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. Christina was so warm, caring and sweet during the difficult time of putting our 19 year old cat down. She explained everything step by step so me and my kids knew exactly what to expect. She even provided a sweet grief coloring book to my kids. She was so gentle and thoughtful in handling my cat before, during, and after the appointment. I highly recommend her if you need to say goodbye to your sweet fur baby, as she made the heartbreaking experience as easy and peaceful as possible.
One of the few places where I was able to book an at home euthanasia appointment without having to speak to someone on the phone or wait for a call/text back. The pricing was upfront and on the website, most places you have to inquire to receive pricing. I was able to schedule it for within 24 hours. Jill came to our house to put our 13 year old kitty down; the process was quick and peaceful. She was super respectful of us and gave us as much space as possible during the appointment. Highly recommend. Thank you Jill ❤️
We had to put our Jack dog down. He had tumors growing everywhere and we tried to mitigate each challenge until the pain came in and Jack gave us the signal- it was time; he was done fighting. Oh that was so painful, I couldn’t even talk through the knots in my throat. I looked online and booked Dr. Lori without having to say a word to anyone. When she got here, she walked us through each step and gave us as much time as we needed before she did anything and through the process. His loss echoes in the house and our hearts but I’m so glad he got to transition on sleeping peacefully, surrounded by family, in his home, on his bed. The right sounds, the right smells, the right feels.Rest easy Jacky, we love you.
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 🖤
Dr Charline Christoff was an angle. The care she give our beloved Peaches was everything we could hope for. She explained step by step how Peaches would fall comfortably asleep and pass over the rainbow bridge. I am so grateful she was at home and on her own bed and not in a cold sterile environment. Thank you Dr Charline for your compassion and support. Gratefully yours Bonnie
Dr. Jem was beyond wonderful. I was so nervous about the whole experience, but she made it calm and peaceful. I will forever be grateful!
