Verified Veterinarian
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.

When I realized that it was time for my sweet Axle to cross the rainbow bridge I wanted to create a peaceful, calm setting in a familiar place surrounded by people and things he loved. I reached out to Coda Pet to schedule a consultation. Dr. Perzak was so helpful in explaining the process. She answered all of my many questions leading up to our appointment and even assisted me with moving up the initial appointment when Axle’s condition worsened. When she arrived at my home, we chatted and she examined my baby and loved on him as we spoke. She allowed me to tell her of our many adventures and special moments together over the past 15 years. She explained everything as she went along and there was never any rush. She gave us space and allowed all the time that we needed to say our goodbyes. Dr Perzak definitely has a gift for assisting pets and their families during this difficult time. I absolutely recommend in home euthanasia and Dr Perzak. She was amazing!
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
Last night Dr Perzak cane to my house and was outstanding to work with! She spent a few minutes sitting and speaking with me and petting my wonderful son before the procedure. Coda Pet and Dr P made this completely devastating time as simple and reassuring as possible.
Dr. Perzak was a calming presence during the euthanasia of my sweet puppy. She was professional and did not rush us through the process. As painful as this decision was for me, I'm glad we were able to do it in the comfort of our home where our pup could be relaxed and not anxious in her final moments.
When my 17-year-old little cat, Be’en, took a nosedive with his health one day not long ago, I was gutted, of course, but even more so at the thought of subjecting him to a trip to the vet. My vet kindly sent me a list of options for at-home euthanasia, and I was beyond relieved to find that Dr. Perzak was available later that afternoon. As Be’en and I waited for her, it was very clear that he was ready to go. Dr. P showed up exactly when she said she would and did everything possible to make both Be’en and me comfortable. Her warmth, understanding, and consideration for both of us touched me deeply, and I’m beyond grateful that she made it possible for me to give Be’en this last gift of a quiet passing at home, in his bed, in my arms. Thank you, Dr. P.
Dr Perzak was kind compassionate and extremely patient with me at home as I said goodbye to my beloved dog Pawleys as she crossed over to the rainbow bridge
