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.

This is the second time in six months that we have used CodaPet for in home euthanasia. This time it was our oldest dog Toby who became ill on 12/31/25. We determined on 1/8/26 early in the morning that things were not going to get better and it was time to let him cross to the bridge. I made the appointment online for 10am. I sent a message to Dr. Schmalz that Toby was in pain and if she could get to our house sooner than 10am, we would appreciate that a lot. She responded almost immediately to let me know she would be there around 9am. Dr. Schmalz spent time with us and our dog Toby explaining the process. She was gentle with us and very caring towards Toby and his care. She waited for us to be ready to move forward and she made sure that Toby was absolutely comfortable and not feeling any pain. Dr. Schmalz left us alone with Toby after he had passed to give us and our other two dogs time to spend with him. I really believed this helped our other two dogs. They came up and smelled Toby from about a foot away and then they were able to see us put him on the stretcher and carry him out to the Dr.'s car. I appreciate the service very much. I have had many dogs in my life and it is so much better to have them at home for this part of their journey, then to have them travel to a place they don't necessarily like, and not be relaxed because of the smells there and also with them being on a cold floor or table. I highly recommend using this service and when the time comes for our other dogs, we will give them the same high level of care by using CodaPet. Thank you for your help through this very difficult time for us. Cathy

It took me months to be able to post this without crying... but I am so grateful every day for the care and empathy Dr. Gordon offered to our sweet girl and she prepared for her crossing. She was so patient and understanding with us through our grief during the decision making processes. My Nico baby came back to us in a beautiful black walnut box, her name on the front, as well as a nose print for me to "boop" when I'm missing her too much... We are grateful that we were able to give her her last gift and mercy in the comfort of her home💜

Dr. Meadows was very kind and compassionate and did his best to put Masaï (my heart dog) at ease and provide us both with comfort. When it was time for him to take Masaï for his journey he gave me a few minutes with him and then was extremely respectful of both Masaï, me and my loss. I'm forever grateful for his kindness and compassion.

I am incredibly grateful for Dr. Melissa’s kindness and compassion during one of the hardest moments of our lives. From the moment she arrived, Dr. Melissa treated our dog with such love, gentleness, respect, and dignity. Her calm and caring presence brought a sense of peace to an otherwise devastating experience. It was clear how deeply she cares about animals and the people who love them. Thank you for helping our beloved dog pass comfortably, surrounded by love, and for treating our family with such understanding and grace. We will always be grateful.

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.
