Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
Our pets are one of the few constants in our life. They play such a grounding role for us, with their unconditional love and support. It is truly the last loving decision we can make as their caretakers to help them pass peacefully, with dignity and respect. As a veterinarian that has helped with end-of-life care both in home and in a clinic, I see the many great benefits for families and their pets with the privacy of in-home services, where both are the most comfortable and relaxed in their own environment.

What pet parents are saying
I want to give so much thanks to Dr. Jessica. We had to say goodbye to our family cat of 16 years, Gizmo down due to metastatic cancer. He was on hospice already and it was time so he wouldn’t suffer, his pains meds were only managing so much and his status was declining. I honestly have to say this was the hardest decision I have ever had to make and it broke my heart. Dr. Jessica was so kind, patient and supportive to us during the process. My Gizmo who isn’t font of outsiders was even kind to her and let her pet him. If you have to make this hard decision for your loved pet I would definitely recommend Dr.Jessica. Doing this at home made the experience so much easier for myself and family. I was balling but I Gizmo and my family got to be in the comfort our own home and he got to listen to music, and be cuddled by his family as he passed.
Dr. Jessica was amazing. She had so much care for our sweet George and the entire family. She listened to our stories and never pushed us. She was patient and really made a very sad day a little easier. Having to say goodbye to a beloved furry family member is never fun, but Dr. Jessica was a true blessing for our family. We can’t say enough good things about our experience. We are grateful for her help.
She was very caring, and you can tell how much she loves animals. She helped us feel better about our decision to have to put down our beloved pet and helped us know we were doing the right thing for our cat. She did her best to explain everything that we were going to be experiencing. It takes a very special person to do what she does and we were very grateful to have us there helping our cat at the end.
Just before New Years, we noticed some changes in our beloved elderly cat, Callie, who unfortunately went downhill quite quickly. We scheduled a vet visit with our local vet clinic for early New Years Eve day suspecting we were nearing the end but hopeful she might pull through. When the time came for the appointment, it became more clear to us Callie was in rough shape and the thought of bringing her to the vet and her last moments alive being of sheer terror didn't feel good for us. We started calling around to several vets who perform home euthanasia, but being New Years Eve and due to our more rural location, we were coming up short. Thankfully one of those companies recommended CodaPet. I was able to make our appointment for that day online and shortly after Dr. Mumm reached out via phone to talk to us about what was going on and what to expect. When Dr. Mumm arrived, she did an exam on our kitty to help us confirm what our gut suspected and helped us to know we were making the right choice for Callie. She was so very kind to us, our kids, and our sweet cat. She was so patient, compassionate, and flexible to our needs in the moment. The whole process was handled just beautifully, in one of the worst moments of our life. We also just received the kindest sympathy card with all the little details, and it meant the world to know she truly listened and cared. We are just so so grateful for CodaPet and Dr. Mumm for being there for us in a time where we really needed it. We will recommend CodaPet to anyone with pets facing a similar choice. Thank you Dr. Mumm and CodaPet!
Jessica was just the professional I needed. She explained everything in detail and showed the compassion that it takes to make this process smooth. Thanks to her and Coda for helping to make Bella’s passing as comfortable as she deserves.
We knew it was time to say goodbye to our dear pup Mango and Dr. Mumm was the most kind and considerate person to be with us for our in-home pet euthanasia. We had the time to tell stories and be together in the comfort of our home, so it wasn't scary for Mango. She helped him gently fall asleep and then when we were ready, she helped him peacefully be euthanized. This is never an easy life event to process and accept, but Dr. Mumm and CodaPet made it about Mango and us and we are so thankful we found her!
