Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
Our pets provide us so much joy and happiness, that we can't ever truly be ready to say goodbye. After participating in euthanasia's in a clinic setting for 15 years, I'm relieved to be able to provide a more relaxing, peaceful, and personal alternative to pets and their families with in-home euthanasia services.

What pet parents are saying
Thanks so much for taking care of our dearest OC and us yesterday. Your amazing empathy, patience and kindness turned our sadness into a very special, memorable and loving goodbye that will forever remain in our hearts, thank you Dr. Kristina!
Dr. Pugh is one of the most compassionate people I have met in a long time. She guided me through the process with kid gloves. I couldn’t have had a better experience in such a very difficult and heartbreaking situation.
Dr Pugh was amazing. I cannot describe how gentle, considerate, caring and respectful she was with my dog and with the situation. She made such a hard and sad event as peaceful and as dignified as humanly possible. When the time comes to make that hard decision with my other dog, I hope Dr Pugh is available.
We cannot thank Dr Kristina Pugh enough for the compassion and professionalism she showed during one of the hardest moments of our lives. When we had to say goodbye to our beloved Sunny, her gentle approach, genuine care and understanding made an incredibly difficult situation bearable. Dr Pugh handled everything with such kindness, explaining the whole process clearly and treating Sunny with dignity and respect. We are forever grateful for the empathy and professionalism she showed us.
This past Monday was my second time using Peaceful Passage. Gosh, Kristina was so kind and gentle in this vulnerable scenario - we were lucky to have her. Our beautiful girl is finally at peace, but we miss her deeply and always will.
Dr. Kristina Pugh, the Vet from CodaPet, was very kind in helping us with in-home pet euthanasia for our 16 year old kitty, Josie. She was warm, thoughtful and easy going. She helped us understand the process and helped us to help our other pets see the kitty after she passed away so they knew she was gone. It is such a difficult decision to make, but Dr. Pugh made it more comfortable.
