Dr. Lis has been a veterinarian for 0ver 15 years , bringing warmth, compassion, and experience to every family she helps. Born in Brazil, she came to the U.S. after graduating from veterinary school, earned her veterinary license through the ECFVG-Tuskegee University, and built a life with her husband and children. Throughout her career, she has worked in general practice, shelter medicine, and volunteer services— it's also in providing in-home end-of-life care where she found a important calling. She has always known that caring for animals was her purpose. From a young age, through many pets in the family she felt a special connection with them and a deep sense of peace in their presence. After having to make the difficult decision to guide her own beloved dog through a gentle and loving farewell at home, the comfort that brought to both her pet and the family inspired her to help others through this incredibly meaningful and emotional time. She understands how important it is to honor a pet’s life with dignity, compassion, and peace in their final moments. Outside of work, Dr.Lis cherish time spent with family and friends, enjoying worship music, outdoor adventures, and a occasional movie night at the mall. At home, her heart is full thanks to three lovable chihuahuas—Patinho, Petitie, and Pipoka—and a tiny but spirited pet fish. Her life and practice are grounded in love, connection, and the belief that every pet deserves a peaceful goodbye.

Dr. Lisa Fieg was very accommodating and compassionate while providing in-home euthanasia services for my rapidly declining Basset Hound. She came out the same night after hearing that my dog was experiencing seizures. I highly recommend her for anytime one has to euthanize their pet and wants to have it done at home.

We can’t thank Dr. Daniela enough for helping us say goodbye to our amazing boy, Apollos. He had terminal lung cancer and suddenly was struggling to breathe. We knew it was finally time to make the difficult decision to say goodbye to our best friend. We contacted Dr.Daniela after reading her amazing reviews. We wanted nothing but the best for our boy and she is it! She went above and beyond. During our appointment she immediately put our pup at ease (he took to her right away.) The entire process, while one of the most difficult decisions, was the best final gift and thank you we could’ve given our pup. Dr. Daniella never rushed us, allowing as much time as we needed through each step. And in the comfort of his home, with his favorite blanket, surrounded by so much love our boy very peacefully went to sleep. We can’t thank Dr. Daniela enough for making this unwanted journey easier to deal with. We felt like a caring friend had stepped into our home to help us through the difficult goodbye. If you’re on the fence about what to do, I pray our experience will help you make the decision to give your furry family member the best send off you possibly can.

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.

The decision to put our handsome pup Rodney to sleep was so difficult. But the care and compassion we received from Dr. Pilago made this process less painful. I can't recommend her highly enough.

This was our 2nd experience with Codapet Dr Christina Vernon in less then a year. Our boy Loki age 9 a Pittbull 110lb had a mass on his rear leg it was getting worse over time but the only solution was amputation or keep him comfortable. We decided to keep him comfortable. When we acquired him from his previous owners he was sickly & about 60lbs. We knew try our best to keep him healthy & Loki knew will let us know. We determined it was getting close so we scheduled our appointment (hands down in home Euthanasia the best we have done in office at the vet so impersonal, rush you & they really don't seem to care like a cattle cart Next please, no way if you can affordit best solution). We woke up Saturday morning & we knew but we previously spoke with Dr Christina & asked might need you sooner & we did ( appt was for the Tuesday following). Dr Christina showed up Compassionate, Empathetic & understanding. Dr Christina gave Loki a calming gel hence a Pittbull to get him to relax, gave treats & chocolate which one dropped Loki was going to find that candy. Then we chatted & applied the sedative made Loki really relaxed funny he was always a loud snoreer but this was loud as he laid on my lap tagged his tail a couple times. Dr Christina asked if we wanted more time but you always want one more day & not enough time. Dr Christina got on the floor admistered the injection & Loki was at Rainbow Bridge greeted by his Sister & other siblings he never knew. We put Loki on a stretcher, cover him we choose cremation & a urn & Dr Christina will take him & bring him home. Even the back of Dr Christina car had a candle, blanket & beautiful rainbow bridge picture. Loki always one more day, slobber kisses, my cuddler, the dog hair or whinning to get on the bed. I miss you Biggest. Honestly if you can afford in home Euthanasia its relaxing for you the Pet owner, the animal & sometimes just want one more hug. Dr Christina Vernon again ❤️ Compassionate, Empathetic, Friendly & Amazing Codapet thank you

Dr. Diana Phillip was so compassionate and caring when she helped my sweet Rosie cross over. She explained the whole process very thoroughly and spent a lot of time with us. I can’t praise her enough, I couldn’t have asked for a more kind, compassionate and caring person to help us during this difficult time.

having had to put a few dogs to sleep at the Vets office, doing it at home was a much better experience. Dr Camille was wonderful, very respectful and an extremely nice person. She made the process as good as something like this can be.

Thank you CodaPet and Daniella for providing this invaluable service. We cannot express our gratitude enough. You brought us comfort during a very difficult time and decision. Our sweet Bella, the calico in the front, passed away at the age of 9 in August 2025 with Lymphoma. Losing our sweet Bella to cancer was heartbreaking. We are still in mourning, but we are so thankful we found CodaPet. It was Daniella who helped make Bella's last moments as dignified, comfortable, and painless as possible. This decision was extremely hard to make even though our veterinarians told us it was time. We decided we wanted Bella to be home with us and her siblings for her passing. After Daniella arrived at our home, Daniella gently guided us through the process, helped us get mentally and emotionally ready, and gave us the time we needed to say our goodbyes. She never made us feel rushed and went above and beyond to comfort us through the hardest time pet parents have to face. Our Bella passed peacefully in the home she knew and loved with her siblings close by. After her passing, her two siblings were then able to say their goodbyes. Then, Daniella placed her in a beautiful bed she brought and covered her gently with a blanket. Once we were ready to say our final goodbyes, we carried Bella to Daniella's car laying in that bed. The car was not only very clean, but where Bella was laid was decorated beautifully. There was even a little vase with flowers. We were then able to kiss her one more time as she just looked like she was sleeping. Daniella hugged us and let us know as soon as she received her ashes, she would bring them to us. We they came, she even made them extra special giving us clippings of her hair as well (per our request). Every detain from the time Daniella introduced herself to us to the time we received her ashes, was the highest care we could have ever received. As we write this review, we are filled with gratitude tears with every memory. Even though we wish our sweet girl, could still be with us, we are truly grateful we could give her the most peaceful passing at home with CodaPet. This is the best place to call for at home pet euthanasia! Sincerely, Brenda and Star Jeries
