Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in Orange, 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.

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 🖤
I didn’t want to bring my dog to the vet, as she was always very anxious in that environment. Being able to say goodbye at home meant she could remain comfortable and at ease in familiar surroundings. Dr. Karen Duncan created a calm, compassionate, and peaceful experience for my 12.5-year-old dog. I’m grateful for the care and dignity she provided during such a difficult moment.
This has been one of the hardest things I've had to do. I was already having a hard time watching my dog decline as fast as he was and had found codapet from a animal rescue person on Facebook. I saved the website in order to look at it later on. My husband had commented that my dog was not looking good and that it was better to have a vet send him off then us finding him rotting away somewhere in our backyard. It was only because of my mom that I was able to do this for my fur son and send him off in a painless way. Dr. Sarah Clem was wonderful, she gave us options to store his ashes and I had already purchased an urn that I felt that was a good fit for my fur son's ashes. She gave us a paw print in a little case of his paw and was supportive to me and my husband throughout the whole process. He is no longer in pain and despite how much it hurts my heart, I know that it was the most loving thing I could do for him. It takes 3 weeks to get his ashes and she will contact us and hand them off to us when she gets them. Thank you Dr. Sarah Clem for sending my fur child off to the rainbow bridge where he can do laps for as long as he wants.
Dr. Pilago was so kind and patient with my family and my sweet cat who's time had come. When we scheduled the appointment, Dr. Pilago called me to confirm and to let me know that she was available to come sooner if needed. When my cat started to decline rapidly, I reached out to Dr. Pilago to see if she could come a day earlier. She was happy to oblige. The entire process exceeded all of my expectations and her kindness helped me and my family get through this very tough time. I highly recommend Dr. Pilago and would hope to work with her again if/when her services are needed again.
One of the hardest days we knew would be coming soon with our old man Cloud(14 yrs young) but ofc we thought we had more time. We're new to the area and had yet to establish a vet when his life quality declined over a matter of days. It's Saturday evening and Brick & Mortar vets are closed for the weekend. The emergency services have astronomical costs and an unfamiliar place/people sounds a terrible way to go. Thanks to CodaPet that wasn't necessary. I filled out the forms and requested an appt for the very next morning. The vet reached out and we spoke about expectations and questions. When the time comes and your facing the hardest decision I can't recommend them enough. Dr. Houck came to our home and patiently helped make the transition comfortable and familiar instead of a cold impersonal Dr's office. My old man laid in his favorite spot surrounded by his family as he passed. He deserved no less.
Dr. Lis Pilago was exceptionally kind, caring, and compassionate. I would definitely recommend her to anyone that requires her service. It is such a sad situation when you are losing a loved one but it is best to have it done in your pet’s most comfortable place; in their own home.
