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
Making the choice to do at home pet euthanasia was incredibly difficult; having to choose to say goodbye to my dog was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do, but CodaPet made the whole process smooth and comforting for not just our Red but for our whole family as well. Dr.Gary was incredibly kind and compassionate, explaining the process thoroughly and giving us however much time we needed to send Red off. We were able to shower him with love and hold him in his final moments. We miss him so much, but I am certain he is truly at peace. Thank you so much to Dr.Gary and CodaPet.
From the very first call to Codapet I could not believe how professional these people are. They walked me and my wife through every step of the process and gave us the support and confidence we were doing the best for our family companion Jade. Dr. Gary was very caring and we felt that he treated Jade as if she was his own. Dr. Gary was scheduled to be at our home at 5pm. He also called about 4 hrs earlier to see if Jade was in a lot of pain as he offered a sooner appointment if we wanted it. He was right on time and did not rush the process or act like he had other places to be. Along with Jade, Codapet and Dr. Gary, you will always be remembered in our home and hearts. Thankyou.
Dr Gary was so kind and gentle with our sweet Lola. From the moment he came to our front door, he made sure we knew he was there for as long as we needed him to be. Never in a hurry, Dr Gary allowed us to spend as much time as we needed to comfort our baby and love on her. The manner in which he delivered his care was professional and dignified. We definitely recommend home euthanasia, because although difficult for us to say our last goodbyes, Lola had us with her for her last breath. In her bed, in her home. We received emails and texts for a few days after from Codapet and that really helped us with the grieving process.
Very friendly. Was patient and considerate about the situation. He was very easy to talk to and answered my questions. 10/10 would recommend to anyone else needed the same service.
This is the second time we’ve used CodaPet and both experiences were amazing! Dr Gary was so sweet and kind, explained the process well and you truly feel his compassion! I recommend them every time!
I highly recommend Dr. Hsia. He is compassionate and caring. He helped us with the process. It was a better experience than going to a local clinic. We are very grateful to him. Thank you so much.
Dr Gary was so compassionate and understanding. He communicated and really empathized with us. Although it was a hard situation, it brought great comfort and peace the way it was handled and the care and loving tokens of sympathy and remembrance of Brownie that he and Four Creeks Pet Crematorium gave us.
Dr Gary was knowledgeable, kind, and compassionate. Words can't express the comfort we felt being at home with our dog after making this tough decision.
Dr. Gary Hsia was very accommodating with his time and although it was a hard day for our family, he made the experience a lot easier. Thank you very much Dr. Gary.
This was our first time with peaceful passing & I would definitely recommend. It's never easy saying goodbye. Dr. Gary is very kind with a gentle soul. He gave our family compassion and respect. Super amazing! I would love to be able to call him our primary vet.
Dr. Hsia was very kind and gentle with our beloved Jeffrey. I couldn’t not have asked for such an incredibly sad and emotional experience to have gone any better. He explained everything thoroughly and made us feel very comfortable with the process. It truly was a peaceful passing at home. I’m so grateful we were able to do this for Jeffrey and not have to drive him back to the pet hospital. I would highly recommend him to anyone in the same situation.
Dr. Gary is patient, kind, professional and caring. I wish I knew about these home services or had access in the past. It may be more expensive, but for us, not putting our dog through the anxiety of going to the vet office and waiting long hours, especially during these times, was worth it’s weight in gold. I work with dogs for a living and I cannot say enough about this company, how they handle things, their response time, accessibility etc. Thank you for your services.
Dr. Hsia was so compassionate and made the experience of losing my 15 year old fur baby as painless as possible. I highly recommend him.
It was the most loving and peaceful way to allow beloved pet to pass. We appreciate the kindness and care our vet shared with us as we were going through the whole process.
This is the second time I used Peaceful Passing aka CodaPet. It was a much better experience euthanizing our beloved pets at home. The doctor was so kind.
Dr. Gary Hsia was extremely hands on with us. Our girl was young and initially he gave us some dietary and medical assistance to try and alleviate her struggle somewhat and prolong her life. He even went into my pantry and helped me with her dietary requirements. In spite of this follow through not helping her circumstances, I appreciate that he gave me an opportunity to truly say I had tried everything and that putting her down was the correct thing to do. When he returned on his next visit. He was calm; spoke soothingly (out of respect for my girl.) Made sure she was lying comfortably and gave us time to say goodbye. He was well prepared for every step of the procedure. The aftercare has also been fantastic. We received a beautiful card from him and the overall communication through texting has been very good. I am so glad that my girl got to spend her last minutes around people at home and with a doctor who cared.
