Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
I became a veterinarian to make a meaningful difference in the lives of animals and their families, offering comfort, healing, and support through every stage of their journey. I chose to offer in-home euthanasia because I believe it provides the most compassionate, stress-free way for pets to pass in familiar surroundings, surrounded by love.

What pet parents are saying
Dr. Katie Todd was very sympathetic, supportive and thoughtful throughout the entire process. She gave us all the time we needed to be with our sweet girl before and after she passed. Would recommend her to anyone who has so go through this difficult time.
Faced the difficult decision to euthanize our beloved 18 year old Papillon and used Codapet to do it in our home as our dog hated to go to the vet. Dr. Katie Todd arrived and explained in detail the process, gave us plenty of time to say our goodbyes, and made the process as easy as possible. She was very reassuring to my children that we had made the right decision and explained all the options for taking care of the remains and provided us with keepsakes to ease the family’s pain. Thank you so much Dr.Todd in doing what has to be one of the world’s toughest jobs!
She was very kind and understanding of the situation. She gave us plenty of time for us to say our goodbyes. She didn't treat Camry just like another number and that means a lot.
Dr. Todd was very kind and gentle with our little Peanut, and respectful of our grief. She carefully explained everything that would happen and gave us as much time as we needed to be with him before and after. She made his passing much more peaceful for him, especially since she came to our home so he didn't have to experience another trip to the vet's office.
Dr. Todd came to my house on Saturday night at 8pm to euthanized my cat Buddy. Original appointment was scheduled for Sunday at 845 AM. Dr Todd texted me to see if she needed to cone sooner. I told her that would be better although Buddy would have been OK until the next morning Dr Todd explained the process to me as this was my first in home euthanasia experience despite having put many dogs and cats to sleep at a vet. Buddy absolutely hated going to the vet so I was not going to do that to him. He died peacefully at home I would say if you can spend the extra money for in home euthanasia, its money we'll spent. I am forever grateful to Dr Todd for coming to the house sooner than what was scheduled. I will certainly request her again when needed. Thanks again Dr Todd
I really appreciate the time Katie spent answering my texts prior to Yogi passing. She helped me feel sure of the decision to euthanize and helped me feel comfortable knowing when it was the right time. Ironically, Yogi passed away naturally while I was signing the forms the day he was to be euthanized. Katie had just arrived less than 5 minutes before. She offered to perform post-death care and paw prints, but we opted to do that ourselves. Even though we ultimately didn’t require her services, her kindness and knowledge of what was happening really helped us get through a very sad time. We would recommend Katie to anyone faced with the same difficult situation.
