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 wonderful during this awful time for my family. She was easy to talk to and very informative during the entire process. I felt that she genuinely cared for my pup and I know she took fantastic care of her even when she left our home to head to Faithful Companions. While this service is a bit pricey, I am so glad my girl got to leave this world comfy and sleepy in her dog bed at home.
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 was so kind and caring. As difficult as it was to let our Golden fella cross the Rainbow Bridge, she reminded us that we were doing the best thing for him. Dr. Thompson made our in-house euthanasia experience as pleasant as it could possibly be. So thankful we got to say our 'see ya later's' to our dog in our home, in his favorite spot. Thank you, Dr. Thompson-
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.
Dr. Thompson was compassionate, professional, and lead us through the process to say goodbye to our Maggie. She provided a peaceful environment for Maggie and our family. We are grateful for Dr. Thompson's gentle and thoughtful care and her follow-up communication. We were unaware this service existed until our friend told us they had used CodaPet and how sweet the experience was for them. We totally agree.
