Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
Growing up as early as about 13 years old I loved animals and wanted to work with them to some capacity as part of my career. Once starting college I obtained a job as a veterinary technician assistant and the rest is history. I never saw myself offering In Home Euthanasia as a career within this profession, although a big part of my job on a day to day basis is performing this procedure. It was only after being able to perform this on my own pet in my own home that I was awakened with the huge difference it made and the comfort it offered both myself, my family and my passing pet. After experiencing this I wanted to ensure others in my area had an option like this as this service is not offered in the area I live. I am happy to do so and look forward to allowing other pet parents to benefit from the service.

What pet parents are saying
Josh was wonderfully compassionate and really took the time to walk me through the process before beginning. I can’t imagine a more kind and caring person in these circumstances. He actually cried when it was over. Having him come to my house to help my dog with his passing was the best possible way to make that transition.
I am so deeply greatful for Codapet and DR. Josh. Having the ability to bring my beloved Tucker home to peacefully cross over was what he deserved and without this service it would not have been possible. DR. Josh was helpful, compassionate and professional. I am and will be forever thankful.
Dr. Williams is kind and amazing. It was an honor to have him help our dog make it to the rainbow bridge. He was patient, kind, kept us informed of what exactly was happening, and gave us room to be with our dog exactly as we needed to be with him. We never felt rushed. I honestly can't say enough about Dr. Williams. He is in my phone forevermore because he will be the one sending any further family members home, rather than taking them someplace where they're afraid. Dude got to die surrounded by love, and to that I cannot thank Dr. Williams enough.
We’re incredibly grateful that Josh was there to help our boy peacefully cross over. He took the time to explain everything, and his presence made us feel safe and comforted, even during such an unbearably difficult moment. Given the circumstances, we wouldn’t have wanted to say goodbye any other way. Josh will always hold a special place in our hearts, and we are deeply thankful for his compassion and the gift he gave us.
I only did a consult with Dr. Josh Williams. As of today, my pet is still alive so somehow your paperwork hasn't caught up. I will be calling Dr. Josh, when the time comes to euthanize her. But my review of my consult is that, Dr. Josh, is an excellent vet. He's very caring, professional, and was wonderful with my dog. He has the perfect personality for this job that he does. I wish all vets were like him. I thought I wanted a female, home-visit vet, as my dog likes females better than males, but Dr. Josh, proved me wrong. He was so gentle with my little rescue dog, Bella. I have already recommended him to a couple of my friends.
I was initially hesitant to go with a national company that provides in-home pet euthanasia because I feared the experience would be impersonal. Our experience was anything but that. Dr. Josh Williams was so incredibly caring and compassionate. He helped us understand Leilah’s condition and provided information that helped us in making this difficult decision. He was kind, gentle and patient with my husband and me as we deliberated, and he was equally gentle with our girl Leilah, who left us quietly and peacefully in our arms. Our other dog was able to witness Leilah’s departure, which was much better than Leilah simply disappearing from our home to the vet. Losing Leilah has been hard but I can’t think of a better way to ease her passage. I hope we’ll have our other dog for many more years, but when the time comes, I will definitely be reaching out to Josh again
