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
Our dog Nikki was struggling with arthritis and started quickly deteriorating to the point she couldn't stand up or walk anymore. We decided to pursue in home pet euthanasia so she could be as comfortable as possible. Dr. Mumm was very supportive through the whole process and would explain everything she did before taking any action, so it didn't feel rushed or confusing at all. She excused herself several times to give us space to be with Nikki until we decided it was time to say goodbye. I cannot thank her enough for the service she provided us in our most difficult time.
Dr. Jessica was incredibly warm, compassionate, and supportive throughout our entire experience saying goodbye to our beloved dog, Lennon. As difficult of a day as it was, we felt lucky to have her guidance and experience as she provided a dignified and peaceful passing in his comfy home. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Dr Mumm was so gracious during the whole procedure. Her energy was very quiet and professional. She gave us time and space to grieve which was so helpful.
We could not have asked for a better vet than Jessica. She was a comforting presence in our dog's last moments. We're grateful that one of his last experiences was meeting her - he always loved making new friends.
Dr. Jessica Mumm, was %100 compassionate , caring, kind and human. She was an amazing care attendant for Sam and for us. More-so than I thought was even possible in this difficult, tough situation. I absolutely recommend Dr. Mumm, I can’t say enough good about her kindness and professionalism. She is truly a special person. Thank you
We are extremely grateful for Dr. Jessica Mumm who helped us say goodbye to our beloved Riley in the comfort of our home. She was extremely kind, compassionate and patient with us during the entire process. We are thankful for her and for this service.
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!
Last week we had to say goodbye to our beloved 15 year old dog, Caesar. Making this end of life decision was beyond difficult. Dr. Jessica Mumm was truly an angel there to guide us through the process. Her genuinely compassionate and gentle presence was so much appreciated by our whole family. I cannot recommend her enough if you are in need of end of life assistance for your pet.
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.
Dr Mumm was more than we could have asked for, so helpful and compassionate. She explained the procedure and there was no rushing of any part. It was tough to say goodbye to our cat Eden, but Jessica made it so peaceful. I'd recommend her to anyone looking for the best at home procedure.
Dr. Mumm was incredibly compassionate and caring even though we booked a same day appointment and she had not met our family before. Our dog was so clearly in pain that day and we needed help urgently, she was truly incredible. I work in hospice (for humans) and had high expectations, she exceeded all of them. I just can't say enough about how she made a very difficult situation less painful for the whole family.
We recently had to say goodbye to our beloved dog, Wilson, and chose in-home euthanasia so he could be comfortable in his favorite place. Wilson was quirky, special, and so very loveable. Dr. Jessica Mumm came into our home and showed such kindness, patience, and empathy throughout the entire process. She treated Wilson with the utmost compassion and dignity, and she gave us the space and support we needed during such a difficult moment. Her gentle presence made an incredibly hard day just a little bit easier. We are so grateful for the care she provided to both Wilson and our family.
We thank Dr Mumm for being so lovely and amazing during such a hard time in our lives. We highly recommend her she was so wonderful!!
I can't say enough about the care and true feelings Dr. Jessica had for my cat Sasi and I. She provided us with everything for a gentle and comfortable good bye for my sweet girl. I was able to continue petting her gently the entire time. I highly recommend this service to anyone with a beloved pet.❤️
We had a wonderful experience with in-home pet euthanasia. Dr. Mumm was kind, gentle, knowledgeable, very prepared with supplies. She was so nice and so understanding. My daughter and I really appreciated her and her service in so many ways. I would highly recommend her and this service. Our fur baby was 14 years old and had been struggling with illness probably longer than we realized. It was the right time, although heartbreaking, and the right thing to do.
Dr. Mumm was very compassionate and empathetic. She thoroughly explained the process and what we should expect. Dr. Mumm made the extremely difficult decision to send my beloved pet to “Rainbow Bridge” an easier one. Thank you, Dr.Mumm.
