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
Kirsten was very compassionate, professional, and kind. I couldn’t have asked for a better vet to help me with one of the worst times of my life. It was heartbreaking to lose my dog, but it was peaceful and loving. I am grateful to Kirsten and would definitely recommend her to family and friends in this difficult situation.
Kirsten provided compassionate, professional care in our home. Her kind and thoughtful approach was absolutely the way to go. If needing this service, you will not be disappointed. I highly recommend her.
This was such an overall caring and thoughtful experience. Dr. Stukey is the whole package -- skilled and professional, but also warm and kind.
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! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
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.
We've euthanized our pets in the vets office and it wasn't pleasant. Saying goodbye to your furry babies at home makes the process easier. Our other dogs were able to also say goodbye and witness our boys passing. It is a great service and Dr. Stukey was very compassionate.
Kristen was an angel at the time we needed one most. She came in to our house and reassured us we were making the right decision. We will always be grateful for her intervention at a time that we were so vulnerable.
Dr. Kirsten Stukey was professional and understanding. She did not rush time spent with our dog and made the experience as easy as it could be. Our Cooper went surround by love without an ounce of fear. He got be to be comfortable in his home. I would recommend Dr. Stukey highly.
Dr. Kirsten Stukey was so kind and informative through the whole process. We chose in home euthanasia for our dog because we did not want to cause more stress, pain, and anxiety taking him to the office in the end, since it was never his favorite car ride. She helped to create a peaceful good-bye.
It was very difficult to make the decision to put my fifteen year old pup Lucy to sleep. Dr. Stukey provided in-home euthanasia with the utmost care, compassion, empathy and respect for both me and my girl Lucy. On one of the saddest days of my life, Dr. Stukey was a true blessing. Dr. Stukey was an angel when I really needed one. I will always be grateful for the loving way that she handled a truly difficult situation. Thanks again.
We are so very glad we chose to do in-home pet euthanasia, especially with Dr. Stukey. She was very respectful and made sure everyone was comfortable throughout the process, especially our sweet pup. We wanted an intimate moment with our sweet Sammy, and doing this at home where we could take our time was priceless. We wouldn’t have done it any other way.
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 was so caring and compassionate. Never an easy experience helping a pet cross the rainbow bridge and we are so happy Dr Stukey was with us.
Last month we said goodbye to our precious 17 year-old dachshund, Lucy. After seeing an online post telling of their own personal experience with home euthanasia, we knew that would be an excellent choice for us as well. We had Dr. Kirsten Stukey, with CodaPet, come to our home. Our primary concern was to not add any more anxiety than necessary for Lucy and Dr. Stukey was perfect in every way. We reached out on their website, she quickly responded, and our appointment was set. She arrived promptly and met our little girl. Dr. Stukey explained how she would do things, and made sure she answered all of our questions. I was happy that I could hold Lucy throughout the entire process, it was so peaceful. Dr. Stukey is the most compassionate, gentle, caring individual, just what you want when having to say your last goodbye. I highly recommend Dr. Stukey if you ever need this service.
Dr. Stukey made a very sad situation a little more bearable. She was so kind, caring, and gentle with the procedure. I can’t thank her enough for treating my Kloe with care and compassion in her final moments.
Kirsten was wonderful, gracious, patient, knowledgeable and so caring for our dog and our family. She took her time informing us and helping our pet through their end of life in such a beautiful, dignified and compassionate way. When we have the need for these services in the future, we will remember and come back to Kirsten for this peaceful and deeply personal experience. Thank you, Kirsten.
Dr. Stukey was amazing. I truly believe there needs to be more vets like her. She was genuine, caring and respectful. It wasn’t just a job for her and for that we are forever grateful! Thank you
Dr. Stukey was very professional with taking care of Nate (12.5 years) to help ease his pain. He was our baby before we had two boys. She went above and beyond to further assist me with carrying Nate Dogg to his final, earthly resting place. I recommend their services.
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.
