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.

Dr. Hart was great, very kind and compassionate. She made Curly's departure as painless and as peaceful as possible, for him and for me.

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.

Dr. Hart was so kind, thoughtful and empathetic. Her calm, caring demeanor made a difficult decision easier to handle. She allowed me to grieve my way and take as much time as I needed. I will definitely recommend Dr. Hart to any of my friends who may have to go through this.

Review by Dr. Katharyn Hart

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.

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.
