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 very compassionate and considerate during a difficult time. She was incredibly patient and respectful. We are thankful to have met a kind soul to bring our dog over the rainbow bridge.
My little girl had a stroke or something and could not get up on her own or walk more than a few steps without falling. Since she was always scared and shaking at the vet we decided on in home euthanasia. I called Codapet and scheduled the appointment. The lovely young vet came to our home, tsked to us about Sugars condition. She reassured us that Sugar was in pain as she was crying alot. The vet gave her a tranquilizing shot and she went into a peaceful sleep, then administered the medication that stopped her heart. She then examined her for heartbeat or pulse to make sure it was final and left the room for us to have a private moment with our dog. She came back with a small gurney, wrapped Sugar gently in s blanket and placed her on the gurney to take her away for cremation. The whole process was very dignified and although we were grieving , we were glad she was no longer in pain. I highly recommend it for those who want a peaceful passing of their pet in the comfort and security of their own home.
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 the best. It’s heartbreaking to make the decision to end your pets suffering but I highly recommend at home euthanasia. She made it an experience we will never forget. I have already given a few friends the information as they also have senior pets. Thank you Dr Erin for your professionalism and kindness at that difficult time.
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 .
Dr. Erin was just what the doctor ordered. Calm, unhurried and patient , she provided exactly what we’d hoped for in choosing at home euthanasia. Still sad but without all the stress of the in office experience. Thank you.
