Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

I've found helping people say goodbye to their cherished pets to be one of the most gratifying and fulfilling aspects of the practice of veterinary medicine. It truly is an honor and privilege to be a part of end-of-life care for my patients.

What pet parents are saying

Dr. Martin was great. He gave an examination and asked questions about our cat Hobbes' condition, ultimately giving us reassurance that we were making the correct decision. He explained each step of the process and how Hobbes might react. Thankfully everything went very smoothly and he passed away peacefully on his favorite napping spot on our couch. I can't thank Dr. Martin enough for making such a hard day a little bit easier for me and my wife.

I've never been more impressed with a vet. I tried everything under the sun to get my dog better and I carried such massive guilt over the decision. I didn't know what to expect, as I had never put a pet to sleep before. I didn't know how I'd handle it and was struggling all week at work to avoid crying - I didn't even tell my coworkers so that I wouldn't break down into tears. Dr. Martin immediately made me feel at ease when he arrived. He has such a warm and caring demeanor. He listened so thoughtfully when I talked about my dog and her journey, then helped me to feel reassured in my decision. The night before the appointment, he spent 30+ minutes on the phone with me because I was still questioning whether there might be something else I can do. He listened while I ran through her history from the last two years. When he brought the ashes, he even included such a nice condolence card. I'm just blown away at how smooth of a process this was and how kind Dr. Martin is. If I know of anyone going through this, I will highly recommend Codapet and Dr. Martin. I wish that he/Codapet offered home visits for regular vet exams and routine vaccines. I would definitely pay for that service for my other dogs. Thank you so much, Dr. Martin! The 5 star reviews are all true and well-deserved!

It was really the best choice I ever made for good 'ol dog Bennie at 19.5 years old. Not only could the closest people to him be close to him in the comfort of his home, but his other fur friends could be there with him as well so they could understand why he left. It was a very peaceful passing and I couldn't thank Dr. Martin enough for his kind and passionate care for my beloved Bennie.

August 17th was a really hard day. It was Sunday, and my boy Gus had been to the vet that Friday because he was acting just a little off. By Saturday at 1:00 we got the news - late stage advanced renal failure, so in order to feel productive and push aside my emotions for the time being, I scheduled an in home euthanasia for Monday afternoon. I stayed up with him all night, and by 6:00am I knew that trying to hold on until Monday afternoon was no longer the right choice. His condition advanced so rapidly that the thought of moving him and taking him somewhere just felt out of the question - I wasn't sure he could even survive being transported, and for a boy that loved his Vet office so much, I could not bear moving him and taking him some place unfamiliar. After hours of calls, emails, inquiries, Dr. Martin swooped in - he actually doesn't live far from us, and he was able to come around 11:30am. By 12:00pm my boy was gone. It was devastating, it was kind, it was everything that my boy deserved. And, when his remains were ready to come home, Dr. Martin delivered to us so we did not have to go pick him up. It was a gut wrenching, but incredible experience, and has inspired me to look into training to be a Certified Animal Hospice Practitioner so that I can help other families through their experience. I will be forever grateful.

I was impressed with the thorough examination Dr Lane Martin did on my beloved kitty. I wondered if I was doing the right thing letting her go. The vet explained everything so I had a complete understanding and it gave me comfort to know it really was the right time to say goodbye. He was very patient and kind through the whole process. He brought her ashes back with a thoughtful card. I felt he cared. I highly recommend him.

It has taken us a minute to write this only because we have been missing our little Bella Princess so much. In what is and can be a very challenging and difficult decision, Dr. Lane was the ABSOLUTE BEST and most compassionate vet. He is sincerely caring and took the time to listen to our story. He was very good at explaining the process, how it worked and what we should expect. He was so patient. Because of his professionalism, it was a peaceful and painless experience for all of us! If you have to make this difficult decision for your animal, I couldn’t recommend Dr. Lane anymore for being the one who helps you through this challenging time.
