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.’

Dr Crawford was amazing, he really does care. He consoled the entire process. My husband was out of it and even told me he gave him a hug

I have no words for how gentle and kind Dr. Crawford was with our Enzo as he passed. It was one of the hardest days of our lives but Dr. Crawford made us all feel comfortable and secure. His respect for our pet was so apparent, and he passed in such a beautiful way. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience during such a tragic ordeal.

Dr. John Crawford was wonderful. He is incredibly kind and compassionate and very professional. Saying good-bye to Cooper with in-home pet euthanasia and Dr. Crawford made a difficult decision much less stressful for Cooper and the rest of our family including our dog who was able to say her good-bye to him.

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.

I would like to thank Dr. John Crawford for his care and support this week. I made the decision to liberate my 13 year old dog, Toro, and the gentleness and kindness shown by Dr. Crawford helped me support Toro in his last moments. Dr. Crawford was prompt to arrive at my home in Baltimore City. He spoke calmly and lovingly to Toro throughout the procedure and was very kind to his "brothers" as they gave their goodbyes. There was no anxiety or concern for Toro, he rested peacefully. Equal care was provided as Toro was carried out of our home. Thank you again, Dr. Crawford.

Dr Crawford was extremely caring and kind. He allowed me the space and time I needed to say my last good byes. I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.
