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.

Dr Angela De Villa is a very compassionate person. This was the toughest thing to go through. She made us feel very comfortable and explained the process very well.

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. DeVilla was a very compassionate and considerate person. She also affirmed that under the circumstances, this was the best choice for my baby to avoid more significant pain in the near future. She explained all thoroughly and only moved forward each step when our family was ready. We were blessed to have her take care of my little Moonstone.

She was very kind and informative of the euthanasia process. She answered all of my concerns prior to the procedure. My sweet girl was in good hands and crossed over the rainbow bridge very peacefully

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.
