Whenever possible, people want to be able to go home from the hospital for their remaining days, to die at home. Families want the same for their pets. As in-home pet euthanasia has finally become a viable option, I knew I could add value to the euthanasia experience because of my veterinary experience and my compassion for those pet parents who are deeply grieved over the loss of their four-legged family member. I see this as my calling, to care for the members of my local community.

We originally had an appointment with another in home euthanasia that was 5 days away and when we knew our beloved Charlie wasn’t going to make it that long I did a google search and found CodaPet and Dr. Karen. It was late at night and I was able to make an appointment for the next day. It is so hard saying goodbye but Dr Karen made it the best it could be. She explained everything and had the best bed side manners. She was so caring and empathetic! I would highly recommend Dr Karen Duncan and CodaPet. Thank you! 🐾🌈
Dr Karen was so kind and compassionate. It was very calming having her come into our home. I would definitely recommend her when this time comes for your pet.
We recently had to say goodbye to our beloved dog, Buddy, and it was one of the hardest days of our lives. We were incredibly fortunate to have such a compassionate and truly wonderful veterinarian come to our home to help him pass peacefully. From the moment Dr. Karen arrived, she showed Buddy and us the deepest kindness patience and respect. She explained everything gently and gave us time to say our goodbyes and created a calm comforting environment so Buddy could leave us in the most peaceful way possible. We are so grateful for the care empathy and professionalism shown during this difficult time. It gave us comfort to know that Buddys last moments were filled with dignity and LOVE! We couldn’t have asked for a better person to guide us through this. Highly recommended to anyone needing this service.
Dr. Karen Duncan was amazing to work with. She made a horrible time very peaceful. She is such a compassionate person who walks you through the process. I highly recommend her services when the need arrives. Thank you Dr. Karen
She was the angel that was meant for us, had some in the beginning when they helped me rescue Nevis from Nevis, but she was the one needed at the end, God bless her, ❤️
Dr. Karen Duncan was extremely compassionate and caring. Her presence was greatly appreciated and very comforting. She was wonderful with our Duchess and made the most difficult decision of pet ownership a little bit easier with her professionalism and genuine concern. Her warm and welcome manner makes you feel comforted during the most stressful and challenging time for the whole family.
