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.

Our experience with Dr. Angela De Villa was exceptional. Not only was she extremely supportive and compassionate, her skills made our Vinnie’s last moments comfortable and painless. She asked questions about our Vinnie and seemed genuinely interested in who he was. After Vinnie passed on she took exceptional care of his body making a beautiful area in the back of her car. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If I ever have to go through this again I will definitely reach out to Dr.De Villa.
Dr. Kelli sat on the floor with me, my husband and my beloved Doodles. Doodles was comfortable in her dog bed. Dr. Kelly verified Doodles medical condition. Dr. Kelli reviewed the procedure so that we knew what to expect and could ask any questions we had. Then I gave Doodles some hamburger while Dr. Kelli gave the first shot. Dr. Kelli made this experience as good as it could have been. Obviously I wished that this was not necessary and I still had my Doodles. I highly recommend Dr. Kelli.
I wish I could give Codapet a thousand stars! First reason is how easy it was to schedule online without having to call someone and wait on the phone for them to answer, especially when you're upset. Second, all pricing is listed without no hidden fees. But the main reason is the veterinarian they provide. There couldn't have been a better person than Dr. Walden. The time I scheduled turned out it wasn't going to be right because my Tinkerbell was in distress and passing quickly.Dr. Walden,whom I was able to text her and she gave up some of her personal time and come to us quickly! She was so caring and respectful to my little dog and us. There was no rush or "Business talk" because everything had been taken care of online. We also had cremation arranged in our package and Dr. Walden took her to the crematory. She was very gentle with my little dog the whole process. Even days after she was making sure everything had gone well with the crematory. The crematory they have a contract with ( Faithful companion) were also nice people from their phone calls to the young person who brought me Tinkerbell's ashes back. They provided a beautiful footprint and wooden box urn at no extra charge and resources for grieving pet parents. I couldn't have asked for anything better for my beloved pet to pass at home surrounded by loved ones and a caring compassionate veterinarian.
After exhausting all possible options to help our family dog, we made the tough decision to say goodbye this past weekend. We chose in home euthanasia as I believe it would be more comfortable for our dog to have his last moments at home and choosing Dr. Sims as our vet was the best decision we could’ve made. She was very professional and empathetic, reacting to our grief with warmness and a kind smile that really meant the world to myself and my family. We had to say goodbye to a family member, but Dr. Sims made that terrible moment far more bearable.
Dr. Delia was extremely compassionate. She sat with us and had a cup of tea, which allowed our dog, Penny, to settle and relax. It also gave us the opportunity to discuss Penny’s health and our decision—something we had been struggling with. We knew it was the right decision for Penny, but speaking with Dr. Delia helped us make peace with it. When it was time to say goodbye to Penny, everything was gentle and calm. We couldn’t have hoped for a more peaceful goodbye. Thank you, Dr. Delia, for your compassion and for making Penny’s final moments so peaceful.
Dr Perzak was incredibly kind, understanding, and supportive. It was a hard decision to come to and very emotional, Dr P really gave me piece of mind that I was doing the right thing and I am very appreciative of that.
