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

I cannot give enough stars. I have had to let many pets go through the years. This is the first time I have tried in home euthanasia and will never go back to the old way. Dr. Perzak was extremely compassionate and caring, explained everything and let us make decisions about timing. This a a beautiful tribute to your pet that removes stress and fear for them.

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

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.

It's two weeks today that I love my beloved Cobie. Dr. Perzak arrived at precisely the time she said she would--on a Sunday morning, at that. I never felt rushed or hurried, and she explained every step of the process. I was so, so grateful to be able to have Cobie's last experience be one of peace and calm as he passed away easily in my lap. I cannot recommend CodaPet and especially Dr. Perzak highly enough. She took a horrible experience and turned it into a bearable one. Thank you so much!

Dr. Deborah Perzak was the most amazing and professional person to help us process the tragic loss of our beloved pet Stella. She was so comforting and caring during the process. I would highly recommend her services when dealing with such an emotional experience.

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.
