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.’

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 made a hard situation a beautiful experience. He helped our sweet dog Shanti feel comfortable and our family to have the space and time to say goodbye in our home with Shanti in her bed. I couldn’t have asked for a more sensitive and supportive Dr to aid our sweet fur baby on her journey home. Thank you Dr Crawford and Codapet
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!
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.
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.
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!
