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.

Thank you Dr. Fieg for your service, being empathetic, availability and walking me through the process. It was the service I need ed to be at peace to say my final goodbye to my Maya. Thank you 🙏🏼.
My experience with Dr.Lisa was so loving / comforting. She made the process very comfortable for my family and I , through this hard time. Saving goodbye to my Lily was not easy . But Dr. Lisa made everything go so smooth with the process. Thank you so much for everything.
Dr Daniela was without a doubt, the sweetest, kindest, most considerate and caring vet I have ever met. It's never easy losing your "baby", but she made it so much easier than it would have been otherwise.
Dr. Lara Allison was the Most Loving, Understanding and Caring Compassionate person ever. She did not hurry us in our saying good-byes, very comforting experience as our dog was family for 15 1/2 years. As I am writing this with tears in my eyes I was overwhelmed with the Professionalism of Dr. Lara . Thank You for understanding my grief ..It was a peaceful passing at HOME.
Dr Daniela has been amazing in this process, she made it very easy for us and we are very grateful for that . She did great explaining the process . She gave us the time and respected that we needed time to process the passing of our boy . Thank you Dr Daniela .
Dr. Cara Mitchell was the most kind and gentle person you could ever ask for. Unfortunately the circumstances weren't the best but she helped us in the most gentle way when we put our best old boy Kane to sleep. Thank you again Dr. Cara for being the wonderful person you are
