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.

Laura was professional, gentle, and deeply compassionate. Having the process done at home brought a sense of comfort and peace during an incredibly difficult moment, and we are very grateful for her care.
This was our first time using at home euthanasia. I would highly recommend if you are able to do this please do. The doctor was one of the most compassionate doctors that I have ever met. The compassion she had towards us as a family , and our beloved pet of 20 years was absolutely amazing. She took her time with our daughter who grew up with our dog since she was a little girl. The true definition of a soul dog. I thank her from the bottom of our hearts. The appointment process online was easy to follow. I would highly recommend that if you need to make this decision please use this company.
I was faced with the most difficult decision a few weeks ago when my beloved 15 year old Himalayan kitty Toby began having seizures. I tried medicines but they failed. He had been so healthy for his entire life. He only went to the Vets office for his vaccinations . He HATED going . It always made him so scared. When it became clear to me that the right decision for my baby boy was to let him go, I could not face the idea of that experience being at the one place that would traumatize him. There was no way that I could live with his last experience on this earth be one that caused him to be filled with fear. I somehow remembered a friend of mine saying years ago that her pup was put to sleep at her house. I googled “at home pet Euthenasia” and came across this service. I can’t express in words how deeply grateful I am for this option to provide him a peaceful transition in the place where he felt safe and loved . Dr Kim was incredibly compassionate throughout the entire process. This included check ins with me on the status of my boy several times prior to my appt date to be sure that I was comfortable with the decision , the day of care was amazing, and a text checking on me the day after. If you want the most peaceful way to say farewell to your sweet fur baby then this is the service that you want to use!!
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 🖤
In home pet euthanasia is the way we said goodbye to our oldest friend. It was expensive, but it was the price we were willing to pay to see our dog out of his suffering, at home where he was the most comfortable. Dr. Joanne Dixon was really sweet and professional, explaining all details of the process in an informative and compassionate way. She hopped up on the bed with us to administer care, making the experience the best it can be under the circumstance. I would recommend her, and I thank her.
Dr. Alex Pruett helped us through an incredibly difficult, sad day with so much compassion. She is an angel on earth. The care she provided to our family and our furry family member was so dignified.
