In-Home Euthanasia - Santa Rosa, California
In-Home Pet Euthanasia in Santa Rosa, CA
Santa Rosa is the most expensive place we have priced for saying goodbye at home. Both options here are real local practices with a named veterinarian, and both publish what they charge: CodaPet's Sebastopol vet starts at $500, and Gone West Vet in Petaluma runs $600 to $1,000 depending on your pet's size, before travel and cremation. That transparency is worth something, but so is knowing the number before you call.

Our Recommended Providers in Santa Rosa
We reviewed the available options and selected these providers based on transparency, communication, and value.
CodaPet
Best for Santa Rosa families who want the lower starting price and can book online.
Typical range
from $500
starting price
Dr. Delia Gregory-Macdonald works out of Sebastopol, about 15 minutes west of Santa Rosa, and covers the city through CodaPet's booking system. The $500 starting fee covers the initial contact, an at-home assessment, sedation and the euthanasia medication, cremation is quoted at $175 to $550 by weight, and keepsakes start at $45. You can request an appointment online instead of waiting for a call back.
One thing to know: $500 is a starting price, not the total: weight, distance, timing and aftercare all move it, and the figure you are quoted on the phone can be well above it. CodaPet is a national booking network, so availability depends on one local veterinarian's calendar rather than a team.
Gone West Vet
Best for Sonoma and Marin families who want hospice and the goodbye from the same veterinarian, if the price works for you.
Typical range
$600 to $1,000
by pet size
This is an end-of-life practice and nothing else, so Dr. Musman can follow your pet through hospice and palliative care for months and then be the one who comes at the end. Everything is published, which is rare: euthanasia $600 to $1,000 by size, travel $45 per 10 miles beyond central Petaluma, communal cremation $200, private cremation $430, and a quality of life assessment at $500. Telehealth visits are available if you are still deciding.
One thing to know: This is the highest published in-home euthanasia price we have recorded anywhere in the country, and Santa Rosa sits about 15 miles from the Petaluma base, so travel is added on top. Nothing here is same-day: calls are returned within 24 hours and appointments are usually within 48.
Questions Worth Answering Before You Call
Add the whole thing up before you call, because both providers publish enough to let you. For Gone West Vet from a Santa Rosa address that is the euthanasia fee by size, plus travel at $45 per 10 miles from central Petaluma, plus $200 communal or $430 private cremation. For CodaPet it is $500 and up, plus $175 to $550 for cremation by weight.
Ask how soon someone can come. Neither service is an emergency line. Gone West Vet returns calls within 24 hours and aims to see you within 48, and CodaPet depends on one veterinarian's calendar. If your pet is suffering tonight, a 24-hour emergency hospital is the realistic route, and you can ask them about aftercare when you arrive.
Decide whether you want hospice first. Gone West Vet is an end-of-life practice: palliative care, pain management, telehealth and a $500 quality of life assessment, so the same veterinarian can follow your pet for months and then be there at the end. If the decision is already made, that structure is not something you need to pay for.
Confirm who will actually arrive. In Santa Rosa that is Dr. Musman from Petaluma or Dr. Delia Gregory-Macdonald from Sebastopol. Ask whether that named vet is the one coming, and what happens if they are unavailable on the day you need.