Saying goodbye to our dog Kato was really hard but it was reassuring to know we were making the right decision after the evaluation. Jessica was kind and loving to our pet that we shared memories with for 13 years.
Dr. Jessica Mumm was so caring, gentle, and professional with our beloved Coco. She really made a very difficult time comforting and put us at peace with our decision. Thank you.
Dr. Mumm has such a gentle, kind soul. She helped with our in home pet euthanasia recently and I highly recommend her for when it's time for your beloved pet to cross the rainbow bridge.
Dr Jessica was absolutely wonderful ❤️ She made one the hardest days, as peaceful as it could possibly be. Having our sweet Bonny at home, where she was the most content, was such a blessing!! I am forever grateful for this service!!❤️🐾
What a beautiful experience we had with Dr. Mumm and our dear cat. After 17 amazing years her body was telling us it was time to and Dr.Mumm came to our house for this end of life. She was beyond gracious, so warm, and calming in her review of what was to happen. I would recommend her to anyone faced with this difficult decision as she made it as lovely as it could be for us. My heart was broken but also warmed that our cat left us in such a loving way.
Our dear hound Frankie woke up Saturday morning unable to walk due to the pain of his hip dysplasia. We knew our 13 yr old friend suffered from the condition, but it finally crippled him. We spent a sleepless night, watching him agonize over not being able to go outside to do his business. Sunday morning I looked for home services for pet euthanasia and found Dr. Mumm. She replied immediately and put me at ease. Frankie had suffered abuse before we adopted him and had a terrible fear of riding in a vehicle so we needed someone to come to us. She arrived and explained the procedure calmly and sympathetically. Our whole family was able to be there to say goodbye. It is one of the hardest choices a pet lover has to make, but Dr, Mumm did everything right, as far as we are concerned. Have already recommended her to friends and family. Thank you!
Dr. Mumm was compassionate, caring, and kind throughout our difficult time of saying goodbye to our elderly Bella. We could not have asked for a more peaceful experience both for Bella and for us.
As awful as it was to say goodbye to our beloved Eddie, Dr. Mumm was caring, patient, and loved our pup like it was her own. I would recommend her to anyone.
Dr. Mumm was very patient, calm, compassionate and respect. Dr. Mumm, explained everything before it was going to happen. One of the worst days, but so thankful she was there to make it endurable.
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.
Jessica was so patient, compassionate, and gracious during a very difficult time. She explained everything thoroughly and made sure that we were in agreement with every step of the process. She spoke to our Gus as if she knew him and how special he was.
Dr Mumm was great. It was obviously difficult putting our dog down, but she made us feel comfortable with our decision and was very attentive and communicative throughout the entire process. It made this heart wrenching experience much easier having someone that cares so much about you and your pet. Thank you Dr. Mumm for all you did for us!
Dr. Mumm was supportive, empathic, and knowledgeable. She explained the process clearly, let me share memories for which she was sincerely interested, and made sure I had all the time I needed before we put our family dog down. I highly recommend Dr. Mumm.
Two weeks ago today I needed to euthanize my big, handsome, and sweetest boy ever Archie. He was 14, and his precipitous decline was so sudden. I didn’t even know home pet euthanasia was even an option, until I began looking online that morning. Dr Jessica was such a gift to me and my family members that were able to gather here to love Archie and say goodbye together. The worst possible day happened in the best possible way. And I know he’s very happy now with my mom and dad, and all our family members in heaven. Thank you, Dr Jessica for walking us through that morning of mourning.
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. Mumm handled saying goodbye to our Ruby in the best possible way that it could have been handled. It was an extremely difficult decision for us, but she made us feel so at peace with the decision. She was calming, respectful and so knowledgable. I would highly recommend in home pet euthanasia with Dr. Mumm if you have are facing the same difficult decision to say goodbye to your beloved pet.
