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
Dr. Pruett was excellent. It was our first at home euthanasia and she really made us feel better about making this decision. She was prompt, very understanding, and explained the process to us. It was incredibly hard losing our dog but ultimately this was the perfect way for us to do it. Thank you so much.
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 so compassionate, so patient and so gentle with our Sweet Pea. We are so grateful she came to our home and handled this for us. It was totally worth it to go this route. CodaPet was so easy to work with, very compassionate as well. I called, made the appointment and waited for the appointment day which was not long at all. We basically got the date we asked for. I would most definitely recommend CodaPet to those who dearly love their pets. I cannot say enough about the ease and comfort received from both.
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.
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.
In such an emotional and difficult time, Dr Pruett was perfect in her demeanor, giving us information about the process, making my wife and I and Siobhan comfortable for the process, and quietly performing the process, and helping Siobhan to a calm, quiet transition. After Siobhan’s passing, Dr Pruett's help was greatly comforting and the "paw prints" memorial was a blessed keepsake.