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.
Would highly recommend this service! Dr Gary was so calm and caring. Took his time with both the 2 and 4 legged patients. Explained every step so no supprises. The absolute most humane and beautiful experience you can provide for your beloved pet for their last moments. Truly a gift of peace for everyone involved. Thank you Dr Gary!
Dr. Gary Hsia showed empathy and compassion when we had to make the heartbreaking decision of putting our 13-year old pug out of his pain/suffering from cancer. Dr. Hsia handled Rocky with much care and attention to his every detail and need. The experience of being able to provide love and comfort for Rocky in his own home by utilizing this method made this already difficult experience of his passing, just a little bearable. The card and the delivery of Rocky's remains made it personal. - Thank you Dr. Hsia (and Bethany) - Jodi W.
Dr Gary was very responsive, yet respectful during this challenging time when Finn required euthanasia. This was our second time in a couple years we have gone this route to prevent suffering and Dr Gary was able to explain everything and take of everything so we could just focus on make Finn comfortable as possible.♥️
Our vet was very patient and calm. He was soft spoken and kind. He guided us through every step of the process. In the end our dogs ashes were returned to us and we appreciated his services.
Dr Gary was amazing during a very sad time for us. He was compassionate and caring. He gave us as much time as we needed to say goodbye to our Sniper. I would highly recommend using Dr Gary if you are having to say goodbye to your pet.
Dr. Hsia was very professional and gentle with our Lola. He made the experience very easy for our family. His patience with our pet and allowing the kids time with her made it so much easier. He has a calming presence that makes a difficult process easier to handle. He was a great match for us and our pet.
This is our second time using Coda Pet. When the difficult decision was made that our senior dog needed to be put down to rest we turned to Dr. Gary once again. He is the most gentle, kind and compassionate veterinarian. Our children were present and allowed to snuggle, comfort and say their goodbyes to our fur baby. We truly could ask for a better experience
It was a heart breaking decision to put down our sweet cat. She had lymphoma and 17 years old. We made an appointment with Dr Gary. But Dee's condition got worse every soon. Dr Gary managed to give us Ann emergency appointment and ended Dee's pain. We appreciated his help. Otherwise it would be a suffering night for both her and us.
It is always difficult to say your final goodbye to your Fur Baby. Having CodaPet send a Vet to our home to assist in the peaceful passing of our precious baby made the painful experience of our loss comforting. The Vet was very compassionate, thoughtful and kind with my fur baby and my family including my other dog during the entire process. My Fur Baby was very comfortable throughout the entire process and just peacefully went to sleep while cuddled up next to me. After his passing, we were given private alone time to say our final good byes. He then was gently wrapped in a blanket and placed into basket and taken away for cremation. I felt comforted knowing that he was no longer in pain and passed so peacefully. My family felt so blessed to have a compassionate service come to our home so we could say our final goodbyes in privacy. I will always be thankful for CodaPet.
Very kind, patient and knowledgeable. I like that he engaged with my dog Bella during her last hour and spoke to her making her feel happy and comfortable. He gave us as much time as we needed, reassuring that there’s no rush at all. I’d recommend this option for home euthanasia with Dr. Hsia to anyone, he made it as pleasant as possible.
Dr.Gary is an amazing human being--Everything went so well -So quickly and smoothly and I am so grateful for that!I still feel so sad but I know Gracie is in a better place with nor pain!Love her forever and Thank you so very much for your support and service.God bless everyone!🙏
Dr. Gary was so kind, compassionate, and patient with us throughout the entire process. I am so glad we chose to utilize Dr. Gary and allow our family dog to enjoy his last rest where he was most comfortable, surrounded by all those who were impacted by him. I would recommend this route to all pet owners who are faced with having to make this difficult decision.
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. Hsia, he was very patient with us during this difficult time, he truly cares about your loved fur babies. His compassion and kindness through the process made us feel comfortable that we made the right decision to go with Codapet. He followed up on us and delivered our Foxy with care and compassion truly appreciated him for all he did to make our Foxy comfortable during her last minutes with us.
