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
Dr Perzak is a lovely person. She is very professional and has empathy for the people going through this process. Thank you, Dr Perzak. I hope life treats you as well as you treat others.
Phenomenal experience in an exceptionally hard time. Dr P was so very compassionate and caring. We could not have asked for a better experience to say goodbye to our precious kitty of 16 yrs. We’ve had to say goodbye to pets before, but having such a warm and loving person help you thru the process at home is the best possible way. Highly recommend Dr P.
Dr. Perzak of Codapet was warm, caring and helped us through the loss of our beloved Cobie. This is a wonderful service for us pet owners who don't want to put our babies through any more stress by dragging them to an office. Highly recommended.
Dr. Perzak was not only caring, but her professionalism gave us reassurance at an important time. Only today, two weeks later, as we were spreading our dear pet's ashes near a special hiking place, did we find his dog tags among the ashes, just as it should have been. Now we will put the tags with the remaining ashes in the most special location. Thank you, Dr. Perzak and the Codapet team for handling everything just right. It gave Blazethe proper end to a life of love and activity.
Doctor Perzak was so compassionate and kind. This was a very hard decision for me to make, and she made it as easy as humanly possible for both my BJ and me
Dr Perzak was beyond wonderful and kind through a most difficult situation. It is never easy to make the decision to let your pet go, but she made it so much easier to deal with. What a treat it was to be able to do this in the comfort of our home with my boys surrounding our beloved Murphy. I highly recommend this service and requesting Dr Perzak to come to your home. I can't say enough about her kindness.