When I called CodaPet, the greeting I received from the vet-tech scheduler was warm and kind. She was thorough in gathering information from me to start the request for services, and explained the process and pricing, etc. She was very good at helping me. (CodaPet is the most reasonably priced service in the Dallas-Metro area, and Dr. Stucky doesn't charge a travel fee if within their large service area, as most companies do.) She told me about Dr. Kirsten Stucky, the professional, loving, intelligent and kind vet who came to my home and helped me send my 8-yr-old catmate to heaven (He was that good a little being...😻! ) Dr. Stukey knows her stuff. She was focussed on calming and respectfully easing Emmett into his death, and he had only a short time of fear, because she is so adept at seamslessly doing the procedure. She was VERY attentive to me, my wishes and my well being. I can't imagine a more well suited veterinarian to help critters and animal parents through such a difficult time. She truly is a blessing to our community of animal lovers. I wish she were MY doctor, really. Janet Gillespie
Dr. Stukey made an incredibly hard day so much easier. She spent some time petting and loving on our furbaby and made sure we were completely ready for the process to begin. We got to hold our pup as he peacefully drifted into sedation then crossed over the rainbow bridge. The way she snuggled him up in a sweet basket to take him to his final resting was so loving. We are so glad we chose CodaPet and Dr. Stukey.
Dr. Stukey was gentle with Buddy and very compassionate with our family. Buddy passed pain-free and quietly on to God's green pasture. Thank you, Dr. Stukey. Buddy was particularly treasured by me. I'm glad he was in your hands.
Dr. Stukey had a kind, thoughtful, and compassionate presence. She sat with us and made sure we had all the time we needed to say goodbye to our friend. Allowing our pet to pass at home was a huge comfort to us and I’m sure to her too. Can’t say enough about how highly I’d recommend Dr. Stukey to anyone in a similar situation.
Dr. Kirsten Stukey was the comfort and guide we needed to give our last bit of love to our baby sunshine. In the middle of the night our dog was having majot issues after a week of a down turn of her health. Our vet suggested she would only have days to live. That night at 1am she let me know she was ready to go and I knew I wanted it to be at home. I found Coda pet and Dr. Kristen through a Google search and was able to set an appointment for the same day and received confirmation by 2am. Dr. Stukey made text contact with me that day and arrived on time. She was so gentle and kind to both my fiance and I and our pup. Payment is arranged through the site so you don't need to worry about any of that during the process. Our baby peacefully crossed the rainbow bridge. We were given plenty of time during the process to say our goodbyes. I held my pup on my lap as she passed. She then gently took our pup with her in a beautiful basket to be cremated. I cannot recommend Dr. Stukey enough and will always to all I know. This was one of the most painful events of my life and Dr. Stukey guided us and provided comfort. For that alone, I'll forever remember her.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Dr. Stukey was extremely kind and gentle with our Preston. He was never nervous or upset in any way. It was a very peaceful experience for us all.
This service provided my sweet girl to pass while in my arms at home. The doctor was gentle, caring and exactly what we needed at this difficult time.
Dr Stukey and her care of my pup, Sally, made such a hard day more peaceful. I really can’t thank her enough for her kindness, compassion, patience, and professionalism.
She was absolutely wonderful and considerate while helping us. She helped us feel a little more confident about our decision using her expertise. Unfortunately, it really was Nala's time to go. Dr. Kristen did a great job at doing it peacefully for both us and Nala.
Dr Stukey was amazing, it was a very difficult decision we had to make, and it was the right one, but it hurt all the same. Dr Stukey came in very professional, handled my 3 year and 6 year olds questions like a pro. She made us all comfortable and guided us through the process and was right there with us when we grieved. I’m a talker and I could not get a single word out at the time, but growing through our 20s into our 30s with our dog was such an amazing time, and Apollo was the greatest dog. The great white wolf, the protector, the goof ball. I’ll miss you forever old man. Also, as I’ve aged, I’ve learned to let go and really cry, once me and my brother in law loaded Apollo up, dr Stukey turned to me and in all my sobbing asked to give me a hug, and I just thought sure that’s what people do, and I am so thankful, I didn’t realize how much I needed that hug and I’m not a hugger and I balled even harder. Thank you for that. I’ll always remember that.