Dr. Gaery was very helpful and supportive in this stressful event. He allowed me to spend my last moments with Jet in a very compassionate good by.
Dr. Gary was our vet for two of our dogs over the last six months. His kindness and ability to calm even an excitable little dog was a true blessing for us. He helped to create a beautiful passing, and their follow up with returning the ashes was also so respectful and kind. I have already recommended them too many friends for their future needs.
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.
Dr. Gary was very compassionate and patient with our family in this emotional season of our lives. We thank you and your wife for everything. God bless
Dr. Hsia was a calming and considerate presence during such a difficult time. He went over each step and waited for consent before moving on. All of which was much appreciated
Dr. Gary was very kind, compassionate and very caring in such a heartbreaking time of my life. Him and his wife were both very supportive and caring during my whole process of losing my Holly pup. I can’t thank them enough for the kind work they did for me and all the other families they help.
I want to thank Dr. Gary Hsia and CodaPet for their kindness and professionalism with helping me through the passing of my beloved little dog, Miley. Dr. Gary was so kind and sensitive to my needs and wishes in the transitioning of Miley. He understood my sorrow and took extra care in taking me through the process. I truly recommend CodaPet with the home care and handling of our beloved pets. Respectfully, Jean Caiazza
We appreciated Dr. Gary's support as we had been second guessing ourselves about the timing of the decision to use Coda Pet. A close friend had also used Coda Pet and they were recommended.
As difficult as the process of putting your pet down is, Dr. Gary made the process much easier. He was so kind and compassionate with us and our dog. You can tell he really cares about animals immensely. Being able to be there with our dog in our home where he is most comfortable was the silver lining of an awful situation. He was so much more comfortable than if we had taken him to a vet’s office. If I ever have to do this again, I would use Coda and Dr. Gary again.
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.
Thank You, Dr. Gary Saying goodbye to my 15-year-old dog, Kona, was incredibly hard, but I’m so grateful Dr. Gary was there for us. He handled everything with compassion, patience, and true care—for Kona and for my family. He made sure the process was peaceful and gave us the time and space we needed. Dr. Gary’s empathy made a painful moment a little more bearable. I’ll always appreciate the respect and kindness he showed during Kona’s final moments. If you’re looking for a vet who truly cares, we can’t recommend him enough.
Dr Hsia is a true professional and a very kind person, he was very patient and considerate. It was a sad day but necessary Dr Hsia is a good man and I’m grateful to have met him when we needed him most.
We lost 3 pets within 1 year. There is a reason we keep calling Dr Gary Hsia. He is patient and respectful. His services allowed our pets to be where they were most comfortable in their last moments.
Dr. Gary was so very kind and compassionate. We got to be with our cat, Daisy, in one of her favorite spots of our home. Dr. Gary gave took us through the process, then gave us the time we needed with Daisy before he administered the sedative, then again before he administered the final shot, and after. We got to cuddle with her the whole time. He took Daisy's body away and his wife returned with her ashes. The company that they work with included two river rocks with Daisy's name on them that were with her when she was cremated and are a perfect size to hold in your hand. We also got the keepsake of Daisy's paw in clay, which was very nicely done, however we wouldn't get that again as it doesn't look like her paw to us (due to the nature of how much bigger a paw looks when pressed into clay). We liked the inked paw prints on a card that Daisy and I made together the day before. We very much appreciate how patient, kind, and compassionate Dr. Gary was and that this service was available for our beloved cat.
Dr. Gary was very patient and understanding during the entire appointment. He made sure to answer any questions we had and created a safe and comfortable environment.
I am crying as I write this, mostly sadness but joy at the same time because I'm reunited with my best friend ❤️🐾 Bella live a very long happy life of 17 years. Towards the end it was a very difficult decision, as it should be but I believe i believe it was for the best and boy did we get some good times in. Dr. Gary Hsia was amazing from when the decision had to be made to him reuniting us together. He was so very compassionate and noligable on Bella's needs and I can not tell you enough sincere . He let me be with her and gave space to grieve with her. It was a true blessing to be with my baby girl at the end in a comfortable environment. I didn't know this type of way was possible and I'm so glad we found Dr. Hsia . Me and Bella appreciate you very much! With love, and again thank you so much Gary and Bethany ! ❤️🐾
Dr Gary was so patient and empathetic during the difficult decision to let our Cooper go. It couldn’t have been more peaceful. Thank you.
