Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
I always knew that animals made such an impact on my heart and caring for them would have to a big part of my life. I followed that dream and became a veterinarian. It is such a privilege to be able to give a pet a peaceful passing and to help their people through that time. Doing this in the comfort of their own home makes it even more special.

What pet parents are saying
Dr. Erin was absolutely incredible during the most heartbreaking moment of our lives. From the moment she arrived, she treated Skywalker with such gentleness and respect and she spoke to us with kindness and compassion every step of the way. She took the time to ask about his life, his favorite things and his journey with us. In such a difficult situation, I can’t imagine anyone being more understanding and caring than Dr. Erin. Thank you, Dr. Erin, for your professionalism, your warmth, and for that hug in the end when we needed it most.
Dr. Erin Scaglione was very sympathetic to my emotions and made the process of saying goodbye to my pet a very comfortable experience. I am very grateful for this in home service she offered us.
We made the difficult choice to say goodbye to our 15-year-old cat Leo who had developed an aggressive cancer, and I'm so glad we went with Coda and Dr. Erin. I began looking into at-home pet euthanasia options when Leo's health took a turn. Traveling to the vet was always a stressful experience for him, and that's not how I wanted his last moments to feel. Dr. Erin was unbelievably kind and compassionate, both toward Leo and us. She walked us through the process of sedation and then the final injection, helped us pick a comfortable location, gave Leo some final treats, and then began the process. It was very quick - only a few minutes - but it was peaceful, exactly the experience we wanted for our little guy. After Leo passed, Dr. Erin gave us some time alone to say goodbye. She then wrapped him in a blanket within a basket and carried him out, looking like he was taking a nice nap. I have absolutely no regrets and it made a challenging moment so much easier - I highly recommend this option and specifically Dr. Erin.
She was very compassionate with my best friend Mayhem. Having to lose him is hard enough, and having him treat with dignity and comfort was one less thing we had to worry about. I’m relieved it was done at home and not on a cold steel table at an animal hospital.
Casper was not letting anyone near him for 2 days. Erin arrived and he immediately took to her. After she relieved his pain (first shot), he started to finally take treats from my wife and my hand. It felt that he allowed us to say goodbye. I wish I could give her unlimited stars. She gave us the gift of reconnecting to Casper one last time.
Helping my fur baby cross the rainbow bridge was one of the most difficult, gut wrenching choices I had to make. With the help of Dr Erin Scaglione and CodaPet, they made this day as comfortable as possible not only for me and my family, but for my sweet beautiful boy Harley. Harley was 11 years old, and in recent months his health started declining and I knew I would need to make a very difficult choice soon. I reached out to several veterinarians, inquiring about in-home euthanization and to gather as much information as I could, to try and prepare myself, but to be honest, you are never ready for this. CodaPet took the time to explain all the options, and showed extreme compassion, taking the time to explain everything and answer all the questions I had. I wanted Harley to be as comfortable as possible, in a surrounding he was most familiar with, with the people that loved him, I knew In home euthanization was the BEST option. Dr Erin was so caring and compassionate when she arrived, especially to my sweet boy. At that point I knew we were in good hands. Knowing that Harley is no longer in pain and that he is at peace, makes it a little less painful. We hold the beautiful memories of Harley very close to our heart, we miss him and love him very much.🐾🌈❤️
