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 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.
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!
I would 100 % recommend Dr. Perzak and CodaPet. She was professional, kind and understanding of the fears and emotions of a pet parent. I texted several times between booking and final service and she was always available with warmth and knowledge. Letting an aging pet go is heavy on the heart but the process was as calm and peaceful as it could be. My 14 yr old lab crossed the rainbow bridge comfortably at home surrounded by his family to include two canine buddies. There was no difficult travel to the vet or associated anxiety. A heartfelt Thank You to Dr. Perzak,💜
Dr Perzak was wonderful, and really helped us through this difficult time. She was very patient and caring, and we could take all the time needed to say our goodbyes to our sweet Max.
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. ❤️
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.
