Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

A couple of years ago, I had to make the difficult decision of putting my own beloved pet to sleep because she was suffering after being hit by a car. At that moment I fully understood the sorrow and pain pet parents go through when making the same decision for their own pets. I was now on the other side, and I can fully understand that it not an easy place to be. They say you can’t understand someone until you’ve walked a mile in their shoes. This heartbreaking experience and the compassion I feel while practicing vet medicine compelled me to start helping families at the comfort of their own homes. In contrast (Unlike the) with working at busy hospitals and vet clinics where I rush through appointments, this type of work allows me to share a solemn moment with pet parents before they say their last goodbyes. Rest assured that I will be there to support you every step of the way.

What pet parents are saying

It was a very difficult time for my family and myself. We had never experienced it before. And one of the hardest decision I have ever made. I am so great full for the way Dr. Lutri's demeanor was. She was very compassionate, patient and her energy was very much appreciated

This review has taken two months to comprise. Dr. Daniela Lutri was amazing. My beautiful boy had the best care with her. I was not rushed at all and I experienced genuine, loving care with her. I wish this could be a longer review, but I’m still not ready. Please bring this amazing woman into your home when you need to make the most difficult decision for your baby. Thank you, Dr. Daniela. Love, Kimi and Lando

Review by Dr. Daniela Lutri

I cannot express enough gratitude for the outstanding care and support provided by Dr. Lutri. From the moment I first made my inquiry, she’s been accommodating, and she had answered my questions with empathy and professionalism. She made an incredibly heartbreaking time a little more bearable. Dr. Lutri took the time to explain every step of the process, making sure to give us time to absorb what was going on. In those final moments, Dr. Lutri treated Plato with dignity and respect and at the same time, she provided me emotional support. She allowed us more than enough time to be with Plato. I am truly thankful for the compassion and kindness of Dr. Lutri. Thank you for turning that painful situation into a moment of grace and love.

Dr. Daniela Lutri made this painful process so much easier. The minute we met her it was like we had known her for years. She is so compassionate and friendly. She gave us a big hug as soon as she walked in. We had to put down a sister and a brother 8 days apart. It was devasting but, Daniel was so comforting. She reassured us they would be out of pain and happier. Both had stopped eating and were crying from pain from their illness. She rearranged her schedule just so she could come back for our other dog 8 days after the first one. She even hand delivered both cedar boxes of ashes together. We absolutely love Daniela and she made the painful experience much bearable.

The decision to put our beloved Rocko to rest was not easy. I don’t imagine the decision being an easy decision for anyone. However, CodaPet provided a memorable and empathetic experience from beginning to end. The scheduling of our boys rest day was hard, however, the scheduler was very empathetic and validated my feelings throughout the entire phone process. But the most truly memorable piece to our experience was the wonderful care that my family and Rocko received from Dr. Daniela Lutri. First, Dr. Lutri was very communicative and available as we awaited her arrival to our home. Upon arrival, Dr. Lutri made us feel like only our situation mattered and provided a truly specialized and focused experience. Dr. Lutri even took it upon herself to invite questions and was very caring and patient with our feelings, including to my two young nephews who were present. Dr. Lutri’s patient and loving care ensured my family that we made the right decision. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience on a difficult day. Lastly, I want to add that Dr. Lutri’s effort and care didn’t end on my baby’s rest day. Dr. Lutri remained very responsive to follow ups and followed through with our expedited want for our babies arrival back home. We highly recommend CodaPet to assist with the most compassionate farewell to your furry loved one. My family and I hope that you too receive the best care as provided by Dr. Daniela Lutri 🤍🐾
