Dr. Meadows was absolutely wonderful. He was kind, compassionate, and attentive to my kitties needs. His comfort and care made the procedure a million times more tolerable. It was quick and painless for my precious baby and I’m forever grateful Dr. Meadows was our doctor. After I scheduled, he called and offered to come right away, even in rush hour traffic. He followed up with a beautiful sympathy card which was so special to us. I highly recommend Dr. Meadows. You won’t find anyone as compassionate and kind.

Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in Ocala, 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.

Dr.Dawn Fitzhugh was very kind to me and extremely gentle with my 16 year old cat. She took time to explain the process and Carl passed peacefully in my arms. I cannot say enough positive things about her service.

We were so thankful to learn about the option of in-home pet euthanasia. Gone are the days of the trauma of transporting our pets to a vet clinic for this service. Dr. Peterson was an absolute angel. From the moment she stepped into our home an incredible calm came over us. She immediately went to our cat Jinx and began petting and reassuring him. The whole process was so peaceful and unrushed. After Dr. Peterson left, that sense of calm continued. Don't hesitate to contact her if you need this service. You will be forever grateful, as are we.

Dr. Meadows and his assistant were very kind and compassionate. They entered the house just as quietly as they left. So kind hearted with their condolences as my world shattered. I can't thank them enough for coming to my home when I needed a vet the most. I highly recommend Dr. Meadows should you ever need his in-house service.

We are a family that has had 2 dogs and a cat for a decade. It was such a hard decision but the time had come for one of our dogs. Dr. Lewis was responsive, patient, genuine, and knew the love that was pouring out for our dog. She explained everything each step of the way. We needed service at the end of a holiday weekend on short notice. The option of in home pet euthanasia was the correct choice for our family. It was peaceful and gentle. We miss our best friend. Her memory lives on, but we and our dog both experienced the comfort of being in our own home when we said goodbye and privately mourned after. I highly recommend Dr. Lewis.

I highly recommend the service offered by Peaceful Passing / Coda Pet. Dr. Sarah Clem is gentle and kind, and truly helped make our very sad and difficult time of having our beloved of dog euthanized. She arrived on time, greeted our dog with patience and gentleness, and without rush asked for our consent before proceeding. I thank her from my heart for helping us so kindly.
