About Vet
Dr. Lisa Tipton is honored to help families provide a peaceful, loving farewell to their cherished pets. Growing up in a small town in North Dakota, she knew from a young age that she wanted to work with animals. After earning both her undergraduate and DVM degrees from Iowa State University, she built her career across general practice, affordable spay and neuter programs, and mobile veterinary care. With over 20 years of experience and CAETA certification in end-of-life care, Dr. Tipton is committed to ensuring pets pass with dignity and peace in the comfort of home. Losing her 14-year-old French Bulldog, Sophie, peacefully at home shaped Dr. Tipton’s belief in the importance of at-home euthanasia. She understands that a familiar environment can ease anxiety for both pets and their families during difficult moments. Her goal is to offer the same compassionate care she gave Sophie, helping pets transition surrounded by the people who love them most, free from fear and stress. Outside of work, Dr. Tipton enjoys spending time with her husband, children, and their beloved animal companions. Her home is filled with life, including two Golden Retrievers, Molly and Max, a French Bulldog named Penny, a cat named Whiskers, a galah cockatoo, and three cockatiels. When she’s not caring for animals, Dr. Tipton enjoys reading, solving jigsaw puzzles, and creating meaningful moments with her family.

Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in Tampa Bay, 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. Lara Allison recently came to my home to help our 18 year old kitty cross the rainbow bridge. Having it done at home was the best decision we could have made for her. Dr Allison walked us through the entire process. She even loved on our other two kitties that came to see what was going on. She let us know we were making the right decision . The booking process was easy. I highly recommend her. The overall care she gave all of us was wonderful.

At home Euthanasia is a god send, my dog was comfortable in a place he felt safe. There was no stress, it was very peaceful. Dr. Karen was very respectful of our situation and our dog.

Choosing to have your pet euthanized is a difficult experience, but we knew it was time for our cat as he had been struggling with the effects of HCM for weeks. We chose in-home pet euthanasia because Scout always hated being taken to the vet and we didn't want to cause further stress in his final hours. Fortunately Dr. Lauren Frary was near where we live and I had read great reviews about her work. I just want to add that they were all warranted. Dr. Frary was kind and engaged both with us and Scout. The process was explained in detail and we had plenty of time to say our goodbyes. The procedure went smoothly and peacefully. We're so glad we chose Dr. Frary for this difficult choice--she made it a much more pleasant experience.

Dr Natalie Dennis was wonderful. She was caring and compassionate. It was very peaceful. They responded promptly to my inquiry and were upfront about the services provided and the cost. It made my furbabies passing a less traumatic experience. Would highly recommend.

During such a difficult time recognizing that our 12 year old lab had reached the end of his life, we were comforted to find an option for in home euthanasia. Dr. Lowman was incredible kind and compassionate. She explained the process and made sure we were ready and had time to say our goodbyes.

Dr. Dixon provided such empathetic and knowledgeable care on a very difficult day. She took care of everything and we never doubted Frankie was loved and cared for by her from the moment she entered our home to the moment she returned his ashes. Could not more highly recommend Dr. Dixon! We will utilize her services as long as we live in Central Oregon.