Deciding to have my cat euthanized at home instead of bringing him to a clinic was a very positive and peaceful experience during a sad and difficult time. I'm very grateful to Dr. Gary for his caring and gentle approach he provided my cat. Dr. Gary explained the process and answered my questions with heartfelt patience. He provided me the time and space I need to say my good byes. This experience was less stressful for both myself and my cat than having to go to a clinic. I will definitely use Dr. Gary's services again if and when needed in the future.
Dr. Gary was very empathic and understanding when he helped our beloved Jackson find peace. He helped us during a very challenging time.
Very polite.we were very comfortable with the way he treated Lola. We are spreading the word about Dr. Gary and CodaPet. Thank you, Joe Cornish
I cannot say enough positive praise to Dr. Gary. He made time, showed all the care and compassion during an extremely difficult time. Not only that but showed the most love and sensitivity to my pet during this time of his passing. I know this cannot be easy on Dr. Gary however, the amount of heart, patience and knowledge was more than felt. A pets passing is an emotional time however handling it with the love and care along with professionalism with the upmost concern for the 4 legged family member will forever be appreciated by me and family. When faced with a difficult choice, having Dr. Gary and The peace at home will always be recommended by me. Thank you Dr. Gary with all my heart.
Dr. Gary is very caring and he understands the hurt we're going through. He was so gentle and sweet to our Louie and Mya. Just a truly caring Dr.
Dr. Hsia was amazing. He asked questions and evaluated our dog to confirm she was ready to go. He was patient, kind and clearly cared about our pet. He gave us and our other dogs time with her before and after, and showed great care when he took her with him. About a week later he brought us a beautiful box with her ashes. Was such a relief to have her comfortable at home with her family around and not have to go back to the vet office. Thank you!!
We appreciate the timely visit for our Chico. The office personnel was so helpful and caring. Our veterinarian, Dr. Gary Hsia made our dear Chico's transition with peaceful compassion to the other side. Our family is beyond grateful for his kind and thoughtful words. Chico's wooden photo box and 👣 footprint gave us comfort knowing he was treated with the utmost respect. The name stones were a nice touch, too.
Dr. Gary was extremely compassionate and gentle. He explained everything to us and gave us the time we needed to process the information and make decisions that we were comfortable with.
I recently had to make the very painful decision to choose in home pet euthanasia for my beautiful black lab. Cancer is a total train wreck of a disease, and my dog was in horrendous pain. Dr. Gary was the most calm and collected person. He took the time to explain the process, and to help with simple better care options/advice during my dog's last days. The process was quick, but not rushed. Dr. Gary was kind and gave my family plenty of time and space to process what was happening. As much as I wish this service was never needed, Codapet has found the way to make this horrible process a little easier, and I appreciate them for doing so. Thank you Dr. Gary and Codapet
I appreciate the compassion and professionalism he gave,he helped making a difficult decision less painful for me and he provided Ruby a peaceful passing......thank you very much
I cannot express enough gratitude for the care and compassion shown by Dr. Gary Hsia during one of the most difficult moments. From the very beginning, communication was excellent—he responded quickly when I needed to move up my appointment and made the process smooth and stress-free. Dr. Hsia was incredibly professional, offering clear and gentle explanations throughout the euthanasia process in a way that my grieving mind could truly understand and process. But more than anything, I would give 10 out of 5 stars for his genuine care—not just for my beloved cat, but for me as well. His presence was calm, kind, and comforting, and I felt fully supported every step of the way. The online scheduling system was also incredibly easy to use, which made everything more manageable during such an emotional time. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I couldn't have asked for a better experience under such heartbreaking circumstances.
Dr. Gary was so kind and professional. He answered all questions, explained the process and was very gentle with not only our dog but in moving us through this difficult process. I highly recommend him and Codapet
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 was so kind and patient with us. Having To let go of our 18 year old baby girl was hard, but the process was very peaceful. Thank you Dr. Gary.
Dr. Hsia was excellent in the delicate service rendered.... his compassion, explanation, sincerity, comforted us in this difficult time. Thank you to Dr. Hsia.
