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

Dr. Glenn Jackson was caring, knowledgeable and respectful in helping our very sick kitty have final peace from her pain. He focused on her and responded quickly to ensure her continued peaceful passing. Throughout, from euthanasia to returning her ashes, he was available and compassionate. As a family, we appreciate Dr. Jackson and his help during this very painful time.

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!

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.

Review by Dr. Glenn Jackson

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 is an outstanding human and helped provide for a loving, peaceful, transition for our beloved dog. He was patient, kind, explained every step, paused if we needed a moment and asked questions of what our dog was like. Our dog stressed so badly when going to the vet’s that we just couldn’t think of doing that to him on this last day. Fortunately there are people like Dr Glenn who can provide this service where your pet, and you, are most comfortable - at home.

For being such a different experience, I could not have asked for a better person to guide us through it. He was gentle, respectful, kind, knowledgable, and had an intuition and connection with our beloved dog.
