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 Thomason made our beloved cat's passing a calm, peaceful, and loving event. She was responsive, and her communication was kind and professional. When the day came, she took the time to let our kitty acclimate to her presence by speaking calmly and lovingly, eventually luring her out from her hiding place with treats etc. I am so grateful our kitty passed in a state of "exploring a new human", peacefully and seemingly oblivious to any discomfort. I highly recommend Dr Thomason.
Dr. Gordan was wonderful with us during one of the worst days of our life. She was so patient and kind. We are really grateful for her.
Dr. Lara Allison made an incredibly sad and difficult day a beautiful experience for our family. She immediately helped our beloved dog feel safe and comfortable while walking us through the process. We are eternally grateful for our friend who recommended her to us because she helped us honor our dog’s life while guiding him over the rainbow bridge.
Dr. Cara Mitchell is by far the best vet i have ever encountered. She was very patient and gentle my dog showed no pain at all during the process and passed peacefully.
Saying goodbye to our sweet boy, Moose, was heartbreaking for my husband and I. We are so thankful we chose to have Dr. Sarah Clem come to the house. She made this incredibly difficult experience go as smoothly as possible. She made sure we understood everything before the process started, and her gentleness and compassion for us and Moose is something we will always remember!
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,