I learned about Dr. Gary through the many glowing comments on Nextdoor. This was my first time having to make a decision to have my dog euthanized and I couldn’t have made a better choice than Dr. Gary. His professionalism and compassion will never be forgotten.
Dr. Hsia was absolutely amazing. He was empathetic and so understanding during the whole process. He gave us all the time we needed and wanted. I was able to take nose and paw prints and he was just so communicative and caring. Literally exceeded our expectations and then some. I am so grateful for Dr. Hsia and being able to share those final loving moments with our Biscuit. Can’t thank you enough.
Dr. Hsia was very kind and helpful on this day. Although he didn’t euthanize our pet, he certainly had everyone’s best interests in mind.
Dr Gary Hsia was very respectful and compassionate. The loss of a fur baby is difficult but when you have a caring Dr it makes all the difference. Thank you Dr Hsia!
It’s always hard making the decision to put down your dog. Unfortunately this wasn’t my first time. Normally I also do not write reviews but my experience with Dr. Hsia will be a lasting one. Macy our 12 year old family dog got to eat scrambled eggs for breakfast and steak for lunch. All 3 of our other dogs got to lay next to her as the doctor did his thing. It was a very beautiful experience for the whole family. Thank you Dr. Hsia
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!
Dr. Gary was just who we needed in our hardest time. He answered all questions and reassured us through the entire process while comforting our sorrow. The hardest part of being a pet owner is knowing when to say goodbye. And Dr. Gary made that transition for our beloved dog Cash as well as it could be. I’m thankful to be able to be by his side reminding him how much he was loved and how much he meant to our entire family during his peaceful passing in my arms. Just over the rainbow and forever in my heart, rest in peace Cash Michael.
Dr. Gary was wonderful at a time that was so very hard. I didn’t want my cat’s last memories to be at the vet clinic. He was extremely kind and professional. The process was perfect and never rushed, he gave the first injection (sedative) quickly that my cat barely even noticed. I highly recommend Dr. Gary for when the time comes you have to make the hardest decision to let your pet rest peacefully.
Dr. Gary was the best! He was very kind and gentle and didn’t rush anything. We greatly appreciate him and would definitely recommend him.
Dr Gary was amazing. His vibe was great from the start. We had our Kota Bear for 9 years and he was my baby! But having a Dr that is so calm and sweet made my whole family feel better about this awful situation. I was so happy to be able to do this at home. It was so much better for my Kota Bear. Thank you so much. I will always be grateful to Dr Gary. I would recommend you guys to everyone! ❤️
Dr Gary Hsai was very compassionate, sympathetic and empathic. His bedside manner was phenomenal and made everyone comfortable during this difficult process. While I don’t wish anyone to have to go through this, he made it as least unpleasant as it could be for our pet of 15.5 years. Thank you very much Dr. Gary!
Dr. Gary was amazing, he was so kind and gentle with our sweet Gracie. We honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience at such a difficult time. 100% recommend Dr. Gary and his wife.
As our large breed dog entered his senior years we knew when the day came we wanted an at home euthanasia option. The day came where he could not get up on his own so we reached out to Dr. Gary. Dr. Gary was professional, patient, and considerate the entire way through. He discussed my dog's health with great care. He never once rushed any step of the process, allowing me to decide when I was ready for the next step. Letting our dog go was the most painful thing I have ever had to do, but with the aid of Dr. Gary I believe it was a gift to our sweet boy. He was home, in his bed, with his toys, cuddled up with mom.
Dr. Hsia was fantastic. When my dog was in distress he was calm, compassionate, and professional which helped me through one of the toughest days I've had.
From the very beginning dr. Gary was very sympathetic and showed us that he really cared. It was so hard having to make that decision to have our girl put down and he gave us all the time in the world and made us feel better about the whole process. He took the time to send us a card as well after and it really made us feel better.
Dr Gary Hsia does not treat his work as a career, but rather as a calling. His sensitivity and compassion eased the pain of saying goodbye to my beloved cat. He was a blessing on my worst day.
