At Home Pet Euthanasia In Missoula, MT

Our beloved dog, Oatmeal, had health problems from the time he was a puppy. We spent years going in and out of veterinary clinics trying to help him through immune issues, allergies, skin problems, digestive complications, even losing an eye at doggie daycare and more. In the last few years of his life, his health became even more complicated and everyday life became harder for him. We were at appointments constantly for bloodwork, medication adjustments, prescription food changes, surgeries, exploratory procedures and lots of specialist visits. It often felt less like we were finding answers and more like we were ruling things out or uncovering yet another condition to manage. It was emotionally exhausting and despite everyone’s best efforts, our sweet 13 year old best friend wasn’t truly getting better. Through it all, Oatmeal remained incredibly gentle and trusting. Even after years of appointments, pokes, tests and procedures, he stayed such a good sport. But eventually he developed an uncontrollable shake whenever he walked into a clinic because he was so fearful of what might happen there. Watching that heartbreak, while also seeing his gradual decline, made us realize we needed to make one final loving decision for him. Choosing euthanasia was one of the hardest things we have ever done but we knew we wanted it done on Oatmeal’s terms: - not in a clinic - not after an emergency or painful decline - while he could still enjoy life - with time to give him a beautiful final week doing everything he loved - and with one perfect last day surrounded by his family We were able to do all of that through CodaPet and Dr. Lori Schmalz. Booking online made the process easier because I honestly do not think I could have made it through a phone call without crying. The website explained the process thoroughly and when Dr. Schmalz arrived, she gently walked us through everything again and answered every question with compassion and patience. As heartbreaking as the moment was, it was also incredibly peaceful. There was no fear in Oatmeal’s eye and not an ounce of pain. In the end, he passed exactly how he always loved to spend his afternoons, asleep in the warm sun beside his kitty brother. He was in his favorite spot at home, surrounded by the people who loved him for 13 wonderful years. The experience felt completely different from any pet euthanasia we had gone through before. It was calm, loving and deeply humane. We miss Oatmeal more than words can express but there is also peace in knowing we did not wait until he was suffering through a crisis or rushed into an emergency clinic terrified and hurting. Instead, we were able to give him a beautiful final day filled with comfort, love, bacon, sunshine, his favorite toys and the two people he adored most. When he left this world, he felt safe, cherished and completely loved and we will always be grateful for that.

Dr. Causey walked through the door and put both our hearts at ease. Kind-hearted, nurturing, skilled, and conscious in providing the most peaceful goodbye to my girl. Thank you for every moment of peace and comfort you gave us. I could not have asked for a more beautiful goodbye. And to do so in the comforts of your own home is an absolute gift. The engraved box with ashes, paw print and clipped fur are blessings to add to this experience. Thank you for peace you gave that day and for the peace you continue to give in memory.

When it was time to put our beloved cat down, we reached out to Dr Anschultz, and we're so very glad we did. The doctor provided a cat bed that was held by my husband and we all got an opportunity to share about what a special girl our cat was and how much she meant to us. When it was done, Dr Anschultz took our cat's paw print in plaster so we had a memento to remember her by. Dr Anschultz helped turn a devastating time into something beautiful and meaningful. I so highly recommend Dr Anschultz to anyone who loves their pet but has to let them go.

Dr. Schott is the best vet for in home euthanasia. We are so glad we chose her instead of an in clinic vet. She was very kind and empathetic. She took her time releasing our Butters, giving us time to grieve through each stage and him time to drift off peacefully. We really appreciate her support.

I had to lay my 18 year old Chihuahua to rest and I couldn’t have imagined it going any better than it did with the at home euthanasia. Hardest thing I’ve ever had to go through but Dr. Sarah was so empathetic, gentle and kind when it came to the process. My girl was in amazing hands and I’m at peace that my baby transitioned so peacefully in the backyard of our childhood home. Would highly recommend

Today was incredibly hard because of losing our dear Gus. The one great thing was CodaPet and Dr. Ann Gonnering who was amazing, patient and just great. She made it a lot easier for all of us including our 6yo son.

From the very second Dr. Norman walked into the apartment, we were put at ease during the very difficult and devastating situation we were going through. The decision to have an at home crossing of the rainbow for our dog was such a hard experience to begin with, and Dr. Norman made the whole experience glide as peacefully and lovingly and humanely as we could have ever wished. She was extremely informative and professional, and at the same time seamlessly made us smile and talk about the good days and wonderful memories as she walked us through the experience in the best way possible. We highly recommend Dr. Norman if you are faced with the sad circumstance of your pup needing to pass away. She will make it be as smooth a process as you could ever wish in that moment. Thank you Dr. Norman so much for your expertise and kindness and just amazing professionalism and empathy.

