Verified Veterinarian
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 very compassionate and gave us ample time to say goodbye to our beloved dog, Beethoven. He was calm and gentle and made a difficult and emotional experience less stressful. Dr. Crawford also personally returned Beethoven’s ashes to us, He clearly cares about our pet and our grief in this moment. Thank you for peace and closure. May God bless you for providing this service to those in need.
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.
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.
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 felt God sent Dr Crawford to us during this difficult time. He was such a patient, kind, professional with just a calm demeanor. I’ve never met anyone like him and have already recommended him to a friend who is waiting for the right time to say goodbye for her older dog. I hope I can use him in the future with my other two dogs. He’s the very best person for this job. I can’t say enough good about him!!"
