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. Christina was the kindest, most compassionate person to help guide us through a very difficult time as we had to put down our beloved golden retriever after 13 wonderful years. She was patient and kind, explained the whole process, and thoughtfully engaged with our dog and us through it all. We are so grateful for her gentle compassion.

Dr. Christina is wonderful! She is very compassionate and truly a wonderful person. I don’t think we could have had a better experience at such a difficult time with anyone else. If you are thinking of at home euthanasia, CodaPet and Dr. Christina are the only ones I would choose.

Dr. Christina really helped us through the difficult event of putting to sleep our beloved 15 yr old dog. Her caring and gentle approach made it easier to say goodbye.
