Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
Ive always been an animal lover growing up, and though I have worked a variety of careers, I always ended up back with animals. I worked in clinical practice and enjoyed spending time with my clients, holding their hands as we talked through different disease outcomes and treatment plans, and, eventually crying with them during their last visit as they said goodbye to their pet. I wanted to provide in-home euthanasia so that people could spend the time saying goodbye at their own pace.

What pet parents are saying
Dr. Frary is a compassionate, caring Vet. She made our pups last moments so comfortable and peaceful. We were vary grateful for her service and help. Thank you for all you did. Pearce Family
My dog is my baby. After almost 15 years together it was time to let her go. Dr.frary was amazing explained everything, let us take as much time as we needed to say goodbye. And was so respectful. Would recommend hands down
We are so grateful to Dr. Lauren Frary for her kindness and professionalism when helping us say goodbye to our dog at home. She made a difficult process much easier for our family, showing compassion and care every step of the way. Dr. Frary’s gentle approach brought us comfort during such an emotional time, and we can’t thank her enough.
I am completely amazed at how Dr. Lauren handled such a delicate and difficult moment. She is lovely, kind and full of grace. When she came into our home she immediately sat in the floor with our pup and loved on her as she explained the process to us. She was so gentle both with our elderly pup and with our tender emotions while we were saying goodbye to our beloved Scarlet. I have and will continue to recommend Dr. Lauren forever. Thank you
Dr. Frary was wonderful. She thoughtfully explained the procedure and what to expect. She was so respectful and made our 16 year old mini schnauzer so perfectly comfortable. It was the most peaceful process we’ve experienced. Thank you so much Dr. Frary. Worth every penny.
Wonderfully respectful. I am glad that Dr. Lauren was with us to help my little man make his journey over the rainbow bridge peaceful. I am eternally grateful.
The decision to have to put an beloved pet down is a hard one. CodaPet made scheduling an at home service so simple that you could navigate it even when crying. The rates were less then we were expecting, and they had availability the next day. Lauren is a god send to grieving pet parents, and pets alike. She was calming, thoughtful, and very considerate. She explained the whole procedure, and somethings that we could expect so that there was no surprises. She was so sweet to Amber Blue, assessing her needs and giving her a calm presence. Our precious pup went quietly and comfortably after fighting lymphoma. We are very grateful to Lauren, and to CodaPet for offering this experience. We are also grateful for the option to cremate and get an urn and some keepsake ceramic paw prints. Thank you so much for everything.
We made the tough decision to help our 16-year-old Pomeranian cross over. I can't describe how much it meant to me to hold him in my arms as he gently passed while telling me how much I loved him. Dr. Lauren Frary was incredible. She was gentle, knew the right words, and spent time with my family and our little one. She even recommended chocolate, which I 100% agree with. All dogs deserve chocolate before they go. I would pay for the service over and over again just to be able to give him such peace and love before he went. Thank you again for making a tough time a lot easier and being able to have closure.
Dr Lauren Frary was absolutely wonderful to work with! CodaPet was recommended to me from another service that was unable to meet our timing needs for our cat, Max. We could not have been more pleased with Dr Lauren. She was quick to respond and it was easy to set up an appointment. She was so calm, kind, thorough and made the whole experience feel very loving. I would highly recommend Dr Lauren!
This was the most painful loss I’ve ever experienced — I had so much anxiety and guilt along with it. Dr. Frary was incredible and kind and patient. She communicated well before and during the appointment. She answered all our questions and her expertise put our minds at ease 110%. I miss my guy every day - but I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that we did what was best for him. Thanks to Dr. Frary he was able to pass peacefully and comfortably in his favorite spot in our yard surrounded by loved ones.
This was the best possible experience we could have had for such a devastating day. Dr. Lauren was kind and thoughtful throughout the whole process even spending time over the phone with us the night before. She was a great listener and comforter. We are so heartbroken to have had to say goodbye to our best boy, but we are so happy we chose this service.
Dr. Frary was outstanding. She was very compassionate throughout the while process and very kind. She explained everything very well and let us take our time. We have never done an in home euthanasia but after doing this, it will be the only way I so it from now on. Loosing a pet is always the hardest thing ever and to make it a little better for them on the last day was the best thing I could have ever done. Thank you for taking the time to let us do this peacefully at home.
Dr. Frary made one of the most difficult moments a little less difficult. She was kind, honest, compassionate and provided my family comfort in a very difficult time. I would recommend her and this process to anyone in need of this service.
Utah Valley is fortunate to have access to Dr. Loren Frarer. She is competent and compassionate. It took a LOT of the stress out of having to put my beloved pet to sleep. An at-home euthanasia is a big step up from taking a sick dog to the vet's office and I will do it every time.
Cannot say enough good things about the professionalism and compassion we received from Dr. Lauren during one of the most painful times in our lives. She was gentle and caring, gave our beloved pup the respect and dignity he deserved and allowed us the time we needed to grieve. Highest recommendation.
Our experience with Dr. Frary was better than we could have hoped during such a trying time. I was able to book quickly online, she communicated regularly via text, she was compassionate and tender toward our little Chewy as we said our goodbyes. I can’t recommend her enough.
