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.

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.

can’t say enough good things about Dr. De Villa. She cared for our sweet Sadie during one of the most heartbreaking moments of our lives, and her presence made all the difference. From the moment she walked in, her calm and loving energy helped ease some of the weight we were carrying. She treated Sadie with such gentleness, compassion, and respect, and she treated us the same. What truly blew me away was the handwritten note I received from her afterward. It was so personal, so sincere—it showed just how deeply she cares, not just for her patients, but for the families behind them. In such a painful time, her empathy brought real comfort. I will always be grateful to Dr. De Villa for the grace, compassion, and care she gave us. She is truly special.

Thankfully Dr Angela De Ville was able to come quickly to assist Stewie over the Rainbow Bridge as he went down hill very quickly. She was kind and walked me through every step of the procedure and it was a very peaceful process. So thankful she was there to help us.

Dr. De Villa was incredibly kind, patient, and provided genuine care through an extremely difficult experience. Communication was professional leading up to, throughout and following her visit. My family is grateful for her care.

Review by Dr. Angela De Villa

Dr. Angela kept us posted about her arrival time, which we appreciated. Her 'good vibes" were immediately apparent. She steps lightly and speaks gently. She explained, ahead of time, exactly what she would be doing for Frankie, and was willing and able to work with Frankie on my lap. She listened carefully to Frankie's heart, and let us know when it stopped beating. She gave us some private moments, and returned with a basket and blankets. My grandson was able to place Frankie into the carry basket. Thank you, Dr De Villa, for being who you are in this crazy old world, so that we could give Frankie our final gift of peace.
