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

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.

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.

We are so grateful for Coda and Dr Glen. The experience of saying goodbye to our little Lucy was so heartbreaking, but Dr G. was patient, kind and so very gentle…with Lucy And with us. This is a fabulous service. We are so appreciative to have had Lucy enjoy her final time here at home, and pass peacefully here in her own bed. We thank you.

Dr Glenn Jackson was very caring and compassionate when he came to our home to help our declining 14 year old Springer Ziva cross over. My last four Springers passed away at home, even though difficult,I wouldn’t have it any other way.

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.
