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
Dr. Harper treated us, and more importantly, our baby with kindness and compassion. She took the time to ensure we were ready. This was a heartbreaking decision. I'm glad I chose Dr. Harper, she made the end of life experience for our baby a calm one.
I would recommend CodaPet, and Dr Amanda Harper to anyone needing end of life assistance with their dear pet. The experience was completely dignified amd peaceful. Dr Harper provided such gentle care to my boy. I was deeply touched. She made a difficult situation bearable.
Dr. Harper was very professional and made my in-home pet euthanasia experience as pleasant an experience as I could have imagined. I highly recommend Dr. Harper if you are facing this difficult decision.
Dr. Harper is wonderful. She made everything easier. Very compassionate and professional. My words fail to describe the exceptional service she provided. Thank you
I wish I could leave Dr. Harper 10 stars. Saying goodbye to my sweet boy was among the hardest things I've ever had to do. Dr. Harper was incredibly kind. She treated our senior dog with the highest amount of love, compassion, and respect. Every touch was gentle and full of genuine love. She took care of everything. Even when a storm made our power go off during her visit, she wasn't phased. Becket was returned to me in less than 24 hours. For anyone who has to do the unimaginable, Dr. Harper made it that much more bearable. I will be forever thankful for her.
As sad as the experience was, it was the most peaceful pet passing that my husband and I had both been through. Dr. Amanda was kind and compassionate and patient with us through every step of the process. So grateful to have had this option.
Dr Harper was so loving g and caring. Zara laid in my lap and we got to talk and love on her as she passed. I would highly recommend Dr Harper to anyone going through such a difficult time.
I am grateful for Dr. Amanda Harper's compassion and assistance during one of the most emotional moments of our lives. We had to say goodbye to our precious old doggy girl recently and even though it was incredibly hard we were so grateful for Dr Harper's sweet understanding approach as we said goodbye.
A Gentle Goodbye with Dr. Amanda Harper Saying goodbye to a beloved pet is one of the hardest things a family can face, and when our sweet cat Trixie reached the end of her journey, we were blessed to have Dr. Amanda Harper by our side. From the moment she walked into the room, Amanda brought a sense of calm, compassion, and grace that made an unbearable moment feel just a little more bearable. She treated Trixie not just as a patient, but as a cherished soul — speaking to her gently, stroking her fur, and making sure every step of the process was handled with dignity and love. Amanda answered our questions with patience, gave us space to grieve, and never rushed us. Her empathy was palpable, and her professionalism was matched only by her kindness. Trixie crossed the rainbow bridge peacefully, surrounded by love, and with Amanda’s gentle guidance, we felt supported every step of the way. We will forever be grateful for the care she gave — not just to Trixie, but to us as well. If you’re ever in need of a veterinarian who truly understands the depth of the human-animal bond, Dr. Amanda Harper is that rare and extraordinary soul.
"Dr. Harper has one of the kindest souls of anyone I’ve met. She helped carry my family through this experience, all while being informative and so respectful of our sweet pup. I could never repay her for the gift of the calm, peaceful send off for a most special and beloved member of our family. It was what he deserved and she was amazing."
Dr. Harper was possibly one of the most compassionate and gentle vets we have ever known. She made a very difficult appointment as beatiful and peaceful as it could have possibly been. I sympathized with her difficult duties with clients she had never met and never been to their home. She handled it all beautifully.
Dr. Amanda Harper was the epitome of professionalism. She was kind and took her time with us and our dog. Smokey was relaxed and felt very loved, at home, with his family. I would never choose to do it differently if we were ever to be in that situation again. This service made a terrible situation as easy as it could ever be. Highly recommend to all my pet-loving friends.
Dr. Harper was so gentle with our dog and so compassionate with us. She helped us so much on one of the hardest days. Thank you Dr. Amanda Harper.
My family and I felt our precious Holly Bell was given the very best care until her last sweet breath. She was gently cared for and caressed by all of us that loved her most. Dr. Amanda was very soft spoken and knew how fragile we all were. She took her time and explained everything to us all. Holly Bell was relaxed and passed very peacefully. She was handled with dignity throughout the entire process even after her death. We chose cremation and received her beautiful urn and paw print the next day and even got a call from them expressing condolences and saying Holly Bell sure looked very royal. She was our queen and I’m so glad she was treated as such by everyone. Our grief is present but we are also comforted knowing our fur baby is at peace and not in pain.
As difficult as it was to lose our Albert Amanda compassion, patience made the situation much easier. Thank you for caring so greatly.
Dr Harper was truly wonderful. She was a blessing, kind, considerant, and comforting. She was gentle with our furbaby and made sure he was in no pain. She made his passing as easy as possible for him and us. So glad we chose in home euthanasia.
Dr. Harper provided such good care of our 16-year-old dog Sophie when it was time for us to say goodbye. While the loss was very difficult, there was comfort in letting her go at home where she was most comfortable.
I am very glad that we had Coda Pet and especially Dr. Amanda Harper handle my in-home pet euthanasia. Dr. Harper was very kind, sweet, and patient during the entire thing and she made the process much more comfortable. It was a very sad and difficult day putting down my 18 year old poodle who was blind, and I’ve never had to put a pet down before. The respect and care that Dr. Harper showed made things feel not as scary. She answered any questions we had and showed my sweet dog so much love the whole time. I highly recommend this company.
