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.

Very kind and empathetic. Answers questions and has a warm personality and tone of voice. She also did the cutest set up of my cat bundled up after when I wasn't sure if I wanted to look or not and I'm glad I did, she looked peaceful and like herself

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!

Dr. Stukey helped tremendously on one of the most difficult days of my life. She listened to me and validated me and my experience with her could not have been better given the upsetting circumstances. She is beyond compassionate and treated me and my pet with the highest level of care possible. I am so grateful that I found her and that she came to my aid. I would highly recommend her to others.

Review by Dr. Kirsten Stukey

Our loving girl, Mochi, had started to show signs of canine cognitive dysfunction earlier in the year and as the months passed, it became evident that her quality of life was declining and she was ready to cross the rainbow bridge. She gave us an amazing 14 years of love, laughter, and joy. We wanted to give her the most beautiful peaceful transition that we could and are so grateful to Vets like Dr. Kirsten Stukey at Codapet that offer the wonderful service of at home pet euthanasia. This is the work of earth angels. I don't have the words to express how grateful we are for the amount of care and compassion given at this challenging time of grief. In her last days, Mochi had begun to have seizures and this created a greater urgency in an effort to limit her suffering and we were so grateful for the responsiveness of Dr. Stukey to our questions and the scheduling flexibility of CodaPet to allow us to move up our appointment. Having enough time to say goodbye in the comfort of your own home is such an amazing privilege. Thank you to the wonderful professionals like Dr. Stukey who make this possible.

Dr. Stukey was extremely caring and compassionate, which truly helped make this a much less traumatic event. She carefully explained every step, and took the time needed to make it as comfortable as possible for her pet patient and for me. I'm very appreciative of what I would call her 'personalized professionalism' during a very difficult time.
