Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

Being a vet was a childhood dream that started when I was about 4 years old. I started to develop a strong interest in senior pets and end of life care during vet school. I loved the human animal bond and felt so much reward from being able to walk with owners through their pet's later stages of life. I grew up with a little Westie named Maxie. She was my constant companion through grade school and started living with me when I went to vet school. I was her sole caregiver during her "senior years" until I made the decision to say goodbye to her when she was 17 years old. I was a vet at the time and had the gift of having my colleague being able to come to my home. I said goodbye to Maxie surrounded by friends in the comfort of our home. I wish everyone had the opportunity to say goodbye to their furry family members where so many of their memories are made and where they feel most comfortable.

What pet parents are saying

Dr. Kirsten Stukey was assigned to us. She was calm, professional, and compassionate. Our experience was the absolute best it could be considering the circumstances. My thanks to her and CodaPet for helping us get through this step.

Review by Dr. Kirsten Stukey

I had to say goodbye to my 10-year-old Great Dane, Hendrix, in September. I knew I wanted him to be at home, surrounded by his favorite people and as comfortable as possible. This is still a little fresh, so I won’t recount the entire experience, but I feel extremely fortunate that we ended up with Dr. Stukey. She was incredibly professional and considerate. She explained every step before proceeding and always made sure we were ready. Hendrix was often shy around new people, but he took to her immediately. He was calm and comfortable, and everything went as peacefully as I could have hoped for.

Dr. Stukey was truly amazing. Putting down our beloved dog had me an emotional mess and Dr. Stukey handled everything with so much patience and compassion. She explained everything great and it shows she truly cares. When hearing about the condition of our dog, she was able to come much quicker than the appointment slot, which meant a lot to us. I highly highly recommend her!

Kirsten was awesome! It was very easy to feel at ease with her being here, very compassionate, and took the passing at our pace and didn’t rush it. She explained everything in detail! You can tell she is very much connected with what she is doing with compassion. Kirsten was beyond amazing! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Dr. Stukey was so kind and her services allowed us to say goodbye to our aged senior dog with a degenerative neurological condition in a comfortable place. At the end getting her into the car and to the vet was a stressful experience for her. We are so glad she peacefully left us and very grateful for CodaPet and Dr. Stukey.