Dr Harper is excellent and professional. She called the day before and asked questions and came up with a plan. I appreciate her expertise. She genuinely cares.
Dr. Harper was very professional and was very thoughtful throughout the entire process. I couldn't ask for anything more from her. She was very patient, knowledgeable and compassionate and treated my pup like she was one of her own. I trusted my baby Kana with her and she was wonderful throughout this very tough procedure. I would suggest this in home service to everyone that is able to.
Giving up our sweet dog Jasmine of almost 15 years was heartwrenching. Of course we also did not want to see her miserable and suffering. So glad we found Dr Amanda Harper. She came to our home and made this all go very smoothly. Jasmine went to sleep laying across our lap as we showered her with hugs, kisses, praises and prayer. She went peacefully. For such an incredibly difficult thing to do… Dr Harper made all the difference. She even had a doggy gurney and helped me carry Jasmine to the burial spot in my back yard. So glad we did not take her to the vet for this. Thank you Dr Harper! God Bless, George Davis
Dr. Amanda made sure Bear was comfortable & made a difficult decision so much better for us. We can’t thank Dr. Amanda enough for her kindness & care she showed us.
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.
I'm so glad I picked the in-home option. It was a lot less stressful than taking her to the vet. Amanda was great! She walked us through the process beforehand and made it as painless as possible.
As difficult as it was to lose our Albert Amanda compassion, patience made the situation much easier. Thank you for caring so greatly.
Our experience with Dr. Amanda Harper was wonderful. She has the kindest heart and made sure we were ready and went over everything that she was doing. We are so grateful for her service and how well she took care of our dog and us during his last moment.
Dr. Amanda was so very kind, gentle and compassionate with our elder pup Philbert. It was the most peaceful and loving environment we could of asked for. She was very sweet and amazing with him and he barely even noticed what was happening, it was only happiness and snacks which is exactly how I want to remember our angel boy. Thank you for walking us through the experience and for helping us transition. It couldn't have been more perfect with the sun shining and the birds chirping outside. We had our time to say goodbye and it was very felt and genuinely one of the most moving experiences we have had collectively.
Dr Amanda was so very kind and compassionate during her visit… she wanted to know all about our sweet Chevy and got to “know” him for a little while. She made a very emotional day a little easier… praying over him as he passed. That touched my heart! God Bless you Dr Amanda
Dr. Harper was great. She made a very difficult time into a good experience. My cat was feisty and we needed a special attack to get the initial injection. We worked as a team and she was able to get the full dose of anesthesia in and the process happened quickly. I know Buddy went peacefully and Dr. Harper went above and beyond to comfort us.
I cannot thank Dr. Amanda Harper enough for the care and compassion she provided during one of the most difficult times for our family. She came to our home to help us say goodbye to our beloved dog, Chester, after 13 wonderful years together. Her professionalism, empathy, and gentle approach brought us comfort during an incredibly emotional time. She made sure Chester was at peace in his final moments, surrounded by the people who loved him most. We are forever grateful for her kindness and the care she provided. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants their pet to be treated with the utmost respect and compassion.
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.
This was the first time having my pet put down at home. Dr. Amanda Harper was amazing. She explained everything and what to expect. Treated my Roxie like she was her own. It takes someone very special to do this job and Dr. Amanda Harper was a god sent. Loved that my Roxie was in her own environment and everyone was there to send her on her journey to the rainbow bridge.
Dr. Amanda made a hard moment so much easier for us. She was so kind and loving and empathetic throughout the whole process and treated our little guy with such care. He wasn’t scared at all in his last moments.
Dr. Harper made an extremely difficult time, easy. When we had to put our Sweet Pup down. Dr. Harper never rushed our goodbye and allowed us to part ways with our loved one at our own pace. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Dr. Harper was the most gentle and caring person to us and our beloved pup when it came time to help him leave this world. We are so very grateful we found her.
Dr Harper was perfect. She was very gentle with our beautiful boy, and took time to explain what was going to happen. She has a calm, clear, and gentle style that is truly what is needed during a time like this.
Dr Harper made a horrible experience more bearable. She explained everything that was going on, she gave us time to spend with our dog, Rocky. It felt like she was working on her own pet.
As difficult as it was to lose our Albert Amanda compassion, patience made the situation much easier. Thank you for caring so greatly.
Molly was our children’s first pet, the 14 years she was with us was definitely great time. As heart-breaking as this was, her passing was family shared experience, one that we fell brought us closer as a family. Dr. Harper was simply amazing, she was patient, kind, and comforted us during a difficult time. Our Molly left this world loved, unafraid, and not alone. Amanda, thank you so much for being part of our family that day, this journey would have been so painful if you had not been present.
Dr. Harper made the euthanization of our sweet kitty a peaceful experience. Snickerdoodle (and the 2 of us) didn't have to go through the trauma of being put in a carrier and having a long car ride to the vet clinic, a place that terrified him.
