Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
I see veterinary medicine as a profession of service, service to the animals in need of care and service to their owners who share and mutually celebrate the human animal bond. Every animal whom I care for teaches me something and helps me be a better veterinarian and a better person. In-home euthanasia is a gift that we can give our pets. We can provide solace for them and our families by letting them pass on in a place they know surrounded by those they love. In-home euthanasia allows us to be able to advocate for our pets and make the choice for how we want to say goodbye.

What pet parents are saying
Dr Dixon was kind, caring, and gentle with our boy in his final moments. My husband and I are extremely grateful for this service and for Dr Dixon for allowing such dignity and peace in such a difficult time. We will never do it another way if we can help it.
We got the heartbreaking news on a Saturday afternoon that our dog had complications following surgery and would not survive the weekend. In home pet euthanasia is very important to us, as it allows them to cross over in a place they know and are comfortable, and we were concerned we wouldn’t be able to find a vet to come to our home in time. We were able to book an appointment online with Dr. Dixon to come to our house that weekend, and she was flexible with timing when we realized that we needed her services even earlier than planned. She had a calming and compassionate presence and explained the process so we were prepared. Our dog was able to pass away peacefully in our back yard, surrounded by her family. Saying good-bye to our sweet girl was incredibly difficult, but being able to have her pass calmly in her favorite place was comforting. Thank you to Dr. Dixon and Codapet for being there when we needed you.
I wasn't aware of this at home service and I wish my primary Vet had suggested it as an option. Thank God a friend suggested this. My dog was able to pass in his own home environment with a ton of love around him. JoAnne was professional and caring and walked us through step by step. This is the only route we will take from now on. I highly recommend this option.
Extremely thoughtful and kind. Would truly recommend to anyone faced with this difficult decision. We truly could not have gone through this emotionally without her support.
Dr Dixon was so kind and patient with us as we'd never lost a pet before. She explained what would happen and allowed Boomer to pass away peacefully in our arms, in our own home. I wouldn't have done this any other way and we are so grateful for her care.
Losing our much loved dog was so difficult. Dr. Dixon was so kind and loving to us and to Buddy. She has a very calming presence and we appreciated it very much. Losing a pet is so painful and there’s nothing that can really make it easier. Her kindness and compassion was comforting.