Dr. Kirsten was so patient, compassionate, and understanding with us during the most difficult time. I would recommend her to any of my friends or family who are going through the hard decision of putting a dear pet down.
Dr. Stukey helped me and my little Dante through an incredibly difficult and sad day. He was suffering, and he was in dire need of relief. She was so kind and patient and just a calming presence for the both of us. We never want that day to come, but I highly recommend Dr. Stukey when that time comes.
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.
Dr. Stukey was compassionate, kind and professional in the saddest of circumstances. We are thankful that our sweet girl passed peacefully at home.
Dr. Stukey was so amazingly kind, patient, and caring! She created such a gentle way to say goodbye during a very difficult experience. If you are finding yourself at the tough position of having to say goodbye to a beloved pet, she is the vet to help your loved one cross the bridge. ♥️
We’ve lost 2 babies in the last 8 months and the only thing that made it easier was knowing that we could could help ease their suffering at home surrounded by all their fur siblings and the people who love them! We will always do at home euthanasia moving forward. It’s easier for everyone involved and it was so peaceful and private. Dr. Stukey is an incredible doctor and an even more incredible human. She’s helped us now twice and you can tell she cares about your babies just as much as you do. It was truly a gift to say goodbye this way!
Dr. Kirsten was kind when she came to our home to help our sweet Scooter cross the Rainbow bridge. She was patient and gracious. When we have to do this again, I hope she is the vet that comes to my home. Thank you so much for helping us during such a difficult and emotional time.
I can't say enough good things about our experience with Dr. Kirsten Stukey. She was prompt in reaching out and scheduling was very easy. No detail was overlooked as far as making this a smooth transition and being respectful during such a hard time. She was the right balance of somber and personable. Everything was such a good experience for such a bad time. I can't thank her enough for coming in and just making such a hard thing a little more peaceful.
I highly recommend CodaPet. Dr. Stukey was so very comforting during a difficult time. I appreciated her and the in-home service very much.
It is always a very hard decision to help a good doggo over the bridge, but it was the right one, and Dr. Stukey is very compassionate and kind, which made the process much easier to handle. I highly recommend her.
Dr. Stukey was so kind and supportive of us when we lost our sweet boy Cooper. Having her there with us made a huge difference and we are very grateful that we found her, and that she was able to take care of Coop in such a kind and thoughtful way. My husband and I would highly recommend her.
Saying goodbye to a pet is difficult and painful. The Doctor that came to our house via CodaPet was compassionate and gentle. She got down on the floor with our elderly dog and loved on him just as we do. She explained the whole process and gave us all the time we needed between steps. It was such a blessing for him to be at home in his usual sleeping spot when he passed. I can’t say enough about the ease of scheduling services and the care with which they were administered with the CodaPet providers. A huge shout out to Dr. Kirsten.
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
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
We are deeply grateful to Dr. Stukey for the compassionate care and kindness she showed during one of the most difficult moments our family has faced. Saying goodbye to our cherished dog, Archer, was heartbreaking, but being able to do so at home made all the difference for Archer and us. Dr. Stukey approached every step with gentleness, empathy, and patience. She explained everything clearly, gave us all the time we needed, and treated Archer with the dignity and love he deserved. One detail that meant so much to us was the way she prepared a cozy, respectful space for Archer’s final journey—complete with a cute blanket, soft pillows and silk flowers. It was beautiful and deeply moving. Her quiet, respectful presence brought comfort in a moment filled with sorrow. It takes a special kind of person to do this work with such grace and heart. We will never forget how she helped ease Archer’s passing, allowing him to leave us peacefully, surrounded by love and familiarity. Thank you, Dr. Stukey, for helping us say goodbye in the most meaningful and compassionate way possible.
Kirsten was so wonderful with us during this tragic situation. She checked our sweet girl to ensure we were making the right decision and gave us peace that we had done everything possible to save our sweet girl! Thank you for your patience and caring during this difficult time.
Dr. Kirsten was totally amazing! She was super compassionate. She was kind and calm with me and my sweet dog Emma. She gave us the time we needed together. And she gave me the time at the end that I needed to hold Emma. And then she allowed me to carry Emma in a basket out to her car. She was incredibly kind, empathetic and professional! I would recommend her to all of my friends and family. She made a very difficult situation more comfortable. I very much appreciate her.
