Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

Growing up as an animal lover, I always saw myself being a veterinarian. Early in my career I realized that veterinary medicine is more than just animals, it's about the people connected to the animals. As friends, family, and neighbors have increasingly asked for my advice and help in guiding them through end-of-life decisions for their pets, I realized there was a great need for the support that in-home euthanasia can provide. I feel privileged to be able to serve my community in this way.

What pet parents are saying

I really dont think I could have asked for a better experience to help my family through this time. Dr Glenn Jackson was a blessing. He was soft spoken, heartfelt, and made everyone feel comforted while he helped us say goodbye to our 23 year old cat. My children were able to experience this necessary life lesson with Dr Jackson's support and step by step talk through of everything he did with Dax's (our cat) transition into death. If you have the unfortunate need for their services then Dr Glenn Jackson will be the angel you need in that tough time.

What a beautiful experience Dr. Glenn brought us, in a very sad moment, when we chose to have our almost 20-year-old cat euthanized at home. As seniors, with an old cat who never liked to go to the vet, we did not want to traumatize the kitty or ourselves with such a trip. First, it was a relief that an in-home pet euthanization could be done. Second, Dr. Glenn was a wonderful person to help us and our cat through this difficult time. His calm, quiet, empathetic manner was a blessing. He carefully explained everything that he was going to do, told us how the cat should respond to each step, and answered every question we had with professionalism and understanding, but also with caring. My wife got to hold the cat, in comfortable, familiar surroundings, while he was tranquillized, and then got the drug “cocktail” that euthanasia involves. Whiskers slipped very peacefully away. We were relieved that he was no longer in any discomfort. It was a very close and touching moment that Dr. Glenn helped us through. Our final moments with our beloved pet assured us that we had done the right thing. For your pet’s comfort and your peace of mind, have no doubt that CodaPet’s program is an excellent choice.

Dr. Jackson was kind, gentle and conscientious. He entered our home calmly and quietly and with respect. He even went the extra distance to bring us our beloved dog’s ashes. I highly recommend him. I said to him, “It must be hard to do this job.” He said, “It is an honor and a calling.” Dr. Jackson’s manner was caring to my family and my dog, Phoebe. He made an awful experience bearable.

Dr. Jackson is compassionate and thoughtful. It is difficult to say goodbye to a beloved family pet, but doing it at home with a caring professional made it a bit easier. Thank you, Dr. Jackson.

Review by Dr. Glenn Jackson

For such a horrible situation, Dr. Jackson was very patient and let my family direct where we wanted to complete the process. Overall, I genuinely believe our girl was much more comfortable than she would have been in an office setting and she didn't seem anxious or in any pain with the help of the pre-medication. Although I hope to never have to do this again, I would repeat this process rather than go into a veterinarian office. Thank you Dr. Jackson for helping our girl finally be comfortable again.
