Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

What pet parents are saying

There are times when you need a guide to help you through a new and difficult situation. Dr. Ross is that person. She arrived precisely on time, explained everything clearly and made us comfortable through the process. Afterwards she reached out to make sure we were doing okay. We would highly recommend Dr. Ross.

I am forever grateful that my beloved pet was able to be at home during their last moments, and I thank Dr. Daniella for that. However, the experience ended up being more upsetting than needed. One of the silver linings in such an unfortunate situation is that my pet was outwardly still functioning. I’ve had pets in the past who lost abilities such as walking beforehand, and it makes the end of their lives even more heartbreaking. I was relieved to not endure that this time around, but when it came time to begin the end of life procedure, I instinctively reached for my pet. The doctor told me not to, and for some reason I listened. Instead, she gave the first injection while my pet wasn’t close to me. It worked quickly, and as my baby began walking towards me, their legs gave out. They could no longer move, and their head began to lower to the ground. My love was essentially “gone” by this point. So their last moments were of losing their ability to walk, then nodding off on the hardwood floor. The doctor then said “you can hold them now.” Again, they were already gone mentally by then. The second injection caused their heart to stop quickly, in less than a minute. I don’t want to come across as ungrateful, and ultimately it was up to me to do what I saw fit, but it’s still painful to remember my pets last moments. I replay their last day, and am able to hold on until I see them lose their mobility and sink to the floor. I wish I could change my reaction to the doctor in that moment. Please let people hold their babies if that’s what they choose, especially when their pet spent endless hours happily in their arms while living.

Codapet and Dr. Ross made this difficult time manageable and peaceful. Dr. Ross was very accommodating since the minute we connected. She was professional and knowledgeable! Made us feel confident in our decision. I’m thankful that this part of our pet’s transition was peaceful and the most comfortable. She walks us through each step while letting us take our time. She even chatted with us about our cat’s Coda’s beautiful coat and little bit of her life. The entire process was dignified, calm and peaceful. We are forever grateful.

Dr. Ross was amazing, so compassionate, warm and caring. She was so patient and empathetic as our family said our goodbyes. She communicated clearly all that was happening and didn't rush any of the process. Dr. Ross was perfect during a very difficult time. I will forever be grateful to her for turning a potentially horrible situation into a loving and kind goodbye. She even followed up with a beautiful condolence card with a paw print of our beloved pet.
