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

We needed to say goodbye to our 13.5 y/o dog, Chloe, at home. She declined very quickly between Christmas & NY & could no longer walk. We were afraid the holiday would cause delays, & didn't want her to suffer. CodaPet made the process much easier by having Vet credentials & appt times posted. Hard as it is to say goodbye, doing so at home was so much better. Dr. Katharyn Hart was extremely professional, patient, & compassionate. Highly recommend this service.

While calling for this service is always hard, I deeply appreciate the opportunity it gives to us pet parents to be able to say goodbye in a place where our pets are comfortable and calm. Dr. Hart is an amazing person. She was so calm and had a soothing energy about her. She truly made the whole experience as good as it can possibly be. Thank you Dr. Hart.❤️

We were so sad to say goodbye to our dog Winnie, but Dr. Hart made the experience so loving and warm in our home. It’s truly a gift to allow your pet to say goodbye in the comfort of their home and with their people. Dr. Hart sat with us on the floor, comforted our dog with us, and just held an open warm space for us to say goodbye. We feel very blessed to have had the opportunity to do this at home and with Dr. Hart’s support.

My family and I felt comfortable and supported as we said goodbye to our family member Leia. Dr. Hart really was perfect in helping us say goodbye. I am thankful she was the vet that we chose.

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

I can’t thank Dr Hart enough for coming to my house on a weekend evening to help our Kodi cross the rainbow bridge. When I first contacted the service they were extremely informative and empathetic. I was able to get an appointment time within 24 hours and they did a great job keeping me informed until they arrived. Dr Hart was compassionate and professional. Having her come to our home allowed Kodi to remain comfortable in his safe environment until the very end. I highly recommend their service to anyone who unfortunately has to experience their fur baby’s passing.