Saying goodbye to a furry family member is such a painful event. I am grateful for Dr. Jessica Mumm and how she lovingly showed up for me, my wife and our dearly departed doggy. Dr. Jessica was remarkably reassuring, patient, validating, comforting, and kind throughout the in-home pet euthanasia process. It was obvious she really cared. I'm so glad we were able to say goodbye in the comfort and familiarity of our own home with a professional who truly gets it. Thank you Dr. Jessica for making this difficult day go as smoothly as possible.

She loves animals, and showed such care for our Penny dog and us! At home euthanasia was the perfect way to respect our dog and let her pass with dignity. She gives lots of treats and interacts with your pet with you and gives time for happiness!!! Our Penny greated her at the door and was so happy interacting with Dr Jessica Mumm! It's the hardest thing to do for your loved pet, but the most unselfish thing, and Dr Jessica helps you with that. She did a great assessment lettingbus know the time was right.
When we made the painful decision that it was time to send our sweet Bella to heaven, we knew her final moments needed to be spent in the comfort of her own home — relaxed, calm, and surrounded by the love she gave us every day of her life. It was the least we could do for her after all the unconditional love she had given us. Dr. Jessica Mumm was an absolute blessing during one of the hardest moments we’ve ever faced. She was incredibly kind, compassionate, and professional from the moment she arrived. She explained everything gently, moved at our pace, and gave us all the time we needed to hold Bella, talk to her, and say our goodbyes without ever feeling rushed. Her presence brought peace into a heartbreaking moment, and she made Bella’s transition as gentle and dignified as possible. We will forever be grateful for the care, respect, and empathy she showed our girl — and us. If you are facing the impossible decision of in-home pet euthanasia, I cannot recommend Dr. Mumm highly enough. She gave our Bella the peaceful passing she deserved, and that is a gift we will always remember.
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,
Dr. Mumm was incredible. She called the morning of the appointment and talked about the process. She offered to come earlier than the scheduled appointment time if that would make it easier on us. When she got to our house she took time to get to know our Sunshine a little bit and talk about what was going on with her. She also let me talk about Sunshine, my memories of her and what a wonderful dog she has been for us. She was so kind and reassured us that we were doing the best thing for my little girl. We have lost many pets due to old age, but this was the hardest time ever. Thank you to Dr. Mumm for making it as gentle as possible.
Dr. Mumm was AMAZING!!! She connected with our cat, Booker, and made him feel at ease! She even made a point of connecting with his brother! In addition, she made the whole process so individualized! I will ALWAYS recommend Codapet and Dr. Mumm for end-of- life care for every beloved pet!
Dr. Mumm was absolutely amazing. She helped to make the experience smooth and comfortable for my cat, Mignon, as well as for my family. Recommend 100%.
Jessica was so kind and compassionate about everything that we experienced with sending our sweet Tego to heaven. She was helpful via text days before when I had questions and concerns about things. She had a kind and gentle personality and reassured us while in our home about everything we were doing. I would highly recommend her to anyone, we feel so lucky to have had her come to our home to help us.
Very best possible transition for our beloved dog and our family. Dr. Mumm allowed us to be out on our deck where Coda was the most comfortable in the cooler air. Our dog really liked her, too. The last hour of her life was as wonderful as we could make it, with lots of pets and love and treats. She fell asleep gently, settled right in front of me. Dr. Mumm was very reassuring to us and we helped her carry Coda out to her car on a stretcher since she was a big dog. She wrapped her in blankets on the stretcher but left her head out so the last thing we saw was her head on her paws, resting peacefully. Later we received a personal email and card from her which listed many of the activities we told her about doing with Coda. It felt like she really listened and cared! Thank you, Dr. Mumm, for making this difficult time so much better than expected!
Dr. Mumm was so lovely. She made a truly awful situation so much easier. This was the first time I had to put a pet down and was very anxious about it because I did not know what to expect. She took the time to walk through the steps and ease my mind about what was about to happen. She let us take all the time we needed and genuinely treated my sweet boy as if he were hers. I cannot thank her enough!!!
