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
Dr. Kristi Thompson was an answered prayer! She was very caring, personable, kind and very attentive to our needs at this difficult time. Thank you SO much Dr. Thompson for being with us as we said our goodbyes to Smokey.
Dr. Thompson helped us say goodbye to our sweet boy. A difficult moment made easier because he could be in his home, with his humans, and because she took the time to allow him to get to know and be comfortable around her. We sincerely appreciate her professionalism and kindness, and ensuring our beloved Sammy felt comfortable, safe, and loved.
I am so grateful Dr. Kristi Thompson was with Blue and I during his passing. She was so kind and understanding, it felt like a friend coming into my home. She was very professional and gave me the facts when I needed them. Two hours before our meeting, I got really nervous and was second guessing the decision. Dr. Thompson was available by phone/text the whole day and our conversation really helped me to see things clearly, without trying to sway me one way or the other. She sat and talked to me with Blue for a good 45 minutes, getting Blue comfortable with her, as I had expressed concern that he was very skittish. She listened and addressed all of my concerns, and I felt she was so gentle and caring with Blue and I. Thank you so much Dr. Thompson, for doing the work you do and making such a harrowing decision as peaceful as possible. - Sam
While my heart is still aching from the loss of my dear Bella, I find solace in knowing that her final journey was filled with such tenderness and love, thanks to Dr. Thompson. Her compassion turned a very difficult moment into a truly beautiful and loving final act to comfort and relieve my baby. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your professionalism, being informative every step of the way and most of all for genuinely sharing in my pain as a pet parent whom also has gone through this process. God made no mistake in leading me to Dr. Thompson if in the the future I should need this service she is my go to!!! Top tier service 🥹
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.
Dr. Thompson made a very difficult situation easier than I ever thought possible. She clearly cares about the animal and the human involved :-) So thankful I found her and was able to allow my precious Fischer to pass peacefully in our home.
