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.

The time had come for my family to say goodbye to our sixteen year old Russian Blue, Padmé. We are grateful to Dr. Bonnie for making the process so peaceful. Her knowledge, professionalism and compassionate made an anguishing situation less painful. I highly recommend Dr. Bonnie and Coda Care.

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.

Dr. Goldthwaite was very gentle with our 20 year old cat. She was compassionate and caring with him, and with us as we went through this difficult time. It meant so much to us to have him pass away peacefully in the comfort and safety of his own home.
