Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

I have always had a strong love for animals, combined with a fascination for science and problem solving I knew becoming a Veterinarian was my calling. After serving countless pets over the years, my professional interest has evolved into a desire to provide a source of help in the times most pets and their owners need it the most. I strive to provide the most compassionate, peaceful, and stress-free experience possible. Having seen way too many pets suffer or experience stress in their last moments, my goal is to help provide relief while ensuring your pet experiences the utmost love and comfort as they pass in the comfort of their own home.

What pet parents are saying

Dr Veron has been our dogs vet for many years. It was a pleasure for us to have her there to send our dog to her final rest. It was a very good experience. So peaceful.

Dr Christine was amazing. This was a very last minute decision to have Hank transition was incredibly heavy on my heart but her confirmation made my decision feel much better. Her kindness and compassion is so evident when you first meet her. She truly wears her heart on her sleeves and has the utmost respect and best interest for those involved. I love that my boy Hank gave her kisses and showed him her his favorite game before he peacefully passed away in my arms. She braved the cold morning of being outside with with us and I am so thankful that she walked into our lives. Thank you Codapet for making this mindful decision happen with communication and Grace.

Dr. Vernon is a caring and compassionate vet. She did everything to make our last time with our beloved cat as gentle and loving as possible. She came to our home which was far better than having to transport him to an office. He was in pain but loved the treats she gave before she administered the injection. We appreciated the care from start to finish. We couldn't have chosen a better person for this important job.

Dr. Christina is a God send in the center of such a sad time in our lives. She was extremely caring, patient and double checked we were absolutely sure this is what we wanted to do. She was so sweet to my fur baby in all her last moments. I know this is never a decision anyone wants to make, but if having to for the sake of your sweet fur babies I absolutely recommend Dr. Christina. We got a beautiful urn back of our baby and a keepsake of her paw that brought tears to my eyes the second I saw it.

Dr. Christina came with such a passionate and sympathetic heart her love for animals and for animal parents is unmatched. She went above and beyond to give us extra time to say goodbye to our dear Maggie Mae and even let our other dogs in to say their final goodbyes as well. I highly recommend Dr. Christina for any emergency animal euthanizing her care and passion even dropping Maggie Mae off was just been above and beyond. Thank you, Dr. Christina for your love, your passion and your overall professionalism during this difficult time.
