Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

In all the roles I've had in veterinary medicine, the part I found most fulfilling was supporting animals and their owners through end-of-life care. I have been doing hospice work for over 10 years and truly find it an honor to provide a peaceful, pain-free transition for beloved companions.

What pet parents are saying

Dr. Dover was so kind and compassionate. She made a very difficult situation as easy as possible for our family and made sure that Kona was comfortable and felt loved as she passed. Being able to do this at home was so much easier on our family and our dog. I highly recommend this service and this vet.

We think that it takes a special person to be able to be both professional and kind and compassionate. We really felt her strength and kindness at a time when our emotional heartbreak was consuming everything. I would recommend Dr. Docer if you ever make the decision to say goodbye to your pet in your home..

Dr. Dover was kind and compassionate. She made sure we understood the whole process. She let us experience our emotions in a safe space. We couldn't have asked for a better person to help our Cosmo cross the Rainbow Bridge.

If I could leave 10 stars I would. I had a 16 year old yorkie that I have been holding onto hoping that he would just pass away in the middle of the night peacefully in his sleep and when I wake up he would be in heaven. Unfortunately things never go the way we hoped for. My poor Romeo has been trying to show me/tell me for awhile now that he’s ready, The last 2 months I seen a complete decline and finally found enough courage and strength to bring him into see his Vet. I rescued Romeo in November 2009. He was 9 months and I was 19 years old. Fast forward to today and he is now 16 years and a few months old and I’m now 35. So you can only imagine the attachment that I had for him. I guess I already knew it was time but I needed confirmation or validation. I guess if someone that is experienced tells me it’s time then it won’t have to necessarily be my choice lol this was my thought process. I knew that I didn’t want to do it in a clinic. So I went home that night and called around for estimates and to feel people out and see who felt right. I stumbled upon CodaPet after I had made a few calls to other places but I just didn’t feel right. When I read their page and saw Dr.Dover and her information, without even talking to her first I knew for some reason that she was the one that needed to do it. Well my intuition was absolutely right. I couldn’t have asked for a better veterinarian to come in to our home and help my little man cross over the rainbow bridge. She was absolutely amazing, professional, compassionate, understanding and respectful. I mean I could go on and on. I’m not a very emotional person, I would say that I handle death a lot better than most. I knew I’d be sad and I would cry, of course but I was not expecting the kind of pain that I felt when I had to say goodbye. So I believe that it is important who you choose to come into your own and share that kind of deep personal experience with and I’m just so grateful that I chose her to come in and take care of my little Romeo like she did. She was super thorough, she was mindful and sat us down before she did anything and explained the process. I have never experienced this before so it was a little scary I’m not going to lie. However, all that went away moments after her arrival. She had this calmness about her that made me feel safe. You can tell she is very passionate about what she does. I am a CNA that works in home hospice for old people, so in a way we kind of have the Same job but she does it for animals, I do it for people however of course I’m not putting people into a forever sleep, obviously. But I know first hand that it takes a special person to go around and do what she does. If you have any doubts about your fur baby, I strongly strongly recommend getting in touch with Dr.Dover and talking to her about options. I promise you won’t regret it and you will instantly feel that she’s the best veterinarian for this job. I love that she didn’t treat it like a “job.” The other places that I called just seemed like they were just out to completely drain my pockets to kill my dog and I did NOT like that. But Dr.Dover was far from anything like that. It was absolutely a good feeling knowing that my Romeo was in good Hands. Dr.Dover- I can’t thank you enough for everything you did for me and my little man last night. I know that he’s up there running through fields being wild and is no longer suffering and most likely sniffin out and eating all the bacon his little heart desires. You made it peaceful and special. I can’t thank you enough. No need to search any longer, you have found the perfect Veterinarian. Don’t hesitate or allow your fur baby to suffer any longer!! Godbless Julia Dillard

So many “Thank You’s” to Dr. Dover and the service she provides. From the moment I scheduled our appointment, Dr. Dover communicated with me about ETA’s, what to expect from the at-home euthanasia process, and advice for post euthanasia processes as well. She was incredibly personable and compassionate to both my family and our dear late Kitty.

Dr Dover is caring and compassionate. It is difficult to lose a member of your family and our beloved cat Alice was a member of our family for 17 years. Having CodaPet come to our house to euthanize Alice made her passing as peaceful as possible.
