Verified Veterinarian
I wanted to become a veterinarian so that I could make a difference. When I was in college, I had a deep interest in science and research, and I loved to challenge myself. I was fortunate as a child to have parents that understood my love for animals and would allow me to "bring home the strays", so to speak. I worked for several years in the restaurant industry before deciding to use my gifts with people and animals, as well as my science background, to pursue my dream of becoming a veterinarian. I believe in the golden rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. To me, this means treating the people I meet and the pets I take care of with respect, dignity, and compassion. I liken being a veterinarian to a pediatrician: Since both pets and small children cannot always communicate to me what is wrong, or where it hurts, it is up to me to listen to the pet parent and use what they say to help diagnose and treat their pet.

Dr. Perzak was great. She was very kind and compassionate, took her time with us and explained what to expect. I’m very grateful that we were able to let our baby be at home and have a peaceful passing. I can’t thank Dr. Perzak enough for what she does. The whole process was very easy from booking the appointment and adding the cremation and memorial items option. It made a very hard day just a little less stressful
We cannot say enough good things about Dr Deborah Perzak and CodaPet. In the days immediately following Hurricane Helene, our beloved cat Samantha's (Sammy's) health declined very quickly. We knew it was the end for her, and she was suffering significantly. But because so much of the State was out of power and no Veteranarian hospitals were open, we could only watch with our hearts breaking for our poor Sammy. On the recommendation of our friends, we contacted CodaPet, and despite the lack of power and difficult roads, Dr Perzak was able to meet us that day. The experience was so professional but personal as well. We were able to put her on the grass where we knew Sammy was the most comfortable and that is where she administered the medicines to put her to sleep and send her on her way. She wrapped our beloved Sammy in a purple blanket and she even gave us a hug knowing how much it hurt us. She will forever be a person we will recommend for anyone who has to go through this heartbreaking event.
Dr. Perzak was a calming presence during the euthanasia of my sweet puppy. She was professional and did not rush us through the process. As painful as this decision was for me, I'm glad we were able to do it in the comfort of our home where our pup could be relaxed and not anxious in her final moments.
Dr Perzak was kind, understanding, compassionate and patient. She didn't rush the process and gave us all the time we needed. I highly recommend her!
Michelle Albrecht is my neighbor and friend and we shared in the care of our feral cat, "Fluffy". Fluffy was accustomed to us, but was still leary of carriers and traps. When he appeared one evening in terrible stress and pain, we didn't know what we would do to get help for him. I spoke with Dr. Carolyn Anderson who told me about CodaPet. We were very grateful. It was soon obvious that the best we could do for Fluffy was to relieve him of his pain. Dr Perzak came early the following morning and we were very pleased with her care of Fluffy as well as concern for us. She has a huge heart and love for animals and their caregivers and it's very obvious. We will always remember her kindness and her patience in sending Fluffy over the rainbow bridge. She made a difficult time much better for us, and for Fluffy. God bless you all connected with CodaPet.
Dr Perzak had been taking care of our cat for many years prior to leaving her practice. She was well aware of our cat and our family and knew our decision was not easy to make.
