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

Dr Crawford made one of the worst decisions we’ve had to make peaceful. He was extremely attentive and kind through the entire process. We are heartbroken but are thankful for his care.

My family and I are incredibly grateful for Dr. John Crawford. I can’t imagine any other way we could have let our sweet girl of 18 years go. John was beyond empathetic and created an atmosphere of comfort for us and our Dog as she prepared to pass. Please don’t look any further for a euthanasia service, your loved one deserves someone like John to gift them their most comfortable last moments. Thanks again John, your service is invaluable 🙏🏼

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.

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 was the kindest person during a time our world was falling apart. He made the transition for our boy Boo easy. We are shattered by Boo’s passing, as the decision was extremely hard to make. And I needed the extra piece that Dr Crawford gave us, as we were making the right call. Thank you for your caring on one of the worse days our lives. Kindness matters.
