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 gentle caring and understanding while we were in the middle of a tough situation. Our fur baby was able to transition to see his sister again peacefully while giving us comfort during the process. Would definitely recommend 10/10 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.

He was amazing. We can’t thank him enough for the kindness and overwhelming support while our sweet Bentlee boy was taking his journey over the rainbow bridge. Thank you so much again Dr. Crawford!!

I recently had to make the incredibly difficult decision to say goodbye to my beloved cat, Leo, and I'm so grateful that I found John Crawford for in-home pet euthanasia. John was incredibly kind and thoughtful throughout the process, showing deep respect and empathy for Leo and me. His gentle approach and compassion made a world of difference, and being able to say goodbye to Leo at home, rather than in a sterile vet's office, brought so much comfort. John provided Leo with the dignity, care, and peace he deserved, and I couldn’t be more thankful for his presence during such a difficult time. If you're facing this heartbreaking decision, I highly recommend John for his warmth and professionalism."

Review by Dr. John Crawford

Dr. Crawford was amazing! Incredibly gentle, kind & compassionate. He was so loving towards our old man, Mosse. My heart goes out to all my fellow paw-parents. No one ever wants to have to contact Laps of Love, as we know heartbreak soon follows. However, when that dark day comes, Dr. Crawford, with his love & compassion, will make it a little brighter. Dr. Crawford went above & beyond, when a week later, he hand-delivered our boy's ashes. Sadly, this was second experience with Laps of Love. We strongly urge others to contact Laps of Love, as it is the last act of love you can show your 'baby', in the comfort of your own home, surrounded by all of your baby's loved ones.
