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. 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.
Dr Angela De Villa was the exact right person to assist Kono is his peaceful end of life. She was compassionate and caring, and was very clear in how the process would work. She even came earlier when asked. Couldn’t have asked for a better Vet. Thank you so much.
Dr. De Villa was so kind and considerate and really helped us through a tough decision. But we do believe out kitty is in a better place and she helped us ensure he got there peacefully.
She was so great. Letting me be at Darby head looking into her eyes during her euthanasia was so special. Can’t say enough about Angela. What a great asset she is to Coda. With love, Mary
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.
Dr. De Villa was so kind and sweet as she assisted both of my senior cats with end of life care. She was kind to them as they passed and so kind to me. She showed compassion and empathy for all of us through a most difficult decision to say goodbye.
