Chico was euthanized at our home by Dr. Meadows and his assistant. They let us set the pace and spent time comforting us as they helped our sweet rescue pup (who was a little skittish around people) pass peacefully and quickly. It has been heart-wrenching to lose a dog at only four years of age due to cancer. Dr. Meadows and his assistant guided all of us through this difficult time with compassion and kindness, and even sent a personalized sympathy card afterwards to honor Chico. It’s never an easy decision, but if it’s one you need to make, this is the gentlest way to go, and I would highly recommend Dr Meadows for in-home pet euthanasia.
5.0Aug 11 2025 by Cate Bronson OMG. It seems impossible but Dr. Brandon made letting Jellybean go a little bit easier. Brandon and Ashley’s compassion ( and listening to stories about Jellybean made the final step less heartbreaking. Jellybean’s ashes were delivered to our home one week later by a very caring delivery person. Thanks to all of you. 😥
Dr. Meadows was incredibly caring, thoughtful, and compassionate. He helped make an unbearably difficult moment feel calmer and less stressful. His kindness and professionalism were evident in every step of the process. I highly recommend him—he truly went above and beyond for Benji and for us.
5.0Feb 03 2026 by Lisa S. Dr. Meadows was fantastic. He showed so much compassion during a very difficult time. I recently moved to Ocala and was so happy to find Dr. Meadows as I always euthanize my animals at home if deemed necessary. I want them to feel at peace in their own surroundings. My boy Dusty was so peaceful and only felt love and no fear.
I will always use Dr. Meadows if deemed necessary for my other furry kids.
5.0Oct 15 2025 by Kelly G. Dr. Brandon Meadows was so compassionate, professional, and thorough with handling any questions and concerns. Thank you for the sympathy card as well! I’m so glad I chose CodaPet.
5.0Jan 10 2026 by Ellie A. Making the decision to euthanize our dog at home was very difficult, but we’re incredibly grateful for the experience. Scheduling was easy (online), and Dr. Meadows was compassionate and informative throughout. Being in the comfort of home, with familiar surroundings and privacy as a family, made a hard moment more peaceful for everyone—including our dog.
5.0Aug 01 2025 by Sarah Gray We recently had to say goodbye to our beloved 16 year-old Havanese. He was terrified of going to the Vet so we decided on in home pet euthanasia. Dr. Meadows and Ashley were so kind and professional. They gave Reiko treats to help ease any anxiety. Dr. Meadows gently administered a fast acting calming medicine. Reiko was able to "Cross the Rainbow Bridge" peacefully in my arms. Ashley brought in a lovely basket to take Reiko with them. It was a very sad experience, but made so much easier by the professional and kind Dr. Meadows and Ashley. Highly recommend them for in home pet euthanasia!
5.0Sep 06 2025 by Shelia Strychowskyj 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.
5.0Jul 25 2025 by Millie W. Doing this at home spared my little darling the stress of going to the vet office. Dr Meadows was wonderful and understood our difficulty in making the decision.
5.0Jun 25 2025 by dawn case This process was made so much easier by Dr Meadows’ team. I’m so glad Burnsie was able to pass at home with familiar surroundings. We never felt rushed, just supported and cared for. I recommend Brandon Meadows wholeheartedly.
5.0May 01 2026 by Bronwyn M. Dr. Brandon Meadows and his associate were so kind, respectful and sensitive to not only my emotions but to Buckwheat's. In his final moments he was able to lie in his own living room being comforted by his mom and gently go to sleep. I could not have asked for a more peaceful journey into his next adventure. He has suffered all his life, now he can finally rest. Thank you, Robbie Kellum
5.0Apr 15 2026 by Robbie K. Dr. Meadows, I wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude for your caring and respectful demeanor during this difficult process of letting our precious dog Bosley go. Your thoughtfulness made a significant difference to us.
Thank you 🙏🏻