Dr. Gary H was highly knowledgeable about Sam's condition and assured me I was doing the right thing. I will ALWAYS use your services in the future. I felt good knowing he left so peacefully
Dr. Gary Hsia was truly amazing! I had to make the heartbreaking decision to let my Milo go. Making that decision was one of the hardest things I had to do. I knew that I wanted her to make her journey over the rainbow bridge here at home. Dr. Gary was patient and very empathetic to what our family was going through. He explained every step of the process and let us take as much time as we needed to say our final goodbyes. I would recommend him to everyone. I would give him 10 stars if I could. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
One of the biggest decisions in life is letting your pet go. We discovered having a compassionate vet come to our home was our best decision. During this very stressful time it help to have a vet that have us time to grieve and was very professional and caring person.
I cannot say enough complementary things about Dr. Gary. He was so compassionate, considerate, patient, and very loving to my little girl. Continually, he told me to feel free to take all of the time that I needed with her last moments with me. I was very grateful to have a vet that seems so thoughtful during the process. Bless you, Dr. Gary you are a godsend.
Dr. Gary was so kind, patient and considerate in discussing our sweet Zoey's (15 years) medical situation, answering questions and helping me to arrive at the most devastating but kindest decision for her. I am so very grateful that she was able to pass peaceably at home with me at her side. Dr. Gary also made time to hand-deliver Zoey's cremains to our family, giving us some comfort and closure. Thank you so much, Dr. Gary.
Dr. Gary Hsia showed care, patience, sympathy, compassion, and support, in his life care for our beloved 14yr old chow-chow. We are beyond appreciative of Dr. Gary Hsia’ efforts & highly recommend Dr. Gary Hsia for your difficult decisions regarding your pet family member.
Dr. Gary is by far the best choice for in home pet euthanasia. We’ve trusted Dr. Gary with the care of all three of our pug babies over the years. He is very compassionate and shows so much care and respect. In a time that’s beyond difficult we were thankful to have such a thoughtful and empathetic doctor. Thank you! Renée and Megan Cable
Dr Gary was kind, caring, compassionate and patient. He answered all our questions and gave our family time to process the loss of our sweet girl. As heartbreaking as it was to say goodbye to our fur family member, Dr. Gary made it a calm and peaceful experience.
Dr Gary was very personable, compassionate, and professional. He genuinely cared about our needs with our sweet Molly and carried them out with the utmost care.
Dr Gary Hsia was very mindful of our loss, very efficient and explained the steps very well. He gave us time to say goodbye to our Abbey.
Dr. Hsia made a very difficult situation much easier. I would highly recommend their services. I researched price and their at home service was comparable to a veterinarian's office. My dog didn't like going to the vet, so I didn't want to subject him to that stress. I was so pleased with Dr. Hsia and his wife Dr. Bethany Hsia. They were kind, compassionate and very thoughtful during this difficult time for my family.
If you’re considering in-home euthanasia, Dr. Gary Hsia is the person you want by your side. I had to say goodbye to my Great Dane — my lifelong best friend — and I truly couldn’t have asked for a more compassionate, peaceful experience. Dr. Hsia’s empathy was immediate and genuine. He walked into my home with calm, care, and deep respect for the bond I had with my dog. He didn’t rush anything. He gave us space, time, and dignity. The entire process felt gentle and sacred, which is exactly what my best friend deserved after a lifetime of unconditional love. If you’re facing this heartbreaking decision, know that it can be peaceful — and Dr. Hsia made that possible. I wouldn’t do it any other way. Forever grateful, —Erica
They were caring and gentle with our dog and informative, caring and understanding with us. Our dog went peacefully at our home and I recommend their services.
I've had many many pets in my lifetime. This is the first time I experienced saying goodbye in the comfort of my home. I would never choose to do it any other way again. Dr. Hsia is compassionate, kind and highly professional. My little girl Lottie lived a long life at 17+ yrs of age. I absolutely love my personal Vet, but I didn't want Lottie's last hours to be a car drive across town and waiting in a busy office to be seen. I am grateful for CodaPet and Dr. Hsia.
We had to have our 17 year old cat put to sleep and contacted Dr. Hsia. He was wonderful with her and with us. He took his time, making sure she was comfortable and free from pain and he spoke to her in a very kind voice. We will definitely use Dr Hsia in the future and highly recommend him to anyone looking for home euthanasia for their pet.
I was impressed with the ease and flexibility of scheduling and more importantly, the kindness during that difficult time. Thank you Dr Gary
Dr. Hsia was so compassionate and caring to our family during the loss of our beloved dog Grace. It was such a difficult experience but he helped us through it and was patient and kind
Dr. Gary was the best. So compassionate. Such a difficult time for us. He was so understanding. It couldn’t have been a better experience for the worst situation.
