Very responsive to a same day appointment and even came earlier when notified that Beau had taken a turn for the worse. Once she arrived at the house, she was very calm, which helped us relax. She also was not in a rush to get it done … she waited for us to tell her we were ready—which is a different experience than my parents have encountered with in-home euthanasias—and much appreciated. Her compassion extended past “the appointment”. She made contact with us the following day to see how my daughter was doing. When I was a bit apprehensive about sending Beau’s ashes to our regular vet, she agreed to have him returned to her residence, so that we could pick him up there and ensure positive control. All-in-all, and with respect to the circumstances, it was a very positive experience and the best that you could expect that situation to be—Dr Laura made what was otherwise probably the worst day of my life, just a little bit better. If I’m ever able to take the plunge into fur-parenting again, I would not hesitate to use Dr Laura and Codapets services again when the time came.

Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in Destin, 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.

Compassionate, Caring, Calm, and Loving. That's my experience with Dr. Kellie Ayle. I've had many pets but Gracie was not only special but she has a littermate and I was so worried about her with the loss of her sister. Dr. Kellie took her time, she gave us time to say Goodbye to our beautiful girl. She was thoughtful and did not mind as I cried the entire time. She let us know that Lily would be okay and to make sure she was eating. I can't even begin to think about the next step with Lily when the time comes, but I know I'll look to Dr. Kellie to help me with Lily also. God Bless Dr. Kellie, she makes the hardest time of your life, easier with her presence.

It was very comforting that we were able to keep our pet in a place that he felt most comfortable and happy when we said goodbye. Dr. Bean was great to work with.

Although the circumstance was very difficult, Dr. Kellie was kind, professional, and compassionate. We could not have asked for a more peaceful or detail-oriented experience. Thank you, Dr. Kellie, for being there for us and our beloved Scout on this very hard day.

Our experience with Dr. Valentino was excellent. Her peaceful, calm personality put us all at ease. She sat on the floor with Liliy and explained every step of what she was doing and how Lily was feeling. Thank you .

Dr. Lara Allison was amazing during the process. She was incredibly respectful and thoughtful. We could not have asked for someone better during this difficult experience and being able to do it in our own home was extremely comforting. We are very thankful.
