About Vet
Dr. Brandon Meadows was born and raised in Central Florida and understands just how important it is for pets to be surrounded by love and comfort—especially in their final moments. After completing his undergraduate studies at the University of Florida, he earned his Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine in St. Kitts and Nevis. Now based in the Ocala area near family and friends, Dr. Meadows is honored to bring compassionate end-of-life care to families in the comfort of their own homes. Having witnessed many goodbyes in a clinical setting, Dr. Meadows knows how difficult and emotional that experience can be. That’s why he’s committed to providing a peaceful and personal alternative—one that allows you to say goodbye to your beloved companion without the added stress of a trip to the clinic. He’ll take the time to listen to your needs and guide you through the process with empathy and care, making sure your pet’s passing is as gentle as the love you’ve shared. Outside of veterinary medicine, Dr. Meadows enjoys spending time with his loved ones, traveling, reading, and relaxing near the water. At home, he shares his life with Seely, a gentle 7-year-old Great Pyrenees, and three snakes—Kobe, a boa constrictor, and Bree and Kara, both ball pythons. He looks forward to helping your family navigate this tender time with dignity and compassion.

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. Schmillen was kind, caring, and compassionate when our oldest dog, Yuki, experienced a sudden decline over the weekend. After calling numerous emergency vets and clinics with no luck, she was the first to answer~ and more importantly, the first not to turn us away. She brought comfort not just to Yuki, but to our entire furmily. Her presence gave us space to be together, to grieve, and to give Yuki the peace and dignity he deserved in his final moments. I’m incredibly grateful to her for the gift of a gentle, not rushed, loving goodbye through in-home pet euthanasia.

Dr. Cassandra Lewis was so kind during the entire process. Even before the appointment we were able to text her to ask questions and get reassurance that we were making the right choice at the right time. I’m so grateful we were able to give our fur baby, Callie, the peaceful and calm last moments she deserved. It’s never easy, but being able to be home, holding her, snuggling in her favorite spot certainly helped. Our other dog was able to be there as well, which I think helped him understand. I’m so grateful for Dr. Cassandra and although I hope you don’t ever need her - if you do find yourself in this situation, I would highly recommend her and doing it in-home as opposed to in a vet’s office.

This service is a game changer. Dr. Lauren was so kind and compassionate. This process is NEVER easy but the calm and peace I felt being able to offer relief to my beloved, aging pet's suffering in this way alleviates so much of the questioning and guilt. There were still plenty of tears, but we felt comfortable with Dr. Lauren right away. She eased our pain over the loss as well. I will always be grateful and would not hesitate to recommend this to anyone. CodeaPet is truly a tender mercy.

I cannot recommend Dr. Treece enough, she was so kind and had a calming presence. Every step was explained thoroughly and taken at our own pace. It is an extremely difficult decision to put your dog to sleep, but Dr. Treece and her assistant made the hard time much easier and were very respectful of my pup all the way to the end.

I am so grateful for Dr. Elder and her willingness to help our pets comfortably cross the Rainbow Bridge. She was so kind and patient with us during the whole procedure. This was exactly what I wanted, and I am so happy we chose CodaPet with Dr. Elder. I would recommend this service 100 times over to anyone wanting their fur babies to pass at home.
