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

Recently, I had to put my daughter's dear duck (Omelet) down. My daughter was abroad, and I had never put an animal down before. Omelet was the last surviving duck of our flock of four. She was 12 years old - a deeply loved pet, who returned our love each and every day. This was very difficult for me. Dr. Glenn Jackson came to my house, and I am so glad that I found him on this website. I cannot imagine anyone being more compassionate, kind and caring. I shared some stories about Omelet, which he clearly enjoyed hearing, before he gently explained the process. Omelet seemed to know what was coming, and she was remarkably calm and ready. I held her the whole time with Yo-o Ma's "The Swan" softly playing in the background (which she loved). Dr. Jackson even hit "play" on the music for me while I was holding her. He described each step so clearly in advance, and with such gentle reassurance. Omelet never once displayed fear, never tried to squirm out of my arms, and never cried out. She just gently passed away in my arms. I cannot imagine a more beautiful and meaningful experience. I will always be eternally grateful to Dr. Jackson.

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.

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 an incredibly compassionate human being and I'm so very grateful for him and everyone at CodaPet. Not only did he drive quite literally hours away to help us when no one else nearby had time to do so, he could not have been more kind. When he arrived for my sweet elderly kitty's euthanasia appointment, he saw me kneeling by the couch holding my baby, and immediately met me where I was and knelt down with me. He did a thorough exam and let me know he agreed that this was the right choice for my boy. He was sympathetic as I cried my heart out, and didn't rush me to move forward even though it was late in the evening. He made it possible for me to give my sweetheart the most peaceful passing in a place he loved, surrounded by people who loved him. Afterward, I even got the sweetest handwritten sympathy card. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Jackson and this group of folks. Thank you so very much, from the bottom of my heart.
