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.

I just wanted to come here and share my in home pet euthanasia with Dr Sara. My soul dog was too sick to continue, and I didn't even know an at home experience was option. I couldn't have imagined a better way to say goodbye. Dr Sara came to our home, on hours notice, was so gentle and understanding as we were very upset. We were able to do this at home, in bed, my other dog was right next to her the entire time. Absolutely peaceful. Highly recommend going this route if your babies time has come

So, it has taken me some time to get around to this, but I think Brandon deserves it. This was the absolute worst experience of my life, saying goodbye to my best friend. But throughout the entirety of it Brandon was courteous, concerned, and overall caring. He made it somewhat tolerable for me, which says a lot. He gave me every minute I needed, and came at a time later than usual at my request. I know it's hard for anyone going through it, but I hope they can have someone like Brandon available to provide it. I am grateful for his service, and have absolutely no complaints. Just know that the passing of your pet can be handled with respect and grace if Brandon has anything to do with it.

Review by Dr. Brandon Meadows

Dr. Cory was an absolute blessing for us. When it became clear it was time to say goodbye, I was devastated and heartbroken. I have no regrets after making the decision to have Dr. Cory come to our home. She was kind, loving, so patient, and really made me and more importantly, my kitty feel safe. She even allowed me to give her a hug after it was all over. I’d recommend her time and time again and I’m just so grateful we had her come into our lives for this difficult moment in time. ❤️

I had to let my boy Boog go unexpectedly due to cancer at only 3 years old. I was nervous about doing an in home euthanasia due to price and worried that a vet that specializes in euthanasia may be detached or cold but I was very wrong. Dr. Josh was honestly so gentle and kind, it felt like having another family member in the room with me. He explained everything to us as it was happening and gave us as much time as we needed to say goodbye. I would recommend in home euthanasia if you can afford it and I would specifically recommend Dr. Josh Williams. The service that they use forever friends pet cremations was also very fast and we were able to get boogs ashes back in only 2 days. All together they made the worst thing imaginable to a pet parent as easy and as smooth as they could. Here’s some pictures of my boog :)

Having Dr. Doolittle come to our home for our at home pet euthanasia was such a peaceful experience. He was wonderful with Khaleesi and compassionate with our whole family. He was flexible with us wanting to have Khaleesi outside in her favorite place in our yard. She fell asleep peacefully in my daughter’s lap, surrounded by her whole human family. So much easier than having to go into a sterile room with distractions of a vet clinic or hospital. Highly recommend Dr. Doolittle, cannot say enough how highly I recommend him and this service.

Letting go of a loved pet of over 15 years is never easy but Lara was amazing! She came to our house and gave us overall care for pain as our lab Paley was aging and when Paley let us know, we called Lara. Lara came with treats and food and we loved on our sweet girl until the end. What a peaceful and gracious way to say goodbye. No stress about getting dog into the car-just peace and calm in our home. I dreaded this day but Lara was a gift of love and grace to all of us. When the time comes, call Lara!
