Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in Costa Mesa, 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. Megan Lowman was wonderful. Having a pet euthanized is never easy but Dr. Lowman made the process as painless as possible. Would highly recommend.
Dr. Vosburg made one of the hardest moments of our lives easier to process. Her naturally caring and empathetic nature put everyone at ease during our baby, Sherbert's, final moments. We were grateful to have the option of in home pet euthanasia and recommend this service to anyone looking for a peaceful goodbye. Thank you again, Dr. Michelle.
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 🖤
Megan was wonderful, she made a horrible sad day much easier. She was most professional and caring. You know her love of our fur babies was evident. Thank you and I would recommend highly. Blessings
Dr. Vosburg was compassionate and caring. She made a very sad situation bearable. Explained every step completely with great respect for our pet and for the family.
To say Dr Dash is an angel would be heavily understated. There aren’t enough words to express how genuinely kind Dr Dash was with not only my sweet angel, but also with me. I never want to recommend sending your baby over the rainbow bridge to anyone, as this was actually one of, if not THE, worst days of my life, but if you’re able to choose, please pick Dr Dash. Her kindness extends to great lengths, and I hope nothing but the best for her in her endeavors. She communicates well, holds no judgement, and exercises patience and empathy in ways I’ll never truly understand. Thank you, Dr. Dash, and thank you Coda Pet for being so readily available on short notice. Charlie sleeps peacefully now.
