Dr. Brittany exceeded all expectations I had in terms of emotional support and compassion. She let me take as many moments, big or small, as I needed before proceeding with any steps and never made me feel like I was asking for too much. I could not have asked for a better experience. I could not thank her enough. I will forever be grateful and appreciative of her service and empathy for me and my beloved Shmitty. It is an understatement to say, thank you Dr. Brittany.

Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in Gainesville, FL

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.

We set up an appointment for my fur baby, Lord Pepe. Unfortunately, his health declined rapidly and we required an appointment sooner than what we had scheduled. We were already in distress. Yet, each interaction with the CodaPet Care Team. They were empathetic, had active listening skills and were overall phenomenal. When it was time to interact with Dr. Chapman, she was stellar. We were not sure what to expect. Dr. Chapman explained the process, understood what our fur baby means to us. We were not rushed and Lord Pepe was treated like royalty. That meant the world to us. We are extremely grateful she was available to assist us. We need more people as benevolent as Dr. Chapman. We were able to say our goodbyes in peace. Dr. Chapman even went above and beyond to acknowledge Lady Pepper, our Tortoiseshell. She ensured Lady Pepper had her time to also say her goodbye. In an already stressful and anguish situation, don't look further and reach out to the CodaPet Care Team and Dr. Chapman. We highly recommend them to assist you during a demise situation.

We recently used in-home pet euthanasia through CodaPet and was very pleased with how Rebecca Houck handled our dog Ozzy. She was so kind and thoughtful in handling Ozzy. It was helpful having him here at home during this time.

Dr. Devlin made this extremely difficult experience as best as it could be. Losing our sweet Riley was so hard but Dr. Devlin was very empathetic and explained everything throughly. He was very kind, understanding, and supportive. We are very grateful that we were able to stay at home for this, where our boy was as comfortable as he could be. If you ever need at-home euthanasia for your pet, I highly recommend Dr. Devlin.

Letting go of your family pet is never easy. Dr. Lori made this experience very peaceful. She gave us the time and space needed to say goodbye properly. Would recommend 10/10.

It’s always a pet owners most difficult decision to have to help them cross over. We were just passing thru the area when we had to make ours. We are very thankful for Dr Jackson in helping Huckleberry be at peace and free from pain in his last moments. I’ve had a very traumatic experience in the past with taking a pet in to a vets office and him dying in the back room and the office not allowing me to be with him while he was waiting to be seen and I never wanted that to happen again. Huckleberry was able to be surrounded by family and the love he so deserved on his last day earth-side. Dr Jackson was very kind to give us a private moment with him before the final moment, and took care of the cremation and made sure his ashes was returned within a few days before we had to leave town. Thank you Dr Jackson for your help, you helped make a sad day a more meaningful one.