Dr. Stukey truly embodied what it means to be a compassionate professional. We are deeply grateful for the care and kindness shown by her as it truly helped us through one of the hardest moments we’ve ever faced. Our 15-year-old Boston terrier, Harley, needed to say goodbye and I don’t think anyone is ever ready to let go. We are deeply grateful for the care and kindness shown by her. She approached the situation with such compassion.She blended empathy, sympathy, and a calm presence that made us feel supported and understood during this difficult time. Her gentle approach provided a sense of peace, both for Harley and for us, and we couldn’t have asked for a more compassionate professional to guide us through it. We’ll forever be thankful for her emotional intelligence and care in helping us say goodbye to our best friend and fur baby.
Losing our beloved labrador was one of the toughest things we’ve had to go through as a family. Dr Stukey could not have been kinder through the whole process. As much as we miss our sweet girl, we take comfort in the fact that she had the most peaceful passing possible. After all she gave to us, it was the least we could do for her. Thank you Dr. Stukey for your kindness and compassionate care for our girl.
Dr. Kirsten Stukey was gentle, compassionate and caring from the moment she entered our home. Our experience with her under difficult and emotional circumstances was nothing but comforting. Even our dog seemed to sense that we were in the presence of an angel. I highly recommend her.
She was very compassionate and patient with the current situation in every way she was trying to give us comfort with our pet. I appreciate her coming in and helping our baby to pass in our home with family.
OMG, God could not have sent a better person than Dr. Kirsten Stukey. We were an emotional wreck and in pain beyond belief. She was so compassionate and understanding. She explained everything clearly, allowed us to take our time, and helped us understand how everything would work. We were able to keep our beloved Millie at home in the living room she loved, surrounded by her brother Dax and those who loved her. I am grateful and thankful beyond belief. I truly believe that giving up coffee, lunches, and dinners so that your dog can pass in the home they love and grew up in is the only way to go—not in a cold vet’s office. I am eternally grateful for this angel called Dr. Stukey. She is an angel and a saint to all dogs she encounters. We are grateful and blessed for the service Dr. Stukey provided. This was the most painful experience of my life, and Dr. Stukey made it so much easier by allowing us to do it at home.
I would highly recommend CodaPet for anyone having to make the difficult decision for their pet. Dr. Stukey came and made us feel instantly comfortable and reassuring that we were making the right choice for our sweet Penny. She went peacefully and I will be forever thankful to Dr. Stukey for her care.
Dr Kirsten showed the upmost compassion while being very professional, we could tell Dr. Kirsten really cares for her patients and their families, Dr. Kirsten has a sweet spirit, which is very comforting during these times.
Dr. Kirsten Stuky is a very caring vet. My 225 lb Mastiff could not stand up because his hips gave out. He was 11 which is old for a Mastiff. She came to my house to euthanize him. She was kind and gentle to him and he slipped away peacefully. None of the other vets I called would take care of him because of his size. Dr Kirsten made it work. She drove him to the crematorium and texted to reassure me that she had checked him one more time to make sure he had passed. I had asked her to do that and she did even though she knew he was gone. I would use her again. She calmed a traumatic situation.
She was so incredible. This was our teens first pet death and she took the time to explain what would happen. She gave them and us plenty of time to say goodbye, give kisses and feel ready. In a situation no one wants to find themselves, her kindness and care made it so we have warm memories of saying goodbye to our dog.
Dr. Stukey was kind, compassionate, and patient during a very difficult day for our family. She gave us the gift of a peaceful and quiet end to a life that was precious to us. My boy passed gently and painlessly surrounded by everyone he loved.
Dr. Stukey was very kind and patient with our family as we went through the process of saying good bye to our sweet girl. She had treats for Sierra, loved on her, and listened to our stories. I would highly recommend Dr. Stukey to take care of your precious pet.
