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
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.
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 couldn’t have been more kind, compassionate, caring and gentle with us and our pup. This has undoubtedly been one of the biggest losses and most traumatic choices I have ever had to make, however, Dr. Erin’s professionalism and grace made our experience one where we felt safe in our grief and knowing our boy wasn’t in pain as he passed. Eternally grateful. Thank you.
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.
Dr. Erin was very kind and compassionate. Obviously, putting a beloved pet down is not an easy decision but the process was straightforward. I was very glad I did not have to subject my 20 year old cat to a car ride or vet’s office and that I was able to grieve privately.
Dr Scaglione allowed us to be able to say goodbye to Beau without adding anything to the situation. Her presence was a quiet comfort.Her gentle and thoughtful approach to the process allowed us to focus on Beau and nothing else . She was prepared and reassuring that we were making the right decision .