The entire process from scheduling to the home visit was professional, compassionate, and comforting. Dr Lauren Frary explained everything she was doing and what our pet was experiencing clearly and compassionately . She allowed us as much time as we needed to say good bye.
I cannot express enough gratitude for the way Dr. Lauren Frary assisted my family and smoothly transitioned our dog. She explained what we could expect and gave us plenty of room to say our goodbyes. I never felt rushed and she was so gentle with our dog, even after he had passed. I truly felt her compassion for my dog and my family. She is marvelous! I would highly recommend her.
Choosing to have your pet euthanized is a difficult experience, but we knew it was time for our cat as he had been struggling with the effects of HCM for weeks. We chose in-home pet euthanasia because Scout always hated being taken to the vet and we didn't want to cause further stress in his final hours. Fortunately Dr. Lauren Frary was near where we live and I had read great reviews about her work. I just want to add that they were all warranted. Dr. Frary was kind and engaged both with us and Scout. The process was explained in detail and we had plenty of time to say our goodbyes. The procedure went smoothly and peacefully. We're so glad we chose Dr. Frary for this difficult choice--she made it a much more pleasant experience.
Absolutely wonderful. She was patient, loving, stayed out of the way, had a kind and compassionate heart for both is and our dog. I'm so grateful. She made his passing easier.
We would highly recommend Dr. Frary!!! She was so gentle, compassionate and patient! I tell everyone about how awesome Dr. Frary is and how she made a very sad day bearable.
Dr. Lauren Fray is amazing! Not only is she so sweet and truly cares about every animal she Meets she makes you feel loved as well even when you’ve just meet her! She explained everything to us and let our other dogs be present while we said goodbye to our diesel that we were blessed to have for almost 14 years. She even hand delivered his memorial keepsakes back to us. I’m happy to have him back home and I’m so grateful I found a dr who truly takes her her time and shows her compassion and love to the families on their hardest days🤎 I can’t thank you enough Lauren!
Dr. Frary is terrific. She made the extremely sad passing of our dog Jak as easy as possible. It was peaceful for Jak and she provided us reassurance and comfort. Thank you for your service Dr. Frary.
Lauren (Dr. Frary) was amazing. This was our first time going through this and it was extremely difficult and emotional for our family. We weren't sure at first if this was the best option for our cat, but Lauren looked him over and considered his history and made an objective, professional assessment that this was a good option for him, but never pressured us one way or another. I was so impressed with Lauren's softness, kindness, and understanding of all of our concerns and answered all of our questions. And she was so conscientious and considerate of our pain. From the exact words she used to her gentle mannerisms to the beautiful basket and blanket she brought to take care of our boy, her consideration and kindness and how she did nothing to rush us nor pressure us means that I have been recommending her to anyone with an interest in this service. It costs a bit, but letting our boy go in the kindest, most humane, loving, and gentle way was worth every penny.
Dr Lauren was great! This was our fourth pet we’ve had to put down, and Dr Lauren made the experience a calm and peaceful one for our family. She’s very empathetic and gave us plenty of time and space to say our goodbyes.
We are glad that Dr Lauren Frary was the one who got to help us with our little Chloe. She was caring and very compassionate at a time when we needed all the care in the world as we went through the toughest time in our family. We didn’t feel rushed at all and we were given everything we needed as we navigated such a tough day. We had to push our appt several days earlier, with only a couple hours notice before she came to our home…and she was right there to accommodate us, and for that we’re so grateful. Dr Frary gave excellent care and even took paw prints of our girl, which we received in the mail. She took a lot of our worries away on that day, and we will be forever thankful that she got to be the person to help us through the difficult process. I can’t recommend her highly enough.
Our dog seemed to develop a condition where he was becoming paralyzed from his tail to his head. It was over the course of a couple of weeks. We took him to 4 different vets who “treated the symptoms” but nothing worked. It cost us a couple of thousand dollars and we were no closer to a solution. He was suffering and they refused to euthanize him bc he was ‘too young”, being only 5 yrs old. We were so sad watching him diminish daily w no real help in sight. Dr. Lauren Frary came to our home and was the most kind and loving w him and us. She handled the situation very professionally. Of course we didn’t want him to go. We love him dearly. We just didn’t want him to suffer, and he absolutely was, w no real diagnosis or end in sight. We cannot thank Dr. Frary enough for her kindness and help during a time that was super difficult. It had been made so much worse than necessary by others who just wanted to run more tests but w no real solutions. Thank you w all of our hearts for your service!
These experiences are incredibly difficult for everyone, but Dr. Frary made the situation aa comforting as possible. She was extremely sensitive to what was happening, and I strongly recommend her to others.
This service is a game changer. Dr. Lauren was so kind and compassionate. This process is NEVER easy but the calm and peace I felt being able to offer relief to my beloved, aging pet's suffering in this way alleviates so much of the questioning and guilt. There were still plenty of tears, but we felt comfortable with Dr. Lauren right away. She eased our pain over the loss as well. I will always be grateful and would not hesitate to recommend this to anyone. CodeaPet is truly a tender mercy.
