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
The kindness and compassion for our sweet Molly and our family Dr. Perzak shared made a very difficult time bearable. Fortunately we haven't had to go through this before and really were apprehensive and torn about the decision. Having Molly at home surrounded by her family and her furry siblings let us know without a doubt we had an angel with us in Dr Perzak. Thank you
Dr. Perzak was such a blessing to our family as we had to put our dog down. Her kindness and gentleness with our dog were a comfort and she handled the entire process incredibly from coordinating the details ahead of time to everything the day of. We cannot thank her enough!
The scheduling was easy and everyone I spoke with was so kind and professional. Dr. Perzak from beginning to end was extremely supportive and compassionate to our needs. I would recommend CodaPet to anyone who looks to care for their fur babies at home. They are the absolute best at what they do.
It's hard to put into words how I feel right now. All I know is I appreciate Dr Perzak so much. Her kindness and gentle demeanor during this time meant the world to me. What an incredible service she she provides and is so accommodating. Thank you so much.
Dr Perzak was wonderful to our sweet Lili and to us. We judge character on how well our dogs like people. Lili was feeling terrible. When Dr Perzak came and sat with her she crawled up on her lap and put her head in her hand. She knew she was to be trusted and that she was there to help her. And she did. We appreciate this service in the home. It was so much easier on sweet Lilith Anne who as a rescue dog has always been terribied of going to the vets office. Thank you!
Cannot recommend Dr. Perzak enough. She was kind, compassionate, and let us take all the time we needed with the passing of our dog that we viewed as a family member. The whole process from start to finish was peaceful and in a place where our dog felt most comfortable. 10/10 would recommend- completely worth it.
