Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
I became a veterinarian because of my love of animals. Since childhood, some of the people I have admired the most have been veterinarians due to their hard work, intelligence, integrity and compassion for people and animals.

What pet parents are saying
We set up an appointment for my fur baby, Lord Pepe. Unfortunately, his health declined rapidly and we required an appointment sooner than what we had scheduled. We were already in distress. Yet, each interaction with the CodaPet Care Team. They were empathetic, had active listening skills and were overall phenomenal. When it was time to interact with Dr. Chapman, she was stellar. We were not sure what to expect. Dr. Chapman explained the process, understood what our fur baby means to us. We were not rushed and Lord Pepe was treated like royalty. That meant the world to us. We are extremely grateful she was available to assist us. We need more people as benevolent as Dr. Chapman. We were able to say our goodbyes in peace. Dr. Chapman even went above and beyond to acknowledge Lady Pepper, our Tortoiseshell. She ensured Lady Pepper had her time to also say her goodbye. In an already stressful and anguish situation, don't look further and reach out to the CodaPet Care Team and Dr. Chapman. We highly recommend them to assist you during a demise situation.
My husband and I wanted to thank Doctor Chapman for her professionalism and warmth throughout a very difficult time. Our Charley had been deteriorating quickly, and she evaluated him with enormous care and compassion. Throughout the process she showed much kindness and concern for both us and for him, and gave us the opportunity to say goodbye to him and bring his suffering to an end gently and with dignity. We appreciate everything she did and her care and concern throughout the process.
Dr. Chapman was amazing. She really made the most difficult of decisions that a pet owner has to make sooo much easier. Her patience with our cat that needed extra time saying goodbye to our beloved Bo was so much appreciated ❤️. I have recommended her to many of my friends that have older pets and may have to walk this path soon. I highly recommend her to anyone that has to make this incredibly difficult choice. Thank you Dr. Chapman 🙏🏼 We will be eternally grateful
These folks made a really challenging experience as easy as humanly possible. The entire process was simple and professional while also being purposeful and kind. I cannot imagine a better experience when saying goodbye to our beloved family pet and friend. Dr Chapman was so kind and peaceful. We say a huge thank you and also highly recommend working with this group if you should find yourself in need of someone to humanely and kindly help you say goodbye to your beloved pet.
We have nothing but great things to say about Dr. Chapman and our experience with CodaPet in Austin. We had to make a last minute decision for our dog who was suffering from aggressive cancer and not only was Dr. Chapman available to do this for us, but she was also willing to move up our appointment when we realized we needed it sooner than our original scheduled time. Dr. Chapman's communication was amazing from start to finish, communicating through texts up until she arrived (letting us know when to expect her and the cremation company). When she got to our home, she knocked quietly, which we found respectful. Her manner was calming and throughout the entire painful process, she was thorough, explained the process the entire time, made sure we understood what was going on, gave us time to say our goodbyes, and made everything as peaceful as she could. When everything was finished, she explained the next steps, followed up with texts after she left, and made sure that the cremation company (who I also highly recommend) followed up with instructions of their own. The whole process was seamless and as painless as it could be, considering. I would highly recommend Dr. Chapman and CodaPet if and when you're in need of this service.
Dr. Chapman was amazingly kind and compassionate. She made our at home euthanasia appointment a little more bearable. There was no rush. She gave us all the time we needed with our girl, and when we were as ready as we were ever going to be, she was so gentle and kind. All our deepest thanks to Dr. Chapman for helping us give our girl the peace and rest she deserved.
