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. Deborah made a difficult situation very comfortable for our pet Ruby and us as well. I would not have guessed that my wife would witness the proceedings, but it helped that she was there by her side and experience the compassion of the moment. A very special and fitting end to a life.

I requested an urgent visit from Dr. Perzak on a Friday. Her day was full but she was kind enough to come at 7:30 at night. Unfortunately this was the second time we needed her this year. I knew I wanted her to be the one to take care of our sweet Rocky. She is amazing! Kind, compassionate and took excellent care of our dog and my family. I do not have the appropriate words to express my gratitude!!!

Review by Dr. Deborah Perzak

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,💜

The day my dog passed was the hardest day, I lost my best friend of 14 years. Despite the circumstance, Dr Perzak was so kind. So patient. So thoughtful. Thinking of that day still brings tears to my eyes on regular basis, but I am thankful that the person who came to my home was so informative, comforting, and compassionate. Thank you Dr Perzak for loving on my baby boy before he left

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.
