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
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 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.
Dr Dixon made an unpleasant duty more acceptable She was kind and understanding of our grief Chip is no longer suffering which brings us some comfort Thank you
Dr. Dixon provided such empathetic and knowledgeable care on a very difficult day. She took care of everything and we never doubted Frankie was loved and cared for by her from the moment she entered our home to the moment she returned his ashes. Could not more highly recommend Dr. Dixon! We will utilize her services as long as we live in Central Oregon.
Dr. Dixon is my animal hero! The way she came on very short notice to help my Rosie over the Bridge was such an enormous relief to me. The peaceful passing of my dog gave me the chance to hold that memory as a positive one in my heart The added service of cremation and the return of her ashes was another way to make a difficult time a bit easier. The fact that Dr. Dixon comes from La Pine to all over Bend shows how generous and caring she is. Lyn McClure
Our dog Axl had a brain tumor that caused a sudden onset of seizures. We did everything we could to space the seizures out, but they got worse two days before Christmas. He had 6 in a 12 hour period, and he almost didn't come out of the last one. It was 3am, and we new it was time to make the hardest decision. It was important that he was euthanized at home where he was comfortable, but every vet that offered home euthanasia was closed for the holiday. That's when we found Coda Pet and Dr. Dixon. She came the next morning, and helped us all get through one of the hardest days of our lives. She was everything Axl needed in his last moments, and we'll be forever grateful to her for her services.
