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.’

I cannot express enough how grateful we are for the exceptional care and kindness we received from Dr. Crawford. From the moment we walked into our home, it was clear that he truly cares about his patients and their families. His compassion and support went above and beyond, making a challenging time much easier to handle. Dr. Crawford took the time to answer all our questions and provided thoughtful, attentive care. We truly appreciate his unwavering kindness and the genuine concern he showed for our beloved pet. Thank you so much for everything!
It's taken me a minute to be able to write about the loss of my Piccola, the loss of losing a her was devastating as her life and spirit changed quickly. Dr. John Crawford is an amazing human. He is an empath for sure, and while his approach with Piccola was very professional... it was also-- so so very kind. You can feel that he is authentic in every way. What stood out to me was not just the kindness towards my daughter Piccola, but I could feel that he could see the pain her mom (me) was in, and he did everything to assure me and my husband in the process. I had "that moment" where I was like--- is this time-- because my pup who was lethargic, and not eating or drinking jumped up to kiss Dr. Crawford--- which scared me---is it too soon-- am I doing the right thing-- and he explained what was happening in her little body, and soul. Dr. Crawford it is the person I never want to see--- but if I have to see someone to help my pet pass... he IS THE person I would want again. Utterly brilliant smart-- UTTERLY kind and authentic human. Thank you Dr. Crawford for being such a special human. I will never forget you. Kind Regards Susan and Robert
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 would definitely recommend Dr. Crawford and CodaPet if your pet is suffering.
Dr. Crawford is exceptional! He came to our home and treated Shrek with kindness comfort and care. He showed compassion and kindness. He also brought Shrek back to us personally. We felt like he was part of our family. If I could give 100 stars I would. Thank you Dr. Crawford we will forever be grateful to you.
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!
