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
Our girl wasn’t great at car rides at the end of her life and was terrified of the vet. She would get so worked up and we just knew we didn’t want her last moments to be scary. So when the day came where her life wasn’t quality, we knew we wanted to have in-home euthanasia done. After contacting several local companies, we were relieved to find CodaPet and even more relieved to have Dr. Kristina be available within a few hours. She was an amazing comfort in such a sad time and explained everything. She loved on our girl before even sitting down, and complimented her over and over. When the time came, she was respectful, gave us time and space and listened as we told stories about our girl. It is slightly more expensive than the vets office, but it was 100% the right choice for our baby.
Dr Pugh was very thoughtful and professional for every step. This was my first experience with in-home euthanasia for a pet. I highly recommend it. This was much better than a potentially stressful trip for the animal's final moments.
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.
Dr. Kristina came to our home displaying kindness and concern for our cat and our family. It was a difficult day to invite a stranger into our home, but we felt at ease with Dr. Kristina as she assisted Spin in her peaceful transition.
Dr. Pugh was kind, compassionate, and professional. She took the time to answer all of my children’s questions and concerns which really made an incredibly sad experience a bit easier. Dr. Pugh did not rush the process and every step felt personal and empathetic. If you find yourself having to say goodbye to a beloved pet, Dr. Pugh is the one you want by your side. Thank you ❤️
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.
