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.

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.
Dr. Gibson couldn’t have been any better. It was our first time with an in home pet euthanasia and as awful as it was to go through, Dr. Gibson couldn’t have been more understanding, personable, kind hearted or thoughtful. She walked us through every step and allowed us the time we needed to grieve and be upset. She was completely understanding. As awful as it is to put your fur baby down, I couldn’t have imagined a more peaceful and fulfilling process. If I unfortunately ever have to experience it again, which I will, I will be calling Dr. Gibson.
Dr Alexander was professional, kind and considerate when helping us with the passing of our beloved pet. She listened to our concerns, fears and walked us through the entire procedure right in the comfort of our home. Belle was loved and cared for during this transition-held by those who had been holding her for 23 years. Thank you. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Alexander should you need this type of medical support.
We had to make the difficult decision of putting our sweet girl down after a bout of bone cancer. We chose in home euthanasia and Dr. Gonnering was the most caring, thoughtful and compassionate vet. She gave us our time to say good bye and explained everything to us. We couldn't have asked for a better experience during this very difficult time. Two weeks later, we had to unfortunately put our handsome boy down due to a large mass on his spleen. Dr. Gonnering came with the same gentleness and compassion and we were so thankful for her help during this extremely difficult loss.
CodaPet, and Dr. Sarah Crozier specifically, brought so much comfort during an incredibly difficult time. Our family pooch of 12 years, Ranger, had cancer and we knew it was her time to cross the rainbow bridge. Dr. Crozier was incredibly thoughtful -- from her communication before the appointment, her preparedness (the bag of treats, supplies, and tools was impressive!), to the sincerity and time she took to let Ranger warm up to her and to hear all about Ranger's life, nicknames, and our memories with her. She was very skilled and explained every step. I have had to put down one other dog before and did so in the cold, sterile environment of a vet office. The warm and comfortable environment of home plus the nature of Dr. Crozier made this sad time much more bearable. If I ever have to go through the process again, I would absolutely use CodaPet and would recommend them to anyone.
We couldn’t be more grateful for Dr. Duvall and her compassion, care, and service to us and, more importantly, for our sweet baby Charlene. If you sadly need to use in-home euthanasia in the Decatur area, you’d be hard pressed to find a better vet for this difficult time. Thank you, Dr. Duvall.
