Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
One reason I became a veterinarian was to serve the bond between people and their pets. Saying goodbye to a longtime friend is one of the most difficult passages we face. Being able to say goodbye peacefully at home, in a familiar environment, can eliminate some of the stresses of the process for both people and pets.

What pet parents are saying
When our “little-girl” of 13 years suffered a sudden stroke, my wife, daughter, and I knew that if we didn’t act quickly she was going to suffer. We found that Dan was available to help us, so we booked an in-home appointment immediately. When Dan arrived he was so polite, reverent, and respectful of us and our situation. Her awareness and strength were beginning to slip before he arrived, but he gently checked her to make sure that our suspicions were correct. Thankfully we were able to spend those last precious moments together holding her , crying our eyes out together, telling her how much we loved her, and how thankful we were for her love of us, how she rescued us, and that she will always be with us. We truly could not now look back on that experience as a positive one, had Dan Taylor not been there for us. From all of us, and “our little-girl” we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We miss her beyond words, but we due so knowing that she died peacefully, at home with us, cuddled-up in her “blanky”with all her stuffed-animal friends, and that beautiful smile on her face.
Dr. Dan Taylor was an absolute pleasure to work with. He made the entire experience much easier for my family during a very difficult time. He was in constant contact throughout the week as I hemmed and hawed my decision. When it came time for our appointment, he spent a good amount of time explaining everything to my family and allowed time for questions. He assured us that we had made the right decision, which I know helped me in that moment. While this was an overall overwhelmingly difficult situation, he made it as seamless and stress free as possible. If I ever had to put another pet down, he would be my first call. Thank you Dr. Taylor, the Howell family appreciates you and your kindness!
Dan Taylor, the vet we found through CodaPet, could not have been better to guide us through the loss of our deeply-loved dog, Amelia. He was so kind, thoughtful, and knowledgeable that it made the process as natural as it could possibly be. My partner’s son shared that he felt like Dr. Taylor was so spiritual it felt like he was a “priest”. Thank you, Dr. Taylor, for providing us with the guidance and space to say goodbye to Amelia. The memory will be one we cherish and revisit along with all the joyful ones we have of our best friend.
Dr. Dan Taylor was so incredibly kind, thoughtful, informative and professional when he came to the house when it was time to say goodbye to my beloved cat Chloe. Having this ability to say goodbye in an environment that everyone was comfortable in without the trauma of having to be uprooted to go to an office where the lights are too bright and nothing seems peaceful was invaluable.
Though nothing can take away the pain of this experience, I can say that it couldn’t have been more gentle. Thank you, Dan, for your kind assistance.
Dr. Taylor was considerate, kind, and understanding. He explained the procedure well and performed it smoothly. He spent time with us. Dr. Taylor was the perfect person for this procedure.
