Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

A client said to me 'You must hate your job.' I explained that I'm here for you and your Family during one of your greatest times of need. Bringing comfort, peace, and ending suffering is a wonderful service we can offer our four-legged Family members. Households frequently comment they felt a huge relief, like the weight of worry and concern was removed, knowing they did everything possible. They also appreciated saying goodbye in their own home, to grieve in private, and that CodaPet handled all the arrangements. Bringing this comfort, peace, and calm to the community is my ‘why.’

What pet parents are saying

He was very charismatic and welcoming to both our dogs, even offering a treat. He was very approachable and respectful to us. It really made the process a lot easier for us and felt it was okay to cry in front of him. I'd recommend him to others if needed. Thank you again!

Dr. Crawford was absolutely amazing. We were having a very difficult time and he was extremely patient and empathetic. He made us and our dog feel so at ease. I really cannot say enough good things about him.

Dr. Crawford was a gift to us in our final moments with our sweet boy. This was me and my partners first dog together, our first child! Dr. Crawford is one of the most emphatic people I’ve ever met. I could tell instantly his respect for our grief and his care for our dog. Not only did he perform the in home pet euthanasia, informing us every step of the way, but he was very compassionate towards our grief. Dr. Crawford took his time and even asked if we needed more time with our dog. We were comforted knowing our dog did not have to move from his own home and bed before he passed. He was able to finally be relaxed like the good ole young days and we were able to say goodbye again while he was without pain before he was officially euthanized. This has to be the hardest job in the world and we are beyond grateful we chose Dr. Crawford.

For as hard of a process saying good bye to our beloved pet has been, Dr. Crawford eased our fears, worries and grief through out the whole thing.

Dr. Crawford was very compassionate and gave us ample time to say goodbye to our beloved dog, Beethoven. He was calm and gentle and made a difficult and emotional experience less stressful. Dr. Crawford also personally returned Beethoven’s ashes to us, He clearly cares about our pet and our grief in this moment. Thank you for peace and closure. May God bless you for providing this service to those in need.
