Making the decision to euthanize a beloved pet is never an easy decision. But it is often one of the kindest decisions we can make for them. With my own pets, I have experienced euthanasia both in a clinical setting and at home. The kindness and support provided by the veterinarians in both situations has always been incredible, but I felt that being in my own home provided a level of comfort and familiarity for both me and my pets that can’t be replicated outside the home. I am honored to be able to provide a similar experience for other families and help make their pets’ transition from this world as peaceful as possible.

I unfortunately recently had to use CodaPet's services for my 15-year-old Beagle. Booking was very easy to do on their website. Having it done in my house made the process so much easier on my family and my other dogs. I am so thankful for the professional and compassionate care provided by Dr. Angela Schmillen in Richmond, VA! She helped to make a heartbreaking situation the best that it could be. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone needing at-home pet euthanasia.
Dr Angela was so comforting and understanding during this difficult time. I am so thankful she was able to be there for us and Zelda as she crossed the rainbow bridge.
Excellent thoughtful and dignified service. You can tell she really cares about your pet, your feelings, and just how difficult a moment that is.
Dr. Schmillen was just who we needed during the difficult time of euthanizing our beloved Bailey. She was very compassionate and empathetic and made this process as easy as possible.
Dr. Schmillen, Was very professional, accommodating, suportive and helped us with our precious Carlita crossing the rainbow bridge. Very thankful she was here during that moment.
If you are looking for kind, compassion in home pet euthanasia, I would definitely recommend this company. Dr. Angela Schwimmer came out last weekend and was amazing with our Lhasa apso Sampson. She was gentle, loving and really gave us the peace of mind that we were doing the right thing. It was so comfortable for him to pass at home instead of a sterile office. The whole process was seamless and the respect she showed him and us was so appreciated during such a hard time.
