Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
I have always wanted to be a veterinarian, but my experiences with my senior heart dog, Arya, are what really made me passionate about end-of-life care and caring for senior pets.

What pet parents are saying
Dr. Kelli was phenomenal with both my daughter and her pet. It was a beautiful heartbreaking event that gave us peace and we knew we were doing the right thing for our pet. The attention to detail and the follow up visit was perfect. Thank you!
She is very responsive and sensitive to a pet parents’ needs. She gave us all the support throughout the tough times we have experienced while caring for our beloved pal, Flash.
Dr Kelli Bays was the exact doctor we needed for Gracie. She was perfect! Her gentle and calm demeanor, her ability to understand what Gracie and we needed at this difficult time, were priceless. She explained every step without making us feel that she is hurrying through a process . She took her time and she gave Gracie a peaceful goodbye. We are ever grateful for her service and codapet. Saying goodbye to a beloved animal, family member is never easy , but with Dr Kelli we felt that our Gracie was in the best hands possible.
Why is it that the kindest thing you can do for your pet is probably the hardest decision you will have to make? I have had to go down this road too many times and on October 21st I had to do this again for my 14 year old Maltese mix. I knew we would make the transition happen at home and I was so fortunate to find Dr. Kelli Bales, DVM. Her gentleness and compassion and kindness were exactly what I needed to make this peaceful for my best buddy. She even brought a special treat for him to enjoy as a final desert. I am forever grateful for Dr. Bays.
Dr. Kelli came to our home with the utmost respect, compassion and respect. It was a blessing to be able to keep our Charlie at home surrounded by love...... Thank you Dr. Kelli for being so empathetic and caring to our Charlie....
Dr. Bays was an excellent choice for us. She is professional, kind and sympathetic. She listened to my family talk about our dear cat, and didn't rush us but allowed us to share. The process was thoroughly explained to us, and she did her job with gentleness and compassion. This was a really hard decision for us to make, but we as family, felt so much better after her reassurances. She clearly truly loves animals and was the perfect doctor for us.