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 ❤️
My family and I are so grateful for Dr. Kristen. She was able to come out the same day we made the painful decision that it was time to put our beloved Percy to sleep. She came at 7pm on a Friday night so we could all be there with him at the end. He was a very anxious dog who didn't like strangers. But she was so gentle and careful with him (and with us) that she won over his trust. His passing was peaceful surrounded by love. This type of home service is not cheap, but it was worth it for the comfort and peace of being in his own home for his last moments. And compared to similar home service companies, it was extremely reasonable.
Dr Stukey was FANTASTIC! I cannot say enough great things about her. She was knowlegable, calm and very good with our cat. This was my 25 year old daughters cat that she had since she was 5 or 6 and it was the first time she has had today goodby to a Pet . Dr Stukey answered all of her questions, and was SO compassionate and caring. If you have to say goodbye to your Pet I would strongly reccomend Dr Stukey!!!! A+++++++ She even has her trunk decorated and has a sweet basket for your beloved Pet.
Dr. Stuckey was extremely sensitive to our situation in losing our family dog. He was extremely sick and unable to walk anymore. Her bedside manner during our worst hour and caring handwritten letter of her condolences afterwards were surprising and truly appreciated. We have never been more grateful and will always try to use her services again for any of our pet needs. While heartbreaking, it was by far the best experience we've had with the passing of a loved pet.
Dr. Stukey was so very kind and gentle with our dear dog. She was respectful and knew how hard this was for our family as we lost the only pet we have ever had.
Kirsten was incredible in every way. The days leading up, she texted words of encouragement and provided information that was so incredibly. I cannot imagine a smoother experience. It didn’t take away our pain, but we felt so well cared for throughout. This was so, so much harder than we ever imagined, but Kirsten was key in making such a difference for us.
Kirsten was so kind and compassion during such a difficult time. She allowed my family and I as much time as we needed to say goodbye both before and after. She talked us through the process and made sure we were ready with each step. I’m so grateful that we were able to send my baby off in our own home, surrounded by people who loved him and who he loved back.
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. Stukey was absolutely amazing. She gave us the time we needed to say goodbye to our 15-year-old Jack Russell. She showed so much compassion, which is exactly what we needed when making this tough decision. I highly recommend Dr. Stukey. She was definitely a blessing to us!
When the time came to say goodbye to our sweet husky, we knew we wanted to do it at home. This proved to be the best case scenario for this heartbreaking experience. Dr. Kirsten Stukey was so kind and compassionate. She gave us all the time we needed and ensured that our dog was fast asleep before performing the final procedure. I highly recommend Dr. Stukey’s at home service when this sad time comes.
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.
I was able to quickly schedule an appointment with Dr. Stuckey. She was very responsive and caring. Could not have asked for any better situation in such a difficult time. She was amazing! Highly recommend!
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.
Dr.Kirsten Stukey happened to be a godsend for our family last Friday through Codapet. My wife and I were very hesitant on deciding when we will ask for pet euthanasia because we really thought Gala (our almost 13yr old German Shepherd) will one day just not wake up, and spare us from making this tough choice. Pets are family. For the past couple of months, we just saw that Gala slowly but steadily was getting older and unable to do what she loved. Asking for euthanasia was very hard, but asking for in-home euthanasia was a no brainer for us. Gala loved being at home and was not very happy about a vets office. In-home euthanasia was our no.1 choice Decent pricing and very easy to book online. When Gala saw Dr. Kirsten come inside the house our pup was very calm, and then when she sat next to her our pup exhaled like saying “0h good, you are here”. Kirsten took the time and explained everything to us. The empathy and dedication Kirsten had towards our family was priceless. Caring and loving people like Kirsten is what the world needs when it comes to these services. Small details like treats for Gala, paw impression, and more. I will always remember the beautiful ceremony we all had. This was my first time putting a dog to sleep and I can’t thank her enough for the compassionate experience we had. Plus the ease of booking and communicating with her prior to her arrival. One more thing: You have all the tools to heal your heart and when it’s time, requesting this service can make your pet go peacefully without much suffering. Oh and if you live in the Dallas area, you have Dr. Kirsten Stukey to come help. 💛🐶🤍
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.
