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. Daniela is an angel. I wasn’t sure what to expect going through the in-home euthanasia process and Dr. Daniela was kind enough to answer questions. I was able to give my beloved Scooby some of his favorites: cream cheese, whipped cream, and as we began: his absolute favorite: cheeseburgers. Dr. Daniela explained each step as we went along and it helped calm me, which helped keep Scooby calm. I will be forever grateful to Dr. Daniela for helping me give Scooby the opportunity to transition with dignity in the comfort of his home. I had Scooby for nearly 12 years, the ultimate best friend, he helped me through illness, the loss of my father. I rescued him from a high-kill shelter, but really, he rescued me. I am forever grateful that I was able to be with Scooby as he transitioned and became my guardian angel.❤️
Although it was a tremendously difficult decision to make, Dr. Diana Phillips made it a wonderful experience. I have had to euthanize many pets, always taking them to a veterinarian clinic, but this was my first experience with in home euthanasia. When Dr. Diana arrived at my home she came in and sat down on the floor with me and Forrest. We went over his history and she made me feel more at peace with my decision. As he laid in his bed, chewing on his bone, he had no idea what was about to happen as she started administrating injections. Before long and he was snoring and then peacefully passed, in his own home, on his own bed. We let his brother and sister come in to say goodbye and then he was removed from the home. I will never do this any other way. The next time I have to make this decision, I will not hesitate to give her a call. She made the day 100% better. Thank you so much Dr. Diana.
I can’t express in words how much comfort it brought our family to say goodbye to our precious Sophie at home where she was the most comfortable. Dr. Goldberg was compassionate, respectful and empathetic to our family and Sophie. She made the process so peaceful for Sophie and us. She gave us the time we needed and was patient and kind. I would recommend Codapet and Dr. Goldberg to anyone who is facing this difficult decision. Saying goodbye to Sophie in our home and with such a kind person like Dr. Goldberg brought our family the comfort and peace we needed.
I always promised my Bailey a peaceful and pain was ending, and that's exactly what happened thanks to Dr. Daniela. Dr. Daniela did something completely different from anything I had experienced with my other pets, and it brought me an incredible amount of comfort during one of the hardest moments of my life. In the past, my pets were given an IV in their leg before any pain medication or sedation. It was upsetting to watch because they were uncomfortable, fighting the process, and clearly stressed. With Dr. Daniela, my cat never even flinched. She used a gentle three step process that allowed my cat to peacefully cross the Rainbow Bridge in my arms without fear, pain, or the discomfort of needles and IV placement. First, she used a tiny needle to give him an opioid and pain medication in the scruff area. The needle was so small he did not even notice it. She then waited about 10 minutes, and during that time he was completely relaxed, comfortable, pain free, and calm. Next, when I was ready, she gave him a sedative with another very small needle in his back leg. Because he was already relaxed and on opioids, he did not react at all! Then, when I was ready, she administered the final medication. The entire process felt gentle, calm, and compassionate. Dr. Daniela explained every step with kindness and empathy, which helped me tremendously through my grief. I am completely at peace with how everything happened. Knowing my cat passed away feeling safe, comfortable, and loved in my arms gives me enormous comfort. After experiencing this level of care, I would never choose any other approach for my pets in the future. At end, Dr. Daniela brought out a really comfy pet bed lined with fluffy blankets to take my fur baby away. That made me feel even better about the entire situation knowing his last trip was exactly how he would have loved it to be.
Our almost 17 year old baby-Maxwell was struggling. His mind and body was tired. It was the most difficult decision my husband and I had to make. We contacted CodaPet. Dr Mark Christine came to our home. With the utmost respect and care, Dr Mark gently assisted Maxwell pass on to his next journey. Allowing our beloved baby to pass at home as I held him in my arms surrounded with love and comfort of a familiar place was a blessing. I would highly recommend this service to others.
Dr Karen with At Home Pet Euthanasia made our experience with putting our Nalla down due to age and medical needs a very comforting as well as peaceful experience. I cannot say enough about how kind, empathetic and caring she was for the ease and comfort of our Nalla. Dr Karen was absolutely wonderful from the time she walked in the door till her departure with our beloved Nalla! Thank you Karen for your wonderful caring help with our needs. Mark Ragan and family
