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.

My cat Gypsy wandered into our lives and hearts 12 years ago. She was moody and bossy at times but knew how to always make us feel better when we were having a bad day. Her favorite spot was anywhere I was, whether it be my lap or beside me on my desk while I work. CodaPet made my decision to put Gypsy at rest a little easier. It was simple to set up and Dr. Glenn Jackson was very kind, sincere and thoughtful during the whole process. I would recommend this service to anyone who has to make the decision to say goodbye to their beloved furry family member.

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.

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.

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.