Dr. Jessica Mumm was certainly a blessing to our family on what was a difficult day indeed. Her genuine warmth, compassion and kindness was dearly appreciated. Dr. Mumm and Codapet offered us a truly dignified and loving farewell that will never be forgotten and will be fondly recommended to others in the future. If you and your beloved pet are questioning this option at all, please reach out to Codapet for any answers you may need...their support is exemplary and genuine.
She's the best possible person for this hard, sad situation. Her calm demeanor and willingness to not hurry you through the process was amazing. I was so happy that she cared so much about a dog and a family she didn't know. Amazing is the best word.
Dr. Jessica Mumm made saying goodbye to our cat such a gentle and peaceful process. Her kindness and compassion was palpable from the moment she walked in. She gave us all the time we needed and had such a calm and patient demeanor, which I truly believe our cat could sense. We made the tough call to say goodbye and she was able to come the same day. She was truly an angel and I'm so thankful for this service.
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.
Dr. Jessica Mumm is wonderful. On one of the hardest days, she gave us comfort in our decision to put our LOVELY Layla to rest. It was devastating we had to make this choice but she was comforting, helpful and respectful. She made the process about as peaceful as it can be. She was very gentle and understanding. We thank her for her help. We would recommend her to anyone who is going through a similar situation.
If I could give Dr. Jessica 100 stars, I absolutely would. We recently faced one of the hardest moments of our lives, saying goodbye to our 10.5 year old golden retriever, Seamus (left in photo), just five months after losing his littermate, Logan (right in photo). It was a heart wrenching decision, but Dr. Jessica made an unbearable experience as comforting and compassionate as humanly possible. From the moment she arrived at our home, she felt less like a doctor coming to perform a service and more like a trusted family member walking alongside us. She came out to our back porch where Seamus was resting. Although he was too weak to show his usual smiles, he still greeted her with a wagging tail, a testament to the warmth and gentleness she brought with her. Dr. Jessica took her time to sit with us, pet and love Seamus and explain every step of the process with such patience and care. She emphasized over and over, "Take your time," and "It's okay. When you're ready." There was never a sense of being rushed, only compassion, understanding and genuine love for our boy in his final moments. She even brought extra treats for Seamus, ensuring he was spoiled with love and kindness right to the end. Dr. Jessica also had a couple of thoughtful surprises for us that meant a great deal to our family. Her attention to both the emotional and professional aspects of her visit was extraordinary. If you are reading this and struggling with an impossible decision, I am deeply sorry. I understand the pain you're feeling. But if it offers even a small bit of comfort, I can confidently say Dr. Jessica is the person you want by your side. We will forever be grateful for the care, dignity and compassion she showed us and Seamus during this heartbreaking time. Thank you, Dr. Jessica! You are truly a blessing.
This was a beautiful experience. Dr. Mumm was so kind, took the time to get to know our pup but also our other pup, spoke gently and talked through everything in advance. For our senior pup who hated getting in the car, this was a much nicer way to say goodbye to her.
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!
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!
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.
Because of the heartbreaking work you perform you and all the other vets and techs out there are God's angels.You see the begining and you see the end,when your needed most. Thank you.
Dr. Jessica was prompt, very sweet, empathetic, patient, accommodating and professional. She helped everyone feel at ease with our decision and the process. As a result, our best most handsome boy Buddy passed peacefully and without any stress or anxiety save for the profound sadness felt by those of us who loved him.
Dr. Mumm made a difficult experience as gentle as possible. She was caring and patient, and I felt that my sweet dog was getting the best possible end of life care. Her communication was clear and timely about all aspects (the appointment, return of ashes, etc.). I would definitely work with Dr. Mumm again in the future.
So caring and supportive during our difficult time. Dr. Mumm we thank you for your caring support you gave us when we had to say goodbye to our beautiful Chy.
Dr. Mumm was so very lovely and gave us a very special, gentle, and graceful experience of saying goodbye to our beloved kitty. We are so grateful!
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.
