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 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 was sent to us by God. He was so compassionate and took some time to get to know our Striker. This was indicative of his kindness and professionalism.

Dr. John Crawford is truly an exceptional veterinarian—compassionate, patient, and deeply caring. He helped my beloved dog, Dada, pass peacefully, guiding me through one of the most difficult moments of my life with such kindness and understanding. His gentle approach made all the difference, and I will always be grateful for the care he provided. He went above and beyond by thoughtfully making sure I had Dada’s paw print, even hand-delivering it. That level of kindness speaks volumes about his dedication to both his patients and their families. Dr. Crawford is an absolute angel—God-sent during such a heartbreaking time. He is not only a skilled professional but also a genuinely kindhearted person. Anyone lucky enough to have him as their vet will be in the best hands. Thank you, John, for everything!

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!

Review by Dr. John Crawford

Dr.Crawford made a hard situation a beautiful experience. He helped our sweet dog Shanti feel comfortable and our family to have the space and time to say goodbye in our home with Shanti in her bed. I couldn’t have asked for a more sensitive and supportive Dr to aid our sweet fur baby on her journey home. Thank you Dr Crawford and Codapet
