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.

Saying goodbye to our beautiful Sophie was the hardest thing ever. Dr Kirsten was absolutely wonderful with my husband and I and was so loving with Sophie. She was with us and Sophie at our most raw emotional state ever and ended our baby’s suffering in her most comfortable space, our home.

Dr. Meadows was fantastic. He showed so much compassion during a very difficult time. I recently moved to Ocala and was so happy to find Dr. Meadows as I always euthanize my animals at home if deemed necessary. I want them to feel at peace in their own surroundings. My boy Dusty was so peaceful and only felt love and no fear. I will always use Dr. Meadows if deemed necessary for my other furry kids.

Dr Alexandra Loughmiller Was an angel that came for my sweet Jax. She was so kind yet professional. She handle led Jax’s in home pet euthanasia so lovingly. Not just for us but for Jax. The normal anxiety he’d get from vet trips. I knew I never wanted his last feelings to be fear and anxiety. Putting him to sleep at home was by far the greatest gift to your beloved pet before their departure. Y’all are angels

Dr. Dennis provides a compassionate way for pets to pass peacefully at home. She was incredibly kind and patient, listening as I shared stories about our beloved old dog before gently and humanely helping her cross the Rainbow Bridge. I am deeply grateful for her professionalism and care, and I highly recommend her to anyone facing this difficult moment. Annie I

Dr. Meadows was amazing with us and our pet in our time of need. I could see that my cat needed assistance right away, and he showed up for us and more. He was very clear, but empathetic, about what would happen and when when the time came, and he and his team did an incredible job seeing through that her remains were handled respectfully and with care. You can tell Dr. Meadows really understands and cares for animals and the people who love them. I cannot express how thankful I am that he showed up for us when he did and helped my cat pass on. Thank you so much 🙏

I want to thank you again Sarah for providing such an amazing service during this difficult time. We all felt that you were sincere and provided a detailed explanation with the procedure. It was comforting for us to see Ruger comfortable and at ease through this process. We definitely will recommend your services to our family and friends. Although we miss Ruger dearly it was the best thing for him.
