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.
In-home pet euthanasia with CodaPet's network of veterinarians provides loving, end-of-life care when you need it most. Once you schedule a visit online, you will receive a confirmation, and your vet will make sure everything is arranged with care and clarity.
When your vet arrives, they'll begin with a gentle assessment to reassure you of your decision and answer any questions you may have. Your vet will always move at your pace, giving you the time and space you need to say goodbye in your own way.
When you are ready, your vet will gently administer a sedative so your pet can relax and drift into a deep, peaceful sleep. After the sedation has fully taken effect, a final, humane medication is given, allowing for a calm and painless passing surrounded by love.
If you choose aftercare, your vet will respectfully care for your pet and transport them for cremation, handling every step with dignity and compassion.

Thank you, Dr. Mary, for helping our girl, Sadie, peacefully transition from this world in the comfort of her home. We were grateful for your quick availability and your kindness and calm demeanor throughout the process. We would recommend your services to anyone faced with this heartbreaking decision.
Dr. Katie Todd is an incredible doctor, especially considering coming to homes for in home euthanasia. We recently made the decision to put down our dog and did not want to stress her with a visit to the vet, surrounded by strangers and weird smells. Instead we reached out to CodaPet and got in touch with Dr. Katie Todd. Making the decision to put down our dog was incredibly difficult and she made the process feel as respectful and compassionate as I could have hoped. The experience far exceeded my expectations.
Dr. Lori was amazing. My entire family loved how patient and caring she was while we were experiencing the most painful part of our lives by letting our precious soul dog go. She gently talked us through each step of the process and made sure we spent all the last precious moments with our Scooby without rushing us. She listened to all of our silly stories of our dog and the mischief he would get into. Once the procedure was done she stepped out and allowed our family to take as much time as we needed to say goodbye. Dr. Lori was so gentle when she swaddled our baby and even let us send him off with a couple roses. She answered all of our questions and she allowed us to contact her with any further questions or requests afterward. Dr. Lori's kindness made this painful process just a little easier for us. Also I would like to thank CodaPet for making online reservations an easy and transparent process that was very user friendly. It was very important for us that in such a difficult time we didn't have to go through too many steps with CodaPet. We were able to easily reserve a time to say goodbye to Scooby in our loving home among family. Thank you Dr. Lori and CodaPet team. We appreciate you very much.
Dr. Danielle Hundley is thoughtful, kind, and very compassionate! She explained every step and provided a calm, comforting presence for Orchid and her humans. I was so relieved to have services provided at home instead of a cold office. Thank you so much!
So thankful to be able to find a service to put my baby girl down at home in the comfort of my arms in her favorite spot! Worst day of my life, but they made it easier on me! Thank-you
Cannot thank Jessica Mumm enough for helping make one of our worst 24 hours into a beautiful goodbye. I think all pet owners can understand the difficulties of knowing when it’s the “right time” to say goodbye and I am so appreciative of her assessment and reassurance that we made the right decision. She took her time to explain the process and gave us as much time as we needed. She had such a loving and gentle approach to everything. The sympathy card we received in the mail weeks later meant so much to us as well. As weird as this is to say, I hope we can use CodaPet and Jessica Mum in the future with our other pets when that time comes.
