Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
I saw Veterinary Medicine as the perfect field for combining my love of medicine with agriculture. While in private practice, I realized I had great compassion and empathy for those facing end-of-life decisions with their beloved pets. Privileged to perform a handful of in-home euthanasias while in practice, I was excited to learn of CodaPet’s mission to provide a peaceful, dignified passing for pets in the comfort of their own homes. I see euthanasia as the final gift an owner can give their pet, and having experienced having to put her own animals down, I know that being able to do so in a calm, peaceful setting is of paramount importance. I am excited to be able to offer this service to those in the Clarksville and surrounding areas.

What pet parents are saying
After 12 wonderful years, our family was devastated to learn our furry loved one was leaving us due to kidney disease that was progressing rapidly. I'm a matter of 6 weeks, he went from a very vocal, 9lb, playful, active, loving 12 year old cat to an unrecognizable, 5lb, lethargic, weak, silent, disoriented, sad little guy that was clearly in a lot of pain. He had started having back-to-back seizures, it broke our hearts to have to witness the scared confusion he was going through and watch him wither away. It was a call I never thought I'd have to make and would never wish on anyone. Kristi Thompson was so amazing, kind, considerate and so gentle with our sweet baby, Stash. She had even sat down with my daughter to help clean Stash up and because we didn't have the money for the extra stuff like paw prints and clay print but my daughter had the supplies, Mrs Thompson assisted my daughter in making some of her own. The Compassion this young woman showed us was beyond our expectations and we are so grateful. Highly recommend
There is nothing easy about letting a pet go, but I feel so lucky to have been able to provide my baby with in home pet euthanasia. Dr. Thompson helped us free our baby from pain while she was home, comfy and secure. We will love you forever & always, Darling Doodle.
Dr. Thompson was compassionate, thoughtful, and so gentle with our Huckleberry. She provided such comfort to our family during the visit. We are so very grateful that it was Dr. Thompson that laid our sweet Huck to rest.
I cannot describe how grateful I am to Dr. Thompson. Choosing to say goodbye to my most cherished friend was a choice I had hoped I'd never have to make, but she walked us through the process and kept our spirits up. When it came time, her words allowed me to proceed with no doubts. Mittens, my cat of 18 years was calm through it all, and was treated with such dignity and warmth. A peaceful release was the final gift I hoped to give to her, and Dr. Thompson made that possible.
Dr. Thompson is a very compassionate and thorough vet. This is such a difficult moment for pet parents and she makes it bearable with kind empathy. She communicates all of the steps of the process and even follows up after the process. Dr. Thompson truly is an amazing person and caregiver. Highly recommend this Doctor.
It's never easy making the hard decision to let a beloved pet cross the rainbow bridge. But Dr. Thompson made the decision and process much easier as we let our sweet old man, Felix (19 y/r tabby), go peacefully. He loved bird/wildlife watching while sitting out on our back porch. This is where Dr. Thompson met Felix and cooed at how precious he was. She gave him so much love while she slowly got him sleepy and comfortable. He was able to enjoy his favorite view surrounded by his humans. I will forever be grateful for her patience, gentleness, and reassurance that it was time for him to be with the Lord. I was pleasantly surprised when she sent us a very touching card in the mail the next day or so thanking us for letting her be apart of his peaceful passing. Their services are particularly appreciated when pets don't enjoy car rides or have vet office anxiety. Thank you so much Dr. Thompson - we very thankful for angels like you in this world!
