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
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 so warm and understanding. We had our whole family present and she was very thoughtful and gracious. I can not thank her enough
We cannot say enough good things about Dr Deborah Perzak and CodaPet. In the days immediately following Hurricane Helene, our beloved cat Samantha's (Sammy's) health declined very quickly. We knew it was the end for her, and she was suffering significantly. But because so much of the State was out of power and no Veteranarian hospitals were open, we could only watch with our hearts breaking for our poor Sammy. On the recommendation of our friends, we contacted CodaPet, and despite the lack of power and difficult roads, Dr Perzak was able to meet us that day. The experience was so professional but personal as well. We were able to put her on the grass where we knew Sammy was the most comfortable and that is where she administered the medicines to put her to sleep and send her on her way. She wrapped our beloved Sammy in a purple blanket and she even gave us a hug knowing how much it hurt us. She will forever be a person we will recommend for anyone who has to go through this heartbreaking event.
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.
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.
She was as sweet and comforting with our Indy as he was with all whom he met when he was still here. Couldn’t recommend highly enough. ❤️
