Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

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.

What pet parents are saying

Words can't begin to convey how grateful that I am for the sincere care and concern Dr. Perzak provided to me and my wife as we made the incredibly difficult decision to assist our beloved, Remington (Remi), pass from this life to the next. She was extremely patient in explaining the entire process and could not have provided any better support and service to us in our most difficult time. The "gift" she provides with this in-home service allows the animal (and their caregivers) the comfort and dignity of having this transition happen in a comfortable surrounding. This made all the difference for us. There are angels on this earth and I am convinced that Dr. Perzak is one of them. I will never forget the compassion she showed to Remi...and to us. May God bless her and all those that are dealing with this difficult process and may we all be comforted in this time of loss.

We are grateful that CodaPet made the difficult process of saying goodbye to our father's dog peaceful. Dr. Perzak was very compassionate; she stayed in touch with us prior to the appointment, answered all our questions and addressed our concerns, and was patient and caring during the process. Bear hated the vet's office, so it was wonderful to avoid that trauma and allow him to stay in his familiar home surrounded by love from his pack and family.

Dr. Perzak was very compassionate and supportive during our family's difficult time of letting go of our sweet Lilly! She was kind & patient. My son is military so he was not able to be home to say his goodbyes to his childhood dog. He was able to be a part via video call & she took the time to talk with him as well to include him in the moments to say goodbye. Her genuine compassion of our loss helped us understand why it was best to let our Lilly go who was very sick. Our family appreciates everything she did for us! Thank you so much Dr. Perzak!♥️

Review by Dr. Deborah Perzak

My wife and I recently had to make the heartbreaking decision to have our dog Batman, euthanized, and Dr. Deborah Perzak was phenomenal throughout the entire process. She was sincere, compassionate, and incredibly kind. Her ability to communicate clearly and empathetically helped us feel supported and informed every step of the way. She made an unbearable situation as peaceful and dignified as possible, and we are deeply grateful for her professionalism and care. Thank you a million times, Dr. Deborah Perzak, for your kindness during such a difficult time.

Dr. Perzak was absolutely amazing when she came out to help our sweet Dozer cross over the rainbow bridge. She was very kind, patient, and compassionate during this difficult time. We highly recommend her services if it is time to make this difficult decisions for your fur baby.