5.0Dec 10 2025 by Kathy G. Dr. Meadows is a very compassionate person. I have had to have him euthanize two of my dogs within 8 months of each other. My second dog was a very nervous dog around people other than family. He came the day before to give me a sedative so that she would not be as fearful when he came the next day. I euthanize at home so that it won't be a stressful experience for my babies.
Thanks to Dr. Meadows , he made a very difficut time as peaceful as possible. Dr. Meadows is fantastic.
5.0May 21 2026 by Kelly G. 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.
5.0Nov 19 2025 by Beverly H. t’s taken me a while to write this review because of how traumatic this experience was for everyone in my household. I elected to use Coda Pet for my dogs end of life services and I will regret that decision for the rest of my life. This is the uber eats of your dogs end of life services. Do better than me, and really research who you’re going with. A couple good reviews aren’t going to cut it in this situation. Dr Meadows was who our assigned doctor was, and he maybe said 5 words during the entire exchange. He comes in, doesn’t make my dogs feel comfortable at all. Or me for that matter! No communication at all. For example I have one dog who barks at people when they walk in, this was known. She never barks for this long at someone, but she just didn’t like his energy, and never relaxed, and I’ll say she wasn’t wrong for that. The entire process felt rushed. My dog who was being put down, was excited to see him, but no love was exchanged. Just “okay sit down, I have to put this needle in” literally. That’s pretty much what he said. My dog didn’t react well to the sedative. This is when the trauma really started. She yelped in pain, her heart immediately racing. She started running around the kitchen, losing her ability to walk. She was scared, heart racing, and it was truly my worst nightmare. The “Dr” sat on his butt on the floor for the ENTIRETY of this happening. Like isn’t this his actual practice?! Why am I the only one trying to console my poor, terrified dog alone? I was the one who had to pick her up and lay her on the bed and literally beg for euthanasia because of how scared she was. And her heart was racing so so badly. Eventually he got off his ass to administer it, and I said goodbye to her in such a horrible way. When it was time for her to be taken out, he got an assistant, who said she was so sorry, but the Dr himself said not one word. Nothing. I was promised compassion from this company, I did not receive it. I was promised dignity for my pet. She did not receive it. I feel robbed. Of a peaceful passing for my baby girl. I feel overcharged for such a disgusting experience. The only people who showed kindness here was the cremation company that they passed her on to. Coda pet would receive negative stars from me if they could. I called a couple days later to express my disgust, and never heard back. But I guess that’s to be expected from the uber eats of pet euthanasia services. No like literally, my dog was taken out in a jeep. Not a “coda pet” official van or anything. Not even dignity there. Needless to say, this is one of the most traumatic things that has ever happened to me and my best friend. I have to find ways to reduce the guilt I have from choosing this company, and I don’t know if I ever can. Book elsewhere, this place should not get any of your money. And do not let them anywhere near your babies.
1.0Aug 21 2025 by Kayla P Dr. Meadows was so wonderful to us on such a hard day. He was kind and compassionate and took such gentle care of our sweet boy. We are so grateful for him
5.0Mar 17 2026 by Jacqui C. I can only say our Beagle was our fur baby like no other. Dr Meadows was so kind when coming to our home and helping us say goodbye to Georgee and cross the rainbow bridge.
5.0May 12 2026 by Joel Y. To have my sweet Bubba put to sleep was one of the hardest decisions i have ever made. I called Dr.Meadows and was able to make an appointment for him to come to my home. He was so kind and took the time to get to know my dog , he talked to him while petting him and assessing him at the same time.
He was very accommodating , calm and reassuring. Nothing could have made this less painful but his kind and gentle ways made it a little easier. Thank you Dr Meadows and your sweet assistant (I'm sorry I don't remember her name)
5.0Sep 09 2025 by Kathy B. So, it has taken me some time to get around to this, but I think Brandon deserves it. This was the absolute worst experience of my life, saying goodbye to my best friend. But throughout the entirety of it Brandon was courteous, concerned, and overall caring. He made it somewhat tolerable for me, which says a lot. He gave me every minute I needed, and came at a time later than usual at my request. I know it's hard for anyone going through it, but I hope they can have someone like Brandon available to provide it. I am grateful for his service, and have absolutely no complaints. Just know that the passing of your pet can be handled with respect and grace if Brandon has anything to do with it.
5.0Aug 11 2025 by kyle b. Dr. Meadows was amazing with us and our pet in our time of need. I could see that my cat needed assistance right away, and he showed up for us and more. He was very clear, but empathetic, about what would happen and when when the time came, and he and his team did an incredible job seeing through that her remains were handled respectfully and with care. You can tell Dr. Meadows really understands and cares for animals and the people who love them. I cannot express how thankful I am that he showed up for us when he did and helped my cat pass on. Thank you so much 🙏
5.0Jan 31 2026 by Keri H. Dr. Brandon Meadows in the Ocala area is who came to my home And helped my pet of 15 years pass away. It was really An amazing experience for us and my pet because there was no pain or struggle. Dr. Meadows really did a great job and I wouldn’t do it any other way!

5.0Jun 26 2025 by Peggy Watts 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.
5.0Jul 24 2025 by Bethy Z. Thankful for Dr. Meadows and his assistant for their kind, gentle and professional care of our Lab. His suffering ended very peacefully at home. I would recommend him for in home pet euthanasia.
5.0May 18 2026 by Carol H. 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.
5.0May 06 2026 by Alyssa G. Dr brandon meadows and his assistance were amazing. Their kindness,compassion and dedication allow us to give Yugi eternal rest. Being older and disabled we were with yugi as she slipped away over rainbow bridge. Thank you from bottom of our hearts! We are greatful.
Sincerely .

5.0May 07 2026 by Marcelle M. Dr Meadows and his partner were incredibly kind, sensitive, and compassionate towards us and our dog Cali. As difficult and heartbreaking as it was to say goodbye, they made the process as bearable as possible. They were very patient and gentle, giving us all the time we needed in our last moments with her without feeling rushed. It gives us peace of mind knowing she was able to be comfortable at home with us in her final moments. You can tell this team truly cares about animals, and we will be forever grateful for the care they showed to us and Cali.
Dr. Meadows is a very compassionate and caring vet. Fortunately, he was able to guide me through the most difficult day. I would recommend him for any services you may need for your fur baby. Two weeks have passed since I lost my beloved Sammie, who was 20 years old. Dr. Meadows reassured me during every step of the difficult process. Please know he is a very kind and comforting person.
5.0Dec 22 2025 by Michelle A. Dr. Brandon Meadows arrived exactly on time, was thoughtful and patient, and was comforting during a tough time. Would highly recommend.
