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

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.

I was so grateful to find Dr. Hart and be able to book an appointment same day. My Cat of 12 beautiful years Meow Meow had been ill and our vet was unable to find out what was causing his illness. I cannot express how grateful I am to have been able to welcome her into our home to lay him to rest rather than taking him to the vet for his final moments. I did not feel judged for crying, she explained everything every step of the way and made sure that Meow Meow was comfortable with her as well before going through with the service. She allowed me to place him in transport myself and even let me walk out to the car to say goodbye before taking him. If you are looking for a peaceful passing with your fur baby I recommend Dr. Hart. I cannot thank her enough for being there for us.

Saying goodbye to a furry family member is NEVER easy. Being able to allow them to go without suffering in the comfort of their home is amazing. Dr. Hart was very professional and friendly and was able to make this event much easier. The price is nearly the same as taking the fur baby to a facility, which makes it affordable, private and very comfortable. I recommend CodaPet (Dr. Hart) when the time comes to say goodbye to your fur babies. Thank You, Dr. Hart

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.

On a very difficult day Dr Hart was so supportive, compassionate and professional. She informed us of the process answered all questions and let us set the timing to ensure our Clohe was as comfortable as possible. That was what was most important to us. She reassured us that we made the right decision at the right time for our Clohe bug.

Our dog Zelda just declined so quickly. It was so nice to be able to do this at home, her happy place, her home. Dr Hart was just so lovely and caring and helpful during this time. And a week later, our pups ashes are home with us. Thank you for helping us Dr Hart.
