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 help my dog to cross over the rainbow bridge very peacefully. She was able to do a same day visit. She was kind and empathetic and treated us both with respect and love. She even cried with me during the procedure. My dog didn’t experience any pain or discomfort. I recommend her 100%.

We recently had to say goodbye to our beloved cat, and I can’t express how grateful I am for the care we received. Dr. Stukey was incredibly compassionate and gentle from start to finish. She explained every step of the process in a calm, reassuring way and made sure Allie was comfortable and at peace. Even though it was one of the hardest days of our lives, she made it feel as dignified and loving as possible. I truly could not have asked for a better experience under such heartbreaking circumstances.

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.

We lost our beloved fur baby after eleven years together. Dr. Stuckey texted me numerous times during the day to ask for feedback and throughly explained everything. My dog was very much our protector and taking him somewhere to be put to doggy eternity was out of the question. She was so patient with our request with our baby. In such a sad time she made it so calm for Charlie and my family . He was able to pass in his home surrounded by his loved ones . She was absolutely remarkable!! I will forever hold her in my heart ❤️

Dr. Stukey was extremely communicative which I appreciated. She was very respectful and allowed us time to say goodbye to our sweet girl on our own time and terms. This was an extremely difficult day for our family and for our girl to go in peace in her own bed, surrounded by her family meant a lot to me. We appreciate this service so much.

Although this decision is a tough one to make, know that this is an act of selflessness; to give your fur baby peace and comfort in their last moments is love. I hope that when you read this message it will reassure you that you and your fur baby will be in good hands with Dr. Kirsten Stukey. Everything happened so fast for us, and I am thankful that we landed someone with compassion and gentleness during this difficult period.
