Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in San Clemente, 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. Sarah Clem was incredible and we are so thankful for her services. Top notch from the time she first contacted us to the time she brought our fur baby back to us.
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 🖤
The most Professional, and compassionate experience thru a difficult period of our lives. Very much appreciated not seeing, our adored pet suffering anxiety and discomfort as she was departing this earth. She was in the comfort of her home in her surroundings. Thank You Dr. Randolph your kindness will forever be remembered.
I scheduled an appointment with Codapet for Dr. Jessica Mumm to come and euthanize my cat, Wilhelmina. Wilhelmina had terminal cancer and had taken a turn for the worse on May 11th, when tumor started to bleed. Dr. Mumm was able to come the same day. She was very compassionate and told me in detail what she would be doing and how the procedure would work. She asked about Wilhelmina and I felt she had a good understanding and sympathy for my cat. During the procedure Dr. Mumm made a point to give me as much time to say goodbye to Wilhelmina as I wanted. Dr. Mumm was very gentle with Wilhelmina and displayed great warmth to her. Wilhelmina, who has always been very frightened of strangers, remained calm with Dr. Mumm, which made the experience much easier for both Wilhelmina and myself. During the actual procedure, Dr. Mumm handled Wilhelmina as gently as she would have handled her own cat. The euthanasia procedure was gentle and peaceful. I was so glad that Wilhelmina got to pass from this life so easily. Knowing that was the case has made the my grieving process easier. I am so glad that Dr. Mumm was able to give my Wilhelmina a good death. I would recommend Dr. Mumm for her warmth and expertise to anyone who wants to give their pet a respectful and gentle passing.
Dr. Dawn was absolutely incredible. She was so understanding of our situation and gave our sweet dog the best care. We couldn’t have asked for a better vet to have helped us through this difficult time.
Dr Michele Sims could not have been kinder or more understanding during the at home pet euthanasia for our pup, Bodie. She answered our questions and explained every step of the procedure as she went along. Our other pup was present during the euthanasia also. Dr Sims calm, compassionate manner helped make for a peaceful transition for Bodie which was reassuring for all of us. At such a sad time, knowing that Bodie was in Dr Sims caring hands was a source of comfort.
