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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
