Dr. John Crawford
Verified Veterinarian
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.’

Good morning…I’m good today following the passing of my 17 year old Husky thanks to Codapet in-home euthanasia services. It was not a solemn occasion, I had Dr. John Crawford who is active military and a veterinarian responsible for taking care of dogs with the US Army and Navy come to our home. The whole process took about two hours and 45 minutes as he sat on the floor with me getting to know both of my dogs and got them both so comfortable that they fell asleep right in front of him he then gave my Husky Zira a powerful sedative in the nape of her neck. After a time, my Husky Zira She started a deep sleep snoring peacefully with CeeLo our Black Lab a couple of inches from Zira not knowing anything had happened and we continue to just pet her and let the sedative take affect for the next hour and 20 minutes as Dr. Crawford did not want to rush this and give me and Zira the time we needed. Once I indicated that I was ready and he had checked that the Husky felt no reflexes from the pinching of the skin between her toes he gave the final needle stopping her heart within about 30 to 45 seconds Dr. Crawford let me lay with her and CeeLo for as long as I wanted, which was about 20 more minutes. Meanwhile, ALEX, my godson and Willie my godfather were alarm in the sunroom with us sitting there peacefully. Dr. Crawford the veterinarian, then retrieved a pet stretcher from his car, and soft velour blanket, folded in such a way that we could gently lift my Husky from her bed to the soft blanket. We gently lifted her onto the stretcher where she was covered with the blanket with her face exposed and strapped onto the pet stretcher with the care you would exhibit for a small child… I couldn’t think of a better sendoff for a person or Fur baby. I overwhelmingly recommend Codapet to for home-based end of life services for your Fur Babies. With regard to the Veterinarian that came to our home Dr. John Crawford with the United States Army has the disposition of a seasoned Chaplin and is one of the most compassionate people I’ve ever met.
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 so kind and compassionate in our time of need. He gave us time to say goodbye to our beloved Bella and held space for us to grieve. I am so glad we go to say goodbye to her in the peace of our home. Thank you for doing this very hard job.
Dr. John Crawford from CodaPet was absolutely wonderful and made our experience very manageable and special. He is very kind, gentle, caring, and understanding, which was very helpful during the process. We are very grateful that our experience went so smoothly. I would definitely recommend Dr. Crawford and CodaPet if your pet is suffering.
I can’t thank Dr. John enough for his compassion for helping Cooper pass over the bridge in our home. He is very caring and professional and would highly recommend him.
