Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
I offer in-home euthanasia because it can transform a profoundly sad moment into a deeply personal and peaceful farewell. The clinical environment of a veterinary office can be overwhelming and distressing, not just for pets but for owners as well. At home, the process can be gentler and less traumatic, allowing for a more natural transition. I am dedicated to honoring the beautiful bond between pets and their owners. My ultimate goal is to allow pets to pass away in a familiar, peaceful setting that honors their dignity.

What pet parents are saying
Angela was great. She came highly recommended by my vet. She gave great guidance beforehand. We were back and forth on whether my wife and I wanted the kids there. I understand that she runs a business but the customer service and empathy made the experience as good as it could be under the circumstances. Although it was a sad moment, she also helped in making it beautiful experience shared amongst the whole family. Thank you so much.
She was very flexible and was able to come to Vergils aid at earlier time than scheduled. She gave us time with our pup before she took him and was very caring. Very friendly and highly recommend her.
Dr. De Villa was so compassionate and informative during the whole process. We appreciate her dedication to providing such an important service.
I'm so grateful I found this company when searching for an in home pet euthanasia company. When it became clear it was time to say goodbye to my soul dog, I was able to book an appointment at the last minute, and Dr. De Villa was very compassionate and reached out right away. She was gentle, empathetic, and truly made a heartbreaking situation as peaceful and beautiful as it could possibly be. My dog was comfortable and surrounded by love in their familiar surroundings, which made all the difference. I can't thank them enough for providing such a calm and respectful passing. I highly recommend their services to anyone facing this difficult time.
It is difficult to even think about sending Foxy and Chica, our almost 17 year old sister Chihauhau mix pups over the rainbow together. It has been 5 days since they took their journey. Angela was so comforting. I did not want to stress them going to their veterinarian office. It was a peaceful transition, thanks to Dr. Angela DeVilla for taking her time and letting us process the procedure which she explained really well.
We really appreciated the end-of-life services of Dr. Angela De Villa and CodaPet. When our elderly cat, who had been in decline, suddenly took a sharp downturn and was clearly struggling, I was able to make a same-day appointment for at-home euthanasia with Dr. De Villa for the earliest time available. When she heard about our cat struggling, she texted me to move the appointment earlier. It was such a gift to be able to put him to sleep in our own home without additional stress. Dr. De Villa was thoughtful and empathetic, explaining each step in the process, and allowing us to determine when to proceed at each point. We're so grateful.
