Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in Gainesville, 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. Anna Peterson preformed an in home euthanasia for our dog, Copper on January 6th 2025 at our home in Ashland, WI. Copper has always been an anxious pup when going to the vet. I feared that we would have to go to the vet for his euthanasia and his last feeling would be anxiety and fear. We were fortunate to find Dr. Peterson. She was patience and kind. We never felt rushed and she took such good care of our little man. I feel confident that he had a peaceful passing and a lot of it was thanks to Dr. Peterson. Our family is forever grateful.
When we had to make the difficult choice to put our fur-baby Matchbox down, we searched online and came across Dr. Megan Lowman's CodaPet Profile, and I am so thankful to have chosen her for our in-home pet euthanasia. She helped our beloved dog pass with care, respect, and dignity. She brought kindness, compassion, and understanding and was always mindful of our needs, all while ensuring the process went correctly. She talked us through every step, gave us necessary moments, and most importantly, made sure to treat and handle our dog with care. We cannot recommend Dr. Lowman more highly.
Dr. Erin couldn’t have been more kind, compassionate, caring and gentle with us and our pup. This has undoubtedly been one of the biggest losses and most traumatic choices I have ever had to make, however, Dr. Erin’s professionalism and grace made our experience one where we felt safe in our grief and knowing our boy wasn’t in pain as he passed. Eternally grateful. Thank you.
Dr. Crawford is far and away the kindest human being I have ever met. Before he even shook my hand he said “I’m sorry we have to meet this way.” He brought such a peaceful presence to what I knew was going to be one of the most difficult days I’ve had to go through. Our appointment was scheduled for an hour and it ended up taking almost two. Fortunately for my wife and I there were moments of levity during the appointment and John didn’t miss a beat adding to that levity. When everything was finished he placed a firm grip on my shoulder to let me know my sweet girl crossed the rainbow bridge and I could see in his face that he shared my pain. That level of compassion was unexpected but incredibly welcomed. Should anyone else find themselves having to make the same difficult choice I had to make I encourage you reach out to Dr. Crawford.
Using CodaPet was the absolute best experience. They got to us so quickly and it was such a peaceful experience. Highly recommend Dr White - we've got another sick dog and will definitely be using her and this service again. I can't say enough good things about it - you won't be disappointed.
I felt God sent Dr Crawford to us during this difficult time. He was such a patient, kind, professional with just a calm demeanor. I’ve never met anyone like him and have already recommended him to a friend who is waiting for the right time to say goodbye for her older dog. I hope I can use him in the future with my other two dogs. He’s the very best person for this job. I can’t say enough good about him!!"
