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. Carolyn Benedetto made one of the hardest days feel peaceful and deeply personal. She took the time to understand Annie and created such a calm, cozy environment for our 14-year-old Cavalier’s final goodbye. She thoughtfully explained every step, was incredibly kind with my children. It was a far more compassionate experience than any clinical setting we’ve experienced before.

Dr.Karen came to our home and met with our old boy she listened to our concerns our stories our memories and saw not just another patient but our baby we grew,learned and loved with for 13yrs. He was in emence pain and cancer over took his quality of life she helped us guild him through his final moments and displayed wonderful bed side manner and showed tactfullness as we navigated this difficult situation. In the end it was the best choice, her assistance and perfessionalism was a huge part in helping us as we navigate through the greif.

Kind, caring, brought treats for my dog and comforted him through the whole process. Couldn’t ask for a better vet to come and help ease our dogs pain and our minds. Thank you 🙏

There truly are not enough words to express how kind, compassionate, thoughtful, and comforting Dr. Karen Duncan was during one of the hardest moments our family has ever faced. From the moment she arrived, she made us feel completely safe, at ease, and supported through the entire process. Every single detail — even the smallest touches you wouldn’t think of — was handled with such gentleness, dignity, and care. She treated our Finley-man with so much respect and love, and she treated us with the same compassion. Being able to say goodbye at home, where our pet was most comfortable and peaceful, made an unimaginable situation feel as comforting as it possibly could be. If you are considering in-home euthanasia for your own beloved pet, I truly cannot recommend Dr. Duncan enough. While this is a heartbreaking experience no one ever wants to go through, she made it the absolute best experience that this situation could possibly be. And honestly — while I sincerely hope I never need her services at my house again (for obvious reasons!), if and when that time ever comes, there is no question that it will absolutely be her. We will never forget her kindness.

This was the most perfect way to ease the passing of our old dog, Drake. It was time. We were in the sun in his favorite spot, eating his favorite things, being petted and remembered for the great things he did. Then he just fell asleep. The kindness of Dr Meadows and his Tech are very appreciated. I have been recommending them to others I know who aren't quite ready yet but the time will come.

Review by Dr. Brandon Meadows

After several days filled with questions, tears and "Hey, maybe what if...", I searched online for options to support end of life care for our beloved cat, Graham. He had a wonderful life with us (and we with him); we wanted him.to have a peaceful death, at home, with us. We were fortunate to find CodaPet and were able schedule an appointment for the next day. Dr. Margaret Valentino arrived on time, offering kindness, sensitivity and tremendous patience. She took her time with us and with Graham, assessing him/engaging with him. She was so skilled, so gentle and prepared us for the process. So on a beautiful Sunday morning, while the birds were singing and the sun warmed the breeze, we held our boy while he transitioned over the rainbow bridge on our back porch (his favorite spot). Dr. Valentino made a foot print for us before she wrapped him in a lovely blanket and placed him in a basket. We will never forget this day or Dr. Meg who was a blessing and a gift to us. With gratitude and love, Brian and Elizabeth
