Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
As a veterinarian, my most meaningful experiences are those of guiding families through the process of saying goodbye to a beloved pet. My role is to provide compassionate support that recognizes the unique needs of each family- whether it be an objective conversation regarding quality of life, helping parents guide children through pet loss, or simply providing reassurance that the right decision is being made. Having a trusted guide throughout this complex process is essential.

What pet parents are saying
Dr. Bonnie Goldthwaite took care of my service dog, Armani with professionalism and tenderness. She did not hurry the process and was attentive and loving during the procedure. She carefully explained the procedure and made sure Armani was relaxed and not in pain. I will always be grateful for her kindness.
Our cat Ella, took a turn for the worst and went downhill quickly suffering from irritable bowel disease. Choosing in-home pet euthanasia was equal parts the worst decision we had to make and the best decision we could make for Ella. Dr. Bonnie Goldthwaite was able to come to our home the same day and provided so much comfort during an obviously distressing time. Ella was calm in my arms while the injections were done and we sat with her for some time afterwards. It's been nearly a week and while we're still sad that part of our family is gone, we're so grateful to Dr. Goldthwaite for helping us at such a difficult time.
I contacted CodaPet for in home pet euthanasia for my cat. My cat had lymphoma and though he had been doing well he suddenly 'crashed' overnight and was very much in distress. Dr. Bonnie Goldthwaite responded to my same-day request, and was professional, knowledgeable, kind, and caring through the whole process. My cat is/was very afraid of strangers, and Dr. Goldthwaite called ahead and we discussed how to best handle the situation; I appreciated this so much, and it worked out perfectly. This was the first time I've used an at-home vet service, and I will do so if the situation comes up again. I highly recommend Dr. Goldthwaite if you have the opportunity.
I just want to say how grateful I am for Dr. Goldthwaite. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs to say goodbye to their loving pet. She did a wonderful job getting us through a really difficult situation. Don't hesitate to hire her!
Dr. Bonnie Goldthwaite was incredible. She was patient, compassionate, and very professional at the same time. I had a peaceful and beautiful experience in saying goodbye to my sweet cat. Thank you!
In home pet euthanasia for our kitty was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do, but it was also the kindest way for her. Dr. Bonnie helped make it bearable by her kindness, interest in our story that brought us to this point, and help with understanding cat behavior. This last part was especially helpful to me since processing our kitty's recent behavior with Dr. Bonnie helped solidify my sense that my kitty was suffering and needed help.
