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
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!
Dr. Jessica Mumm has the most soothing voice and demeanor and quickly put our family at ease. She knew right away that Blanca was suffering and explained the symptoms that she could see. Dr. Jessica told us that we had made the right decision. We knew that Blanca was not the dynamic dog that she used to be, but losing her seemed unimaginable. Dr. Jessica gave us all the time we needed to say goodbye, which we were so grateful for. Blanca passed so peacefully we barely knew that she was gone. I will highly recommend Coda Pets to whoever needs this important service. Thank you from the Trotter family 💝
Dr. Jessica was the best I could have asked for. She was gentle and soft-spoken, soothing and sympathetic. Murrphy liked her and even took treats from her hand. She took her time, and let us take ours. I am also grateful for the small "stone" with Murrphy's name hand-lettered in gold - it was perfect! I could no longer hold my cat, but I could hold that tiny stone in my hand.
Dr. Mumm was so gentle, kind, patient and reverent with the process. We felt that she really understood how precious our dog was. We are grateful that she was with us for a very difficult day,
This was the best possible choice for saying goodbye to our pet. Jessica is very informative, compassionate, gentle, humane and loving to both the pet and the humans! We needed someone to come out to our house right away. Jessica bent her schedule to fit us in at the last moment. She offered us options for afterwards, including take away of your loved one and help with deciding what to do with their remains. In our case it includes delivery to our vet when our cats ashes are ready to come home. She gave us a paw print of our kitty and a few other things. This was my kids first pet and my first time having to do this, so it was especially hard for us. I was very nervous and scared. This was perfect for our situation and for helping my kids go through it. I have already told a few people about our experience. I hope this place thrives and continues to do the great work they do. It takes a very special person to do this service. Thank you!
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!
