Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
From a young age, I have felt a deep connection to animals and a strong desire to support them through every stage of their lives. My decision to provide in-home humane euthanasia services stems from this passion, as well as my commitment to ensuring pets experience a peaceful passing in the comfort of their own home, surrounded by their loved ones. This approach honors the bond we share with our pets and offers families a compassionate and serene way to say goodbye.

What pet parents are saying
This was my first experience losing a pet and this was the best decision that we made. danielle was so sweet and took the time to explain the process both before our appointment and during. The opportunity to do this at home was just what we needed to keep our girl mocha safe and warm in her own home instead of having anxiety from traveling and being in the vets office which can be scary for animals. I will be forever thankful to danielle and codapet for helping us during this time.
Dr Hundley did an exceptional job of preparing us for Mila's euthanasia. She explained everything very well and even in our grief, it was a peaceful experience.
Dr. Hundley was very compassionate and supportive. We were glad that Sully was able to be at home in a comfortable and familiar space surrounded by those who loved him. We were very emotional but we knew it was the right thing to do. Dr.Hundley talked to us and Sully as he was crossing the rainbow bridge. She explained everything ahead of time and gave us time to make our own decision. She thought to ask if he had a favorite toy that he could take with him (which happened to be a tissue box - he is a boxer) and we sent him with his new blanket. She discussed private and group cremation, getting a paw print, clay print, or a Styrofoam print, and she thought to clip some of his soft fur from different spots with his different colors. I would highly recommend this service and Dr. Hundley for anyone who has to face this difficult decision.
I chose in-home pet euthanasia for my beloved dog Cafe. He was the best dog and I wanted his final journey to be at home where he knew and felt loved, safe, and comfortable. Dr Danielle Hundley cared for him when he became ill and she is the most kind, caring and compassionate veterinarian I've ever had the pleasure of having care for my dog. I was so fortunate and relieved to know she would come to my home when I realized it was Cafe's time to go. It was a devastating time for me, but she made it the best experience possible and cared for Cafe as if he was her own pet. I can't express how much this meant to me and how grateful I am, knowing Cafe had the very best care at the end of his life. Thank you so much.
I really can't express how grateful I am to Dr. Hundley for walking with us through this heart breaking time and I can't think of how we could have given our Jenny a better goodbye.
Dr Hundley was so caring and thoughtful as she helped our beloved family dog cross the rainbow bridge. What a blessing it was to be able to say our goodbyes at home, while our pet was comfortable, secure in our home environment, and passed without distress. I would recommend Dr. Hundley and this service in particular for anyone who may be considering this difficult decision.
