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

Dr. De Villa was amazing. She walked us through every step of the process. She was so comforting as we said goodbye to our fur baby of 15 years.

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.

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.

We are beyond grateful to Dr. Angela De Villa for the incredible compassion and care she showed during one of the most difficult moments our family has ever faced. Saying goodbye to our beloved dog Benny was heartbreaking, but Dr. Angela made the experience peaceful, dignified, and filled with empathy. As young pet owners going through this process for the first time, we were full of questions, uncertainty, and emotion. Upon arrival, Dr. Angela immediately validated our decision with warmth and understanding. She gently evaluated Benny’s current state, helping us feel reassured that we were making the most loving choice for him—even though it was incredibly hard. Her calm, steady presence brought comfort and clarity to a situation that felt overwhelming. What truly stood out was the way she had prepared her vehicle for Benny’s final journey to cremation—softly lit with floral arrangements and set up with such thoughtful care. It felt more like a tribute than a transport, and it meant the world to us knowing he was treated with such dignity. That level of care meant the world to us. She treated Benny not just as a pet, but as a cherished soul. She walked us through every step of the process with patience and deep compassion. Her tenderness with Benny, and her respect for his life and our love for him, was unforgettable. We never felt rushed, only supported. Dr. Angela also provided us with keepsakes to remember Benny—beautiful, thoughtful mementos that we will always hold close. They brought a sense of peace and connection that continues even now. Thanks to Dr. Angela, Benny was able to spend his final moments at home, surrounded by the people who loved him most. We will forever be grateful for the grace, professionalism, and heart she brought to one of the hardest days of our lives. We wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Angela to any pet family facing this impossible goodbye. Her presence was a true gift, and we will never forget her care for Benny—and for us.
