Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
In general practice, I always gravitated toward end of life care for pets and their families as she felt it was important to provide a peaceful experience for pets and their parents. I believe that in-home euthanasia creates a calm and comforting environment for pets and their families as they say goodbye to their life-long companions.

What pet parents are saying
We cannot thank Dr. Harper enough for the kindness, compassion, and comfort she provided during one of the most difficult moments of our lives. God truly sent us an angel in her. Saying goodbye to our beloved Aspen was heartbreaking, but Dr. Harper made the experience as peaceful and gentle as possible. Her explanation of every step was clear and reassuring, helping us understand what to expect while allowing us the space to process our emotions. The care and tenderness she showed toward Aspen—and toward us—was beyond what we could have hoped for. She treated Aspen with such dignity and love, making sure her final moments were filled with peace and comfort. We are forever grateful for Dr. Harper’s empathy and professionalism. In such a painful time, she was a source of warmth and guidance, and we truly cannot recommend her enough to anyone facing this incredibly difficult decision.
Making the decision to put my best buddy Ace down was one of the hardest decisions I've had to make. Dr Amanda Harper made the experience so special and dignified. She was so kind and gentle. She handled Ace with ease and such care as if he was her family. What touched me most was when she prayed over him. I have told all my family and friends about my experience. I would recommend Dr Harper and CODA to anyone in the situation of having to emphasize a family pet.
My 14 year old car, Spirit, had heart failure and she was always fearful of strangers. I knew that if I put her in a crate, to the car and started to drive, she would go into heart failure and die on the way and I could not stand that being her last memory. Dr. Harper came to my house and from the time I met her in the front yard, she was so kind and had a peaceful and kind presence. She made such a sad experience more peaceful for myself as well as Spirit. I got to hold Spirit in my arms until her last breath. I want to thank Dr. Harper for her kindness and loving approach to helping the animals as well as the humans in the way she showed her love of other beings on this planet.
The loss of Dallas was more than the passing of a beloved pet. He was my best friend, fierce protector and loyal companion. We had been through a lot together - break up of a long-term relationship, moving from Florida to Tennessee, the loss of employment, new employment and our health issues. Dallas was only 7, but he had terminal cancer. He was courageously fighting the disease, but his body was becoming weak. Dr. Harper was incredible - I don't think she even knows how amazing she is! She helped us get through the worst day in my life. She considered Dallas' needs and devised a plan, so we would not have to muzzle him (as we did at the vet). She wanted to give him a peaceful passing. She did not treat Dallas like a dog, but a beloved family member. I am so thankful that she was the one who came to our home. She was amazing and I will forever be grateful to her! She used such care in the way she wrapped Dallas up in a blanket and let us send him off with his favorite lamb toy, even though it was equal to the size of him (Dallas was a sixty-pound, blue American bully). She let us have as much time as we needed to say goodbye to him and handled him (& me) with the upmost care and compassion. She even called us the night before to see how Dallas was doing and gave me a few ideas to help him through the night. I will forever be grateful to Dr. Harper & CODA Pet for their caring treatment of my best friend at such an awful time. Their care and compassion will not be forgotten. Thank you, Dr. Harper for being such an amazing person and making it possible for us to send Dallas peacefully off with love. You are an incredibly special person.
Dr. Harper is a gift! She has the sweetest soul and I could not have imagined another person helping our little Buddy find a soft landing. Buddy loved his cotton blankets, he used the puffs to shield his eyes from sunlight as he napped in his senior years. She was Buddy's blanket as he crossed over, she shielded him from suffering. We gave her that blanket to take with her, we will never forget her! -May god keep watch over the angels among us. Love the Morrison's
This past month has been extremely hard on our entire household but I am very grateful for Dr. Harper for making it as comfortable as possible for our baby. She is ridiculously sweet and caring and even shows love towards others pets to make them comfortable too. This is the first time I have ever gone through losing a pet and it was very hard for me and my husband and she even comforted us while also comforting our dogs before starting. It never seemed rushed or super uncomfortable which is how I imagine a vet would be. I hate that I met Dr. Harper under these circumstances but also very happy that she was there and helped all of us say goodbye to our best friend.
