when going to the Vet. Using CodaPet, Dr. Lutgen-Dewitt came out to our house and Fritz was able to be relaxed in the dining room where has always enjoyed lying in the sun in the morning. He was calm. We had privacy. Fritz went to sleep eating a Vienna sausage while we petted him and told him how good he was. Dr. Lutgen-Dewitt did an excellent job explaining each step and what to expect. She was obviously highly experienced and prepared and so Fritz's death was completely painless. She was also deeply empathetic and caring and gave us time alone with Fritz once he was gone. I would 100% recommend CodaPet to any other dog owner who has reached the difficult place of having to let your pet go.
The decision to put our handsome pup Rodney to sleep was so difficult. But the care and compassion we received from Dr. Pilago made this process less painful. I can't recommend her highly enough.
I want to share my personal experience with in home pet euthanasia, in the hope that it may help other pet parents feel a little less alone during such a difficult time. I can’t thank Dr. Izlar enough for what she did for my cat, Lulu. Saying goodbye to a beloved pet is one of the hardest moments in life, and Dr. Izlar made it as peaceful and gentle as it could possibly be. She came to our home and approached everything with such calmness, patience, and compassion. Lulu was not frightened at all—she remained relaxed and comfortable the entire time, which meant everything to me. Dr. Izlar explained each step clearly and never rushed the process. She gave us the time and space we needed, while also guiding us with professionalism and care. It truly felt like Lulu was treated with dignity and respect until her very last moment. I will always be grateful that Lulu was able to pass peacefully at home, surrounded by love, without fear or pain. That is an incredible gift, and Dr. Izlar made it possible.
