Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
I believe precious memories with your pet should never be overshadowed by a stressful goodbye. I have firsthand experience with the stress of saying goodbye to my first dog, Willy, at the clinic, and since then being able to say goodbye to two other dogs at home. This is why a peaceful passing at home is so important to me.

What pet parents are saying
Dr Gary offered comfort, professionalism, and expertise at a time of sadness. He understands how people love their pets and how the process of ending their suffering is heartbreaking.
Dr. Gary Hsia was just what we needed and wanted. Letting go of my very fragile, old soul cat was pure heart break. Dr. Gary was gentle and respectful with my Kiko. I’m so grateful.
Dr. Gary has helped me with 2 old dogs. Both times he impressed me with his calm, confident demeanor and genuine kindness. I highly recommend Dr. Gary.
Dr Gary was so gentle and loving. He was thorough in explaining what was going to happen and gave me choices for the procedure. He was very patient and slow. My kitty was able to fall asleep in my arms. For what was happening Dr. Gary gave me a beautiful gift of love. Thank you so very much. I highly recommend Codapet. So much better at home.
We recently used Dr. Gary to bid farewell to my beloved dog, Monkey. This dog was THE best dog (everyone says it and everyone is right). He saw me through every moment of my adult life- joy, trauma, sickness, and grief- and I was adamant that he have the best possible experience to cross the rainbow bridge. He deserved the world and more, so in my soul I felt certain that in home euthanasia would be the best option for his comfort. I underestimated what a truly peaceful, stress-free experience it would be. Dr. Gary was incredibly kind, patient, and professional, and truly cared for Monkey’s comfort from beginning to end. Opting to put Monkey down in the comfort of his home and his mama’s lap alleviated so much anxiety for our dog, and for each member of our family. Dr. Bethany was equally lovely to work with when she returned our boy’s ashes to us. I would recommend this service, and Dr. Gary and Dr. Bethany, to anyone who has to make the gut-wrenching decision to bid farewell to their pet.
We opted with home euthanasia and was not disappointed at all. From the beginning to end, Dr Gary was very professional, very kind and very supportive through this difficult decision. He sat on the floor where our dog was and proceeded the procedure where our dog was not comfortable. Dr Gary gave stepped outside to give us time to grieve. I definitely would recommend him!
