Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

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.

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.

Review by Dr. Angela Schmillen

In such a time of sadness and despair Dr Schmillen was exactly perfect. From the first moment we booked the appointment with her via website she immediately replied with such a kind and helpful demeanor. She made things simple and easier for us, provided all the information we needed it and put our minds at ease about the process. She stayed in contact with us during the two days prior to Elsa’s passing and answered a few more questions we had. And when she finally arrived to our house it was all done in peace and calmness. I can’t imagine a better person to perform this service. I absolutely recommend her 100%.

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.

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.

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! 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.

Excellent thoughtful and dignified service. You can tell she really cares about your pet, your feelings, and just how difficult a moment that is.
