Thank you Dr. Lis! I didn’t expect to loose my dog Monte so soon, but there was so much comfort in knowing that when it was time to put him to sleep; he was at home, in bed, wearing his comfy pjs. The process wasn’t long for him, and Dr. Lis was very kind in the words she used to help me get through such a painful time. ❤️

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.

Dr. Becca and her assistant (sorry I forgot her name) were caring, patient and professional while providing this very personal, needed service that allowed us to give our fur baby the most comfortable and peaceful end to her life.

We recently had a beloved dog pass with the help of CodaPet. It wás very easy book the vet and the time. Dr. Cassandra Lewis contacted us through out the day reassuring us of her commitment to the time we chose and offering to answer any questions or concerns with the role she was going to serve. She was extremely professional and caring towards our pet and us . When the time occurs again, and it undoubtedly will as we have multiple pets,we will with out questions use the service again!

Coda Pet was such a blessing for us this past month. We had our beautiful Leyla girl for 14 years and our 3 daughters didn’t know life without her. When we found out it was time we just couldn’t bring ourselves to do it at the vet, we decided she deserved more, she deserved to be at home where she’s comfortable and is happy. I immediately fell upon this website while sitting at the vet crying and it was so easy and seamless to book an appointment quickly and set it all up for 4 hours later. Dr. Daniela was absolutely amazing. She was so professional, compassionate and loving with our baby and with us as well. She talked my kids through it and made us all feel at ease and comfortable with what was going to happen. She allowed my girls to lay with her and hug her through out the entire process. She didn’t rush us and allowed us to take our time. I have never had an experience like that, although it was painfully sad to say goodbye to her, it was very peaceful to see her cross the rainbow bridge in peace and with her babies loving on her. I highly recommend this service to everyone. Price wise, it actually was cheaper for us than the vet by a few hundred dollars. However, the experience and care were priceless. I can’t thank Dr. Daniela enough, she was truly so caring and thoughtful. She hand delivered her ashes to us and checked on us to see how we were doing. Thank you Coda Pet and Dr. Daniela for all that you did and do for our beloved pets.

I really cannot explain enough how Dr. Dennis helped us through this difficult time. From the very first point of contact before the visit to ease our hearts, to Dr. Dennis coming to our home shortly thereafter was amazing. In the time of need and heartache she made everything so simple, and actually better when saying goodbye to my boy. Dr. Dennis took the time to explain everything, gave us the time we needed, and was just genuine and heartfelt to my boy, me, and my whole family. I am blessed to have had her support in the worst of times. I highly recommend Dr. Dennis and CodaPet for a comfortable, easy, supportive and compassionate experience. Just how I had hoped myself when the time came. Thank you.

Dr. Dawn was the most kind and compassionate vet I’ve ever worked with. She has the biggest heart and talks you through every step you take make sure you can grieve and help your pet pass peacefully. I couldn’t imagine having to do this any other way than in our own home surrounded by family and our other dog.
