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

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.

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.

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.

Dr. Hart is a very caring and compassionate Dr. She understood the urgency of our needs and she went out of her way to accommodate us with an appointment. Even though this is a very painful experience, she understands and it makes all the difference to be able to make your pet comfortable in their home.

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 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.
