Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
My enduring passion for veterinary medicine traces its roots back to my earliest memories of being surrounded by animals. From a young age, it was clear to me that I wanted to dedicate my life to caring for these incredible beings. My career aspirations have taken various forms over the years, from envisioning myself as an animal trainer for movies or captivating audiences at Sea World to picturing a future as a ranch owner tending to a diverse array of animals. However, beneath these varied dreams, the unchanging core has always been the desire to become a veterinarian. What propels my aspiration in the field of veterinary medicine even further is my desire to practice In-Home Euthanasia (IHE). This passion has been amplified by my firsthand experiences of the profound positive effects animals can have on human well-being, some experiences I've gained primarily through my involvement with Aggieland Pets with a Purpose (APWAP). These organizations have shown me the immense power of the human-animal bond, and they've underscored my dedication to preserving and enhancing this bond. I offer in-home euthanasia services as a compassionate way to honor the strong connections people share with their pets during one of life's most challenging transitions. This is a meaningful path that allows me to not only ensure the health of animals but also to support and educate owners about the sensitive and emotional aspects of saying goodbye to their beloved companions.

What pet parents are saying
I recently used CodaPet to put my sweet 17 year old dog to sleep. Dr. Alex Pruett was amazing during the whole process. She is a very kind and compassionate vet and I highly recommend their services.
Dr. Pruett was very personable and kind. She treated my dog, during his last minutes of life, with compassion and respect. She was informative about what was to be expected regarding euthanasia. I didn’t think my dog was going to survive the afternoon appointment made, thankfully she was able to schedule me first thing in the morning. Best wishes to her!
Getting to spend my baby’s last moments with her at home, on the bed, all cozy, is something I’ll treasure forever. Dr. Pruett was so kind and thoughtful, we are lucky to have this service in town.
Dr. Pruett was so gentle with us and Zoey. She has so much compassion. I did not want my Zoey to have to go through a 45 minute drive to our old vet as she has always been anxious in car rides. She passed away on her own terms comfortable at home with us. We miss her dearly but we are happy that she is finally out of pain. Dr. Pruett treated Zoey with respect, compassion and dignity. We will always be thankful for her help with our family.
I so appreciate Dr. Pruett’s calm and compassionate demeanor. She was very professional and caring, explaining clearly what we could expect and giving us time to say goodbye to our girl. Her caring attitude eased our pain in helping Tassie find her rest.
In such an emotional moment of our lives Dr. Pruett made it the smoothest transition she possibly could. Giving us time to grieve and take in our last moments with our baby boy all while making sure he was at ease. She was such a blessing in the most awful times. We highly recommend her.