Having to say Goodbye to your furbaby especially when you have to decide it's time for them its never easy feat. We had been through this in the last year or two with 2 others. We first learned of In-home Euthanasia for pets from a neighbor who had her Dog put down & went on & on how great it was, it was loving & it was incredibly compassionate & gentle throughout the entire in-home euthanasia process. Our neighbor said she would never visit an office & only have it done in the convenience of her home where the fur baby knows & feels loved. Dr Marisel San Miguel with Codapet was our point of contact ( Codapet works with License Veternarians across the country for this service). We had scheduled a time but we knew time was of the essence & switched the appointment to earlier. Dr Marisel showed up 5 minutes early explained the process which wevbeen through before. Dr Marisel gave us time to love, grieve & cry with our Koby & didn't feel rushed in the comfort of our home that our koby knows. Dr. Marisel made a heartbreaking moment feel peaceful & full of love, treating our Koby with such dignity & kindness. Her calm presence, patience, & genuine care meant more to our family than we can express. Choosing in-home euthanasia for our dog Koby was one of the hardest decisions we’ve ever made, but it also gave us the chance to say goodbye in a peaceful, familiar place surrounded by love which we have done before. Being able to hold him, talk to him, & let him go without fear or stress brought comfort during an incredibly painful moment. Even though the grief was overwhelming, we’re grateful his final moments were calm & filled with love.” Thank you Dr Marisel San Miguel with Codapet.

It takes a very special person to do this and that's what Dr DuBose is. She was patient, kind and empathatic - gave us time to change our minds and think through the decision to the last moment. I wanted to pray over Duncan, but couldn't find the words so I prayed the Hail Mary, but didn't feel right. So Dr DuBose stepped in and said a thoughtful and sweet prayer - I was so thankful. This is a very tough and trying time, so if there's anyone you'll want by your side during this, Dr DuBose is the best person for it.

I don’t think I could’ve gotten through this appointment without the kindness, patience, and knowledge of Dr. Renee Schott. It’s been months, and her guidance through in-home euthanasia still touches me to this day. I’ve had Scrum for a very long time, and he is my first heartbreak of pet loss. He’s also a difficult, grumpy old man, and when it was time, I knew in-home was the only way. Codapet kept me very informed and I appreciated being able to pay ahead of time, and even see my urn/keepsakes options. At the appointment, all my choices were reconfirmed and I added on another ink print. For the actual process, Dr Renee took something dreaded and fearful… and now I look back with only understanding. Grief, yes, but also being able to help my old friend. To do the right thing for him. He was in so much pain, and holding him in his usual blanket at home was priceless. Dr Renee’s kindness shaped how I remember this day. While he was grumpy, she noted how he relaxed in my arms and how he trusted me so much. Even now, that’s the most comforting thing of all, knowing I did right by him in every way. Thank you to Codapet for being an easy to use service and endless thanks to Dr Renee Schott. Your approach profoundly altered this terrifying moment into something peaceful.

Dr.Allison was the best, she spent a long time listening to our stories about our pet. Was the caring and compassionate person we needed at that time. If I could give 10 stars, she would receive them! No one likes this stage of pet ownership, but Dr. Allison makes sure the ending is as peaceful as painless as it possibly can be ❤️

I am so very grateful to Dr. Vosburg for her kindness, sincerity and compassion that she showed to me during the most difficult time of my cat’s life. She explained the entire process and answered all of my questions. I simply cannot say enough about how awesome and amazing she. I highly recommend her. If I could give her a 10, I would, but I can’t, so I am giving her a 5 star rating!

Dr. Keri Wasmoen is the kindest, most compassionate vet. I truly think she was made for this job of helping pets cross over the rainbow bridge. She made the process so much easier with her kindness. She explained everything she was going to be doing and asking me if I was okay during every step of the process. Even after he passed she was so gentle with him. She helped me to make nose and pawprints. She helped to make the worst day a little easier. I could not be more thankful for her.

I am so thankful we chose Dr. Katie Todd for in-home pet euthanasia in Louisville, KY. She made one of the hardest days of our lives feel as peaceful and comforting as possible for both us and our sweet boy Romeo. She was incredibly warm, understanding, patient, and compassionate throughout the entire process. She answered every question we had, never made us feel rushed, and truly made sure he was comfortable and stress-free the whole time. I can’t thank her enough for the kindness and care she showed our family during such a heartbreaking moment. We will always be grateful for the love and dignity she gave him in his final moments.

This was the first time we used a service that came to our home to euthanize a pet. Dr. Keri with CodaPet was calming and compassionate. She reviewed the process, let us know what to expect and kept us informed during each step. It's never easy to say good bye to a pet. CodaPet understands that and provided us the opportunity to have a peaceful good bye.

We are so grateful for Dr. Silberman and his gentle and kind touch. It was a very hard decision to say goodbye to my very loved 17 yr old cat. She was always nervous going in the car to the vet and I decided I didn't want her last hour to be that. I'm so happy I made the decision for her end of life to be in the comfort of her own home and in her own bed.
