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 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 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.
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.
John was amazing. He's a warm person and a gentle soul. For each step of the process he waited patiently until we were ready to proceed. Highly recommend him and at home euthanasia for your pet.
In home pet euthanasia. I'd never thought the day I'd have to say good buy to my baby Greta would even take place. She was the kindest doggie anyone could ever hope for. I don't want to make you sad as you contemplate your own good bye. But, I will tell you that deciding to have Dr. Crawford, with CodaPed, in home pet euthanasia is one of the best decisions I've made for my Greta. Dr Crawford was on time, and very caring. The moment he arrived at my home in his uniform and with a kind smile in his expression, I knew I'd made the right choice. He petted her and spent time getting to know her, he gave me time with her, he allowed me to shower her with all my love, and when the time was right, my little little baby started snoring in her bed and shortly after she crossed her rainbow bridge. I can honestly say it was the most peaceful transition I've ever seen. I am extremely grateful I was able to do that for her. I thank CodaPet for allowing me to get in touch with a compassionate being as Dr. Crawford. Thank you so much for being there for me and my baby. I know she is at peace and no longer in pain now, that comforts me. In home pet euthanasia with Dr. John Crawford is the right choice. (Thank you for being there for us.)
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.
