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
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.
Dr Glenn Jackson was truly such a kind gentle person, I couldn’t have picked anyone better to help us through a terribly difficult time. Right off the get go made me and my partner feel comfortable with him. He went above and beyond and even sent us a kind card a few weeks after. I cannot recommend these services enough. Thank you!
Our first contact with CODAPET and subsequent interaction with Dr. Jackson was a phenomenal experience under very stressful circumstances. Dr. Jackson respectfully and patiently explained things and answered our questions. Dr. Jackson was compassionate, caring and calming, towards us and our Sheba. We thank Dr. Jackson and will never forget him.
Dr Glenn Jackson was absolutely wonderful; he was so gentle and caring with our Coco (German Shepherd). He even arrived early as she was starting to decline. It was very apparent that he is a very caring individual. We appreciate his kindness!
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 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.
