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.

Dr Brielle was a blessing in a time of need. She helped us and our dog feel comfortable. Her professionalism and empathy were much appreciated.
Dr. Devlin was amazing. Our family cannot stress enough how compassionate he was from start to finish with our at home euthanasia. He took time to review each step he would be taking and continued to express how time was not a factor. He gave us all the time we needed with our dog and not once did we feel rushed. Highly recommend him along with CodaPet.
She was super helpful and compassionate during such a hard time. I couldn't have asked for a better experience as this was my first time going through something like this. Thank you Dr. Lis 🖤
There are moments in life that break your heart, and saying goodbye to my Coco was one of them. In the middle of that pain, Dr. Lewis from brought a sense of peace I didn’t know I needed. She arrived a little early, gently stepping into our home with such warmth and calm presence. From the start, she spoke softly and explained each step with care, never rushing, never making the moment feel clinical or cold. Instead, she treated Coco like the beloved family member she was. Dr. Lewis showed such deep empathy — not just professionalism, but genuine kindness. She understood the weight of that goodbye and helped make Coco’s passing as peaceful, dignified, and loving as it could possibly be. For that, I will always be grateful. Afterward, her compassion continued. The sympathy card, the thoughtful follow-up, answering my questions, and delivering Coco’s urn with care — those gestures meant more than words can express. It reminded me that Coco’s life mattered and that our grief was seen. If you ever face this heartbreaking decision, I cannot recommend Dr. Lewis enough. She doesn’t just provide a service — she brings comfort, humanity, and grace to one of the hardest moments a pet parent can endure.
Dr. Rizzo was amazing, gentle, and kind. She walked us through everything and gave us space to say goodbye to our good boy. Will never do it another way.
Though saying goodbye to Lucy is still quite fresh, I need to share how very very kind, understanding and invaluable CodaPet was in helping us say goodbye. So gentle and considerate with her. Taking time to talk with her and us. There was no hurry up, it was calm and all went smoothly. I am so thankful CodaPet was our choice. I could not have asked for this situation to have been handled any better. Treating Lucy so gently and respectfully made it feel like they really care and I believe they do. This situation is already so so hard, I am forever grateful for their kindness and understanding for both Lucy and us. Thank you again for your help,
