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.

Dr Jessica Mumms was incredibly kind in her approach. No one ever wants to put a pet down but the service she provided made the process a very caring experience. I would recommend her highly and thank her for her compassionate care of our Cat Gracie and of us her parents .
Dr. Mumm was incredibly compassionate and gentle during such an emotional time for our family. She took the time to explain everything clearly, never rushed us, and gave us the space we needed to say goodbye with love and dignity. Her calm presence brought so much comfort, and we are deeply grateful for her care. I would highly recommend having her involved in this difficult process. Thank you for making a very difficult day a little easier! ❤️
We are forever indebted to Dr. Kate White for making a very difficult day go smoothly and calmly for all. Her kind and easy going demeanor was a blessing. While no one wants to say goodbye to a cherished pet, if you have to go through it I highly recommend CodaPet and Dr. Kate White to guide you through it.
Dr. Pruett was so kind. She was so gentle and loving with our dog and her passing was very calm and peaceful. I was dreading loading her up and taking her into the vet because she always hated the vet. This option of in home euthanasia was so much better for all of us.
This service made this difficult experience more manageable. Our pet was able to pass with comfort and dignity in his own home. Dr. Kelli Bays was professional and caring and would recommend her.
The cancer taking our beloved Otis showed just how evil it is by timing its final act for Christmas Eve. By Christmas morning we knew it was time to let him go. Dr. Parks responded immediately to our calls for help and under her guidance we were able to get his bleeding under control and set up a time for in-home euthanasia on the morning of Dec. 26th. Otis, the true inspiration that he was, rallied on Christmas Day opening all his gifts with gusto and devouring his treats. Seeing him happy, wagging, snacking, and the family laughing at his antics may just make this the most memorable and meaningful Christmas that this Christmas skeptic has ever had. The celebrating took a lot out of him and we spent the rest of the day and the entire night by his side under the Christmas Tree. The next morning Dr. Parks arrived to take us through the finsl step - surrounded by family in front of the tree. We are, of course, devastated, but Dr. Parks calm and reassuring manner made this sad day as peaceful and reflective as possible. I highly recommend in-home euthanasia under the care of Dr. Parks. Without her assistance I don’t think we could have given our Otis the loving goodbye that he deserved. Thank you!
