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.

I highly recommend Dr. Kirsten Stukey for in home pet euthanasia. Our beloved dog was in bad shape and she was able to come sooner than the scheduled appointment. She was incredibly patient, understanding, and kind when I was an emotional mess. She truly cares and it shows. I highly recommend

Review by Dr. Kirsten Stukey

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.

After 18 wonderful years with my sweet Tinker, it was finally time to say goodbye. A year earlier, I had spoken with my vet about when and how to make this decision, knowing the day would eventually come. After managing kidney failure, hyperthyroidism, and other health issues for as long as we could, her body began to give out. We called CodaPet at 5 p.m. on a Tuesday for an emergency in-home euthanasia appointment, knowing in our hearts that Tinker wouldn’t make it through the night. The receptionist was compassionate and professional—she helped finalize the payment and offered keepsake options. Dr. Kristen Stukey stayed in touch with us about her arrival time and arrived just three hours after our call. Dr. Kristen and the CodaPet team made an incredibly difficult experience as peaceful and gentle as it could possibly be. For such a heartbreaking day, I have no regrets about making that call. This is such a challenging field—one that demands deep empathy and strength—and I’m incredibly grateful for the love and care they showed. With so much love, thank you.

Kirsten definitely handled the experience with kindness, love and patience. I feel very fortunate that Diamond was able to make her transition from the comfort of her own surroundings. It was a very peaceful event. Thank you very much, Glenn.