Dr. Amanda was very sweet, gentle, and thoughtful throughout a really difficult process. I really appreciated her caring nature and would recommend her for your pet's needs - she will take good care of them. Thank you, Dr. Amanda.
Amanda Harper was an absolute angel sent to me for such a difficult process, saying goodbye to a furry loved one. My Nala had always been a sweet but anxious cat due to trauma before I got her. Amanda couldn’t have made the transition to the other side more peaceful for her. And so incredibly supportive and empathetic to me. She was such a blessing and would recommend her 1000%. Thank you Dr. Harper!
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.
How do you say goodbye to one of the most beautiful and gentle companions to ever grace our home? The decision was wrenching, but our sweet Sassy was telling us it was time. An angel was sent to us at one of the most emotional and confusing times of our lives. That angel was Dr. Amanda Harper. We knew Sassy (and me and my wife) were in the hands of a compassionate, caring and loving professional. Dr. Harper knew in her heart the difficulty of us having to say goodbye to our beloved Sassy, and her calming and patient support gave us a quiet in our hearts as our ailing Sassy gently left us. Dr. Amanda Harper is truly an angel.
I highly recommend Dr. Amanda Harper. The experience was completely peaceful for our sweet cat and for us. Dr. Harper is a gifted and caring Veterinarian with a big heart.
Dr. Amanda Harper was extremely gentle and compassionate during the difficult process. We were pleased with her professionalism and kindness.
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

I would recommend Dr Harper and her services to anyone dealing with the tough decision of having to let a pet go. She was so kind and gentle with our dog and made the process as good as an extremely difficult day can be. From her arrival to when she left with our departed dog, she treated Scout as if she were her own. We were extremely greatful for the service and care she provided not only to our dog, but to my wife and I as well.
Dr. Harper felt more like a family member who had known our sweet girl all her life and I felt she really understood how hard this decision was for us. She was patient, and thoughtful and we would recommend her again and again.
Dr Amanda was so very kind and compassionate during her visit… she wanted to know all about our sweet Chevy and got to “know” him for a little while. She made a very emotional day a little easier… praying over him as he passed. That touched my heart! God Bless you Dr Amanda
We recently had to make the heartbreaking decision to say goodbye to our beloved cat, Dexter, after years of joy and companionship. In our darkest moment, Dr. Amanda Harper from CodaPet came to our home and guided us through the process with unparalleled professionalism and emotional support. From the moment she arrived, her calm presence and genuine empathy helped my wife and me feel seen and held, even as grief overwhelmed us. What truly set this experience apart was the peace it brought Dexter—no stressful drive to the vet, just the quiet comfort of his favorite bed surrounded by the people who loved him most. Dr. Harper ensured the procedure was as gentle and dignified as possible, allowing him to pass without pain or fear. Her attention to every detail didn't stop there; she thoughtfully collected his remains in a beautiful blanket and basket, then personally delivered him to the crematorium for us, sparing us one more layer of burden on an already impossible day. CodaPet's in-home service isn't just convenient—it's a profound act of kindness that honors the bond we share with our pets. If you're facing this choice, I can't recommend Dr. Harper and CodaPet highly enough. They turned an unbearable farewell into something as sacred and serene as it could be. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts—Dexter's peaceful goodbye is a gift we'll forever be grateful for.
Dr. Amanda Harper was amazing. Her professionalism & expertise was very much appreciated in this hard time. Having a pet put down is never easy, however Dr. Amanda made the experience a little less painful by being so supportive, kind, and calm not only with our sweet cat, but with my family as well.
Dr Harper was wonderful. She took the time to explain everything that was going to happen. She gave us time to sit with our pet once everything was done and she made what is a horrible experience somewhat bearable. She is an absolute angel to care of everything like she did.
Dr. Harper was amazing! She handled the situation so nice it made Maria and myself feel so good through such a sad time. I would recommend this to anyone.
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.

Amanda was so amazing during this difficult experience. If you are struggling with the decision I highly recommend her. She took time with us and our sweet Ace.
Dr. Harper was professional, empathetic, kind, and supportive. This was one of the worst days of our lives, but I’m so grateful it was Dr. Harper that was with us. She gave us space to grieve, was understanding and patient with our questions and concerns, and gentle and kind to our sweet dog.
I think God knew I needed someone as caring and understanding as Dr. Harper to help me through my ginger’s passing so when Dr. Harper came it was truly a blessing to have her be with us. It was just me and Ginger at home together and Dr. Harper brought so much warmth and love that I didn’t feel as scared and alone as I did before. I was feeling so guilty for making this choice and she helped me through a lot of those emotions. I didn’t know what to expect about this process and she was so good to me and good to ginger. I’m forever thankful Dr. Harper was the one who knocked on my door when it was time for me to say goodbye to my best friend.
During the most heartbreaking time as a pet owner, I'm beyond grateful that our experience felt like we were honoring our pup. Dr. Harper was so loving and caring for the experience, our pace, and our girl.
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.
I can not recommend Dr. Harper and this service enough. Being able to say goodbye to my anxious dog at home made such a huge difference for us. In such a difficult time, she was so kind and empathetic. I can't thank you enough.
