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

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 cannot express how much I appreciate the service that Dr Lane provides. For such an awful situation of having to say goodbye to a member of my family was - he brought so much comfort and clarity every step of the way. I didn't have to worry that I was taking One Two to a place that he was fearful of, that he could have everything that smelled like home near by and be comfortable in his own bed. One of the most impactful parts was being able to give my other cats the opportunity to say goodbye as well - something I had never had the opportunity to do before. Every service is so thought out - it makes it so easy to focus on what matters.

I highly recommend Dr. Lane. He took time to answer our questions and took his lead from us. He was not pushy or needing to rush anything. He is gentle, kind and clearly caring with our four legged family members. His presence is calm and comforting. During such a difficult decision and occurrence in any family, I encourage you to consider Dr. Lane Martin and Codapet.

Review by Dr. Lane Martin

He brought a calm and compassionate aura to Gizmo, my grandson, and I. He explained everything clearly and waited for us to process and prepare for what was to come. When it was over, he took great care in letting us let go without any sense of hurry. When he left with Gizmo we knew he was in good hands. He took the time to reassure us of the rightness of our decision once again. Will be forever grateful.

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!

Dr Martin was so kind and understanding. He explained everything in advance and gave us time to be with our beloved companion. It’s such a difficult experience but it was comforting to have the procedure handled by such a compassionate and caring vet.
