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.

Review by Dr. Katharyn Hart

Dr. Hart was amazing! They were compassionate, empathetic, and non-judgmental. They let me know what ever step of the process was going to be before anything was done, asked if I had questions along the way, and reaffirmed what we were going to do next before we did it. They engaged me in conversation at my pace and I did not feel rushed at all through the processes. We only took the next step when I felt me and my fur baby were ready. You will be absolutely lucky if Dr. Hart comes to your home to assist you and your fur baby in their passing.

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.

Review by Dr. Katharyn Hart

Katharyn came on an urgent basis and I was so grateful for that. She was professional, kind, answered all my questions, and helped reassure me that our friend Phoenix wasn't experiencing any pain through the process. She was patient with me, as I wasnt thinking at my best. I very much appreciated her services.

Dr. Hart was great and the experience could not have been more peaceful. This was a very painful day for me but Dr. Hart did not rush me and I had plenty of time to comfort my baby and say goodbye. She explained the process and told me what she was doing and what to expect for each step. I highly recommend her and it was worth every penny to be able to give my girl a peaceful passing.

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.