On 5/7/25, our 13.5 year old Lab, Max was taking a turn for the worst, and began to suffer, after 5 days of unable to eat or drink on his own. We decided the most humane thing to do was to help Max pass on. After contacting other Vets we have worked with and unable to get anyone put to our house for at least over 24 hours, we found Dr. Gary on Codapet at 6:00 AM and he was able to come out at 10:00 AM. The scheduling processing online was easy and quick. Dr. Gary contacted us within couple hours to confirm the appointment. Dr. Gary arrived at our house early, and was professional and respectfully supportive. He took time to exam our boy Max and explain his assessment and the procedure to us. It was a difficult and emotional time for my wife and I, but Dr. Gary had really made it comforting and supportive for us. Dr. Gary demeanor was really of someone who cares for animals. Dr.Gary had provided us ample time to say goodbye to our beloved boy Max. Once we decided that is was time, Dr. Gary began the procedure. Max's pain eased quickly and easily. Max drifted into sleep, then passed on peacefully and quietly. Once Max passed on, Dr. Gary suggested that we bring our second dog, who we had kept at our neighbors house during Max's passing, back to the house to say goodbye to Max. Dr. Gary explained that it would help our second dog from any confusion, if he came home and suddenly his brother was no longer there. We thought the suggestion was very thoughtful and kind. We appreciate that very much. We have had other pets gone through euthanasia in the past at the vet office, but this at-home passing with the assistance of Dr. Gary was definitely most positive, peaceful, and kind! Euthanizing a loving pet is never an easy decision, but with this experience with Dr. Gary helping our beloved Max to pass so peacefully at home, we truly believed that it was the most loving and humane thing we could have done for our Max! Thank you Dr. Gary!
I was very appreciated for the prompt response and gentle care Dr Hsia provided. It was a peaceful experience and I’m so grateful we could lay my kitty to rest in our home.
Dr.Gary Hsia is amazing!!! He is so calm and very compassionate. He definitely has a huge heart for our little pet family. I recommend him 120%
Dr Gary is an exceptional provider, I highly recommend this at home service to anyone looking for an intimate way to say goodbye. Thank you so much
Very compassionate and professional. Outstanding experience I'm a difficult situation I have referred friends now to Codapet and adr Hsia
As our large breed dog entered his senior years we knew when the day came we wanted an at home euthanasia option. The day came where he could not get up on his own so we reached out to Dr. Gary. Dr. Gary was professional, patient, and considerate the entire way through. He discussed my dog's health with great care. He never once rushed any step of the process, allowing me to decide when I was ready for the next step. Letting our dog go was the most painful thing I have ever had to do, but with the aid of Dr. Gary I believe it was a gift to our sweet boy. He was home, in his bed, with his toys, cuddled up with mom.
Dr. Hsia was so kind, caring and gentle with me and my sweet cat Ginger, I miss her so much and it was so hard to know if it really was time but Dr.Hsia made the whole experience so beautiful I feel I made the right decision, it is truly a ministry that Dr.Hsia and all of you do. I am sharing the experience with so many friends. God bless you all. Sincerely, Janice
Dr. Gary was very compassionate during this difficult time. He explained the whole process. Gave us time to say our goodbyes. Also made sure our pet did suffer during the process of putting her to sleep. Can’t say enough kind words about Dr. Gary
Dr. Gary was kind, thoughtful, and patient. He was so gentle with our fragile senior dog, and really thought of everything to accommodate him and us. We are so grateful for Dr. Gary and CodaPet for going above and beyond during one of the most difficult times we’ve ever experienced.
Dr Hsia was very kind and accommodated our needs in a very tough situation. We were not only losing a pet but had just had a death in the family 2 days prior. He was respectful and very helpful. We truly appreciated his kindness.
Dr. Gary was so very compassionate and caring when it came time for us to say goodbye to our little man of 13 years! He was punctual and never rushed us through the process of Scout passing over to the other side…our hearts were breaking in a way I never thought it would and even though it’s only been 5 weeks it feels like yesterday that we had to make that decision for our scout boy!! We can’t thank Dr Gary and Dr Bethany enough for bringing scout to us when he was ready.
