Dr. Deborah Perzak
Verified Veterinarian
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
Last night Dr Perzak cane to my house and was outstanding to work with! She spent a few minutes sitting and speaking with me and petting my wonderful son before the procedure. Coda Pet and Dr P made this completely devastating time as simple and reassuring as possible.
Dr. Perzak was kind and understanding. She help us in our time of need and help us to let our Fur baby Jazzy go in his home on his bed Surrounded by his family.
When I realized that it was time for my sweet Axle to cross the rainbow bridge I wanted to create a peaceful, calm setting in a familiar place surrounded by people and things he loved. I reached out to Coda Pet to schedule a consultation. Dr. Perzak was so helpful in explaining the process. She answered all of my many questions leading up to our appointment and even assisted me with moving up the initial appointment when Axle’s condition worsened. When she arrived at my home, we chatted and she examined my baby and loved on him as we spoke. She allowed me to tell her of our many adventures and special moments together over the past 15 years. She explained everything as she went along and there was never any rush. She gave us space and allowed all the time that we needed to say our goodbyes. Dr Perzak definitely has a gift for assisting pets and their families during this difficult time. I absolutely recommend in home euthanasia and Dr Perzak. She was amazing!
It was so sad to say goodbye to Duke...at least it was a peaceful goodbye in the comfort of our home. I'd recommend Dr Perzak for anyone seeking to euthanize at home when they are elderly and in too much pain.
Hey, tough bitter sweet post. Bailey was our first baby and always will be. She was a core part of our safety and our daily life. When the hardest decision had to be made fortunately we found Dr. Perzak. To be honest we did not know what to expect or really wanted to make this decision. However we made the decision of our baby to pass on. This is where Dr. Perzak shined like a bright star in such a dark time. She made all of our final moments as sentiment and thoughtful as she could possibly do in her position. Dr. Perzak showed up to our house at late hours in the evening " scheduling availability" which allowed us to spend as much of our last momements with our baby. When she arrived it wasn't " just straight to business". She stayed put with us and embraced those last precious moments with our baby like it was her own. She was so heart felt and gentle through out this entire difficult hsrship in our life. I never wish this part of companionship with any owner but it's inevitable. However when that time does come, you should rest easy knowing there is a amazing Doctor out there who clearly is passionate about what she does and is loving and sincere when it comes to those momements. Can't express enough how grateful we are through out it all. Thank you again Dr. Perzak. Sincerely, The Shulers
Dr. Deborah Perzak was so very kind to our family on one of the hardest days of our lives. Our dog was 15 years old and making the decision to let him go was such a hard one to make, but Dr. P was so compassionate and walked us through each step. Seymour passed quickly and I can’t thank Dr.P enough for her kindness and professionalism during the most difficult day.
