Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
After performing hundreds of euthanasias over the years, I know how difficult it is to say good-bye to a pet in an office-type setting with noises, sights, and smells that are unfamiliar to the pet. I decided to offer in-home euthanasia to honor the bond that people have with their pets and to make the experience as stress-free as possible to everyone involved.

What pet parents are saying
Dr. Jason Doolittle showed our family extraordinary compassion during one of the hardest moments of our lives. He walked us through every step of the at-home euthanasia process with patience, kindness, and clarity, ensuring we never felt rushed or uncertain. He handled our beloved Ranger with the utmost respect and gentleness, truly honoring him as the cherished member of our family that he was. Dr. Doolittle stayed in contact with us throughout the process, including updates on the return of Ranger ashes along with a beautiful nose print and paw print that we will treasure forever. Allowing Ranger to spend his final day at home, surrounded by love and comfort, meant everything to us. We are deeply grateful for Dr. Doolittle’s empathy, professionalism, and the genuine care he showed our family and our sweet pup.
Dr. Doolittle was amazing! We could not have asked for anyone better. He was kind and compassionate. He walked us through everything that would happen. We never felt rushed and he gave us time to say goodbye to our sweet dog. I would highly and will highly recommend Codapet and Dr Doolittle. Thank you so much.
Our family will be forever grateful to Dr. Jason Dolittle for the compassion, kindness, and exceptional care he provided during one of the most difficult days of our lives. Saying goodbye to our beloved Boerboel, Khosi, was heartbreaking, but Dr. Dolittle made the process as peaceful and dignified as possible. He took the time to explain everything, answered every question with patience, and never made us feel rushed. Most importantly, he treated Khosi with the same love, respect, and gentleness that we did. Dr. Dolittle’s calm presence brought comfort to our entire family. He ensured that Khosi was comfortable and at peace every step of the way, allowing us the opportunity to focus on loving him during his final moments. It was evident that he genuinely cared not only for Khosi, but for all of us who loved him so deeply. While no one ever wants to face the loss of a cherished family member, we could not have asked for a more compassionate veterinarian to guide us through that journey. Thank you, Dr. Dolittle, for helping our sweet boy pass peacefully and with dignity. Your kindness and professionalism will never be forgotten.
Dr. Doolittle was compassionate and professional. I appreciate his clear communication before, during, and after our appointment. He talked us through the process and what to expect at each stage. He helped us through a really difficult time. I would recommend Dr. Doolittle to everyone.
HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE with LACK of DIGNITY!!!! I couldn't believe how heart-breaking this experience was for our family. We had to put our 14 year old maltipoo down, and assumed doing this at home would be the most peaceful option. But, the experience was anything but peaceful. The vet who came to our home, Dr. Doolittle (that is actually his name) was unprepared. He showed up with his teenage son in the car. He had to leave to go out to his car several times because he kept forgetting what he needed. Once our sweet Prince was sedated, he began the euthanasia. We thought this would be a simple procedure, but no...this is where it gets horrifying. He shaved one paw, only to stick our dog 6-7 times. And not regular sticks, really forceful sticks. Then he proceeded to another paw, needing to reposition our sweet boy to reach it. He was VERY ROUGH, yanking our dog almost out of our arms by his back legs without warning, making his head roll backwards. He then stuck him another 10-12 times, before again having to try another paw. At this point, we were all freaking out. I asked him nicely to be gentle when moving our sweet baby again, but he was still rough! Finally, on the third paw after a total of 20-25 sticks, he was able to find a vein and complete the process. It was miserable and nerve-racking. There was no peace. There was no dignity. I am writing this because I can't stand the thought of another pet parent enduring such pain. He took what could have been a beautiful goodbye and turned it into a traumatic memory..one that continues to play in my mind.
We decided to use CodaPet when it was time for us to make that decision for our sweet 14 year old St Bernard, Fiona. It was the best thing we could have done. Dr Jason Doolittle made sure the experience was peaceful and went at a pace we were comfortable with. He explained in detail everything that would happen and was very gentle with Fiona. Thank you for providing a service that allows our fur family to go peacefully in their homes surrounded by comforting faces and love.
