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
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.
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.
As difficult as it was to lose our Albert Amanda compassion, patience made the situation much easier. Thank you for caring so greatly.
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 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.
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.
