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. 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.

We are so grateful for Dr. Dover's compassion and professionalism on an awful, horribly sad day for us. I am so glad we called CodaPet. Our dog was suffering so much before she came to help him. Cancer of the gums is a terrible thing. Now he is at peace.

This process was made so much easier by Dr Meadows’ team. I’m so glad Burnsie was able to pass at home with familiar surroundings. We never felt rushed, just supported and cared for. I recommend Brandon Meadows wholeheartedly.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. McWreath and the compassionate care she provided as we said goodbye to our beloved dog, Remi. This was one of the hardest days our family has ever experienced, but from the moment she arrived, Dr. McWreath treated Remi with incredible kindness, dignity, and respect. She took her time, explained every step of the process, and never made us feel rushed. Her calm, gentle presence brought a sense of peace during such a heartbreaking moment. Being able to let Remi pass peacefully at home, surrounded by the people who loved him most, was an immeasurable gift. Dr. McWreath showed genuine empathy for both Remi and our family, and it was clear that caring for animals is more than her profession; it is her calling. Although no one ever wants to need this service, I am profoundly grateful that Dr. McWreath was the one to guide us through it. She helped make an unimaginable goodbye as peaceful and loving as possible. Thank you, Dr. McWreath, for treating our sweet boy with such compassion and for giving our family the precious gift of a dignified, peaceful farewell. We will never forget your kindness.

This is a much needed service at an extremely painful time . This is the second time I have used Coda Pets / Peaceful Passing and specifically Dr. Jenny Tovar . She is so calm and assuring, patient not rushing and very loving . Each time she’s helped us end our pets/family members suffering it was a very calm and peaceful passing. We are grateful for this service.
