Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

I decided that becoming a vet was my calling at a very young age after I became obsessed with horses, cats, and dogs. I determined early on that becoming a vet would be the best way to spend my days with animals. As a veterinarian, I have had the opportunity to euthanize my own animals at home and felt like that was the best gift I could give them. Knowing how much it meant to my own pets helped me to realize the importance of giving pets a peaceful passing at home.

What pet parents are saying

She was perfect during my most painful crisis. I couldn't even look at her when she arrived. I opened the door to let her in, locked myself in my office where I fell asleep crying and she took care of everything without making me witness images I would never be able to erase. She was professional, non judgemental and empathetic which is exactly what I needed at the time.

Dr. Hart was wonderful and handled all my young kids curious questions. I was torn on my kids, 6 and 8, being present and just taking him to a vet but so glad I did it at our home as they were able to say their final goodbyes. I can’t imagine just putting him in the car and leaving and coming back home and then having to deal with all those questions myself. Thank you again!!!

Dr. Hart was compassionate and skilled in easing our sweet Ellie Mae through the end of her life. We will be forever grateful to her and CodaPet for making it possible for us to say goodbye to her in our home.

Dr. Hart was very nice and showed true compassion towards my sad decision to let my beloved fur baby Darla go. We both knew it was time. Quite professional! Thank you for being so kind. Geri Seay

Dr Hart was compassionate and held space on such a difficult day. Her immediate response to me was much appreciated when I reached out late at night for a next morning appointment. Thank you, Dr. Hart!!! We appreciate you!!