Dr. Frary treated my Meg as if she were her beloved kitty. The kindness and compassion she showed both of us made the experience personal and private. Being able to goodbye while Meg was on her favorite blanket in her favorite spot was priceless. Thank you for making that possible!
She was very patient and kind and helped me through the whole process. I'm very thankful that was able to be supportive through a difficult experience.
Dr. Frary had the calmest, gentlest demeanor during the procedure. She was so good at putting me at ease. I appreciated that she recognized this was the best option for my elderly pet when other vets had ignored my concerns about my pet's comfort and mental state. Her compassion for the animals really shows. Thank you for making a hard thing easier.
Dr. Lauren made us feel very comfortable with her demeanor and candor by walking us through the process and answering all of our questions. She was VERY accommodating with our requests for one of the most vulnerable moments of our lives. She did her very best to make the process as easy and as comfortable as it could have been despite the circumstances.
Dr. Frary was outstanding. She was very compassionate throughout the while process and very kind. She explained everything very well and let us take our time.

Dr Lauren Frary was so incredibly caring, and understading during such a difficult time for us. We were able to say goodbye to our Jake peacefully & lovingly in the comfort of our home. We are truly grateful for her services!
This service was such a blessing for our family. Dr. Lauren Frary was amazing and we loved being able to do this in our home in a stress free environment for our Buddy. Saying goodbye is not easy but doing it at home made it easier for us all. Thank you!!
Dr Frary was incredibly compassionate and gave us plenty of time to say goodbye to our cat Monkey. I can't believe the difference between in clinic and at home. Our good boy wasn't scared and I held him the whole time. For the circumstances it was a really good experience. I would credit that to Dr Frary helping us as much as Monkey through it.
I am so grateful for Dr Lauren Frary, the service she offers in being able to keep our beloved animals at home during such a hard yet compassionate transition is such a gift. She holds the space with such compassion and calm. Dr Lauren explains everything, allows as much time is need to say good bye. The care and tenderness she gave to me and my family as well as our sweet Jasper created, while painful, beautiful experience.
I was super grateful for Dr Lauren’s kindness during the whole process. Making the decision to put my best bud of 18 years down was so difficult but her kindness, grace and professionalism made it a little easier. I appreciate her texting earlier in the day, and allowing me to ask questions and process it all. I appreciate the space that she held for me, allowing me to take what time I needed and the way she explained the whole process.
Dr. Lauren Frary was so gentle with my sweet Cosmo. She explained every step of what she was going to do and made sure he was as comfortable as he could be. She also entertained my other two kitties who were very curious as to what was going on. Thank you for making a heartbreaking decision so peaceful and letting us get to say our goodbyes in our home.
She was very kind when it came time for our 16year old girl to cross the rainbow bridge. She made the experience the best it could have been under the circumstances. I highly recommend her for anyone when the time comes for your pet. She provides a calm compassionate environment for the pet and the family.

Lauren was amazing! She was so warm, and friendly, yet extremely respectful. She went above and beyond for us, giving us privacy and time for our final goodbyes. She was so gentle with our chief, and explained everything and what to expect. She treated us with such good care.
Dr. Lauren Frary was so very compassionate and took all the time we needed to to say goodbye to our beloved , loyal and best friend, our golden retriever Bear. We will never not use in home euthanasia for our other dogs if it’s needed. She made Bear feel so calm. It’s the hardest thing to know when to say goodbye, but she made it bearable for us. We miss him terribly, but we know it was the right thing to do, and especially the right place to say goodbye instead of having him so anxious and scared in a vets office. We highly recommend Dr. Lauren Thank you so much for making this time bearable.
Lauren was kind and patient and walked us through every step of the process, as this was our first time needing these services. I could not recommend her higher for such a difficult transition.
I am so sad I have the opertunity to share this but if this is a potential then this is the way to ease your pets passing . Dr Lauren was amazing and so tactful and caring. I wish humans had this same amount of care.
Dr. Lauren Frary made an incredibly difficult situation peaceful and comfortable. She was kind and caring and reassured us that we were making the decision that was best for our sweet Maggie.

Dr. Frary was the most kind and compassionate individual when she came to perform the euthanasia. She treated my friend of 17 years with the utmost respect and spoke to him so kindly. My wife and I were amazed at her "bedside manner".
Dr. Lauren Frary is incredibly kind, thoughtful, and compassionate. She made an impossibly difficult time more comfortable for our sweet girl.
The experience of losing my beloved dog was very hard to go through, however having the option to come to our house and making it comfortable for her was amazing. It was probably the best experience we could of had for our sweet girl. Thank you.
Dr Lauren made the whole process much easier for our family. She was so kind and patient and gave us the time we needed to retell our favorite stories with Lady and be able to say goodbye to our sweet baby girl. We feel so fortunate that we could do this for her in the familiar and safe setting of her own home surrounded by her family.
Dr. Frary was very compassionate towards our family and the feelings we were experiencing, and very caring and thoughtful for the well being of our dog as she passed. It was 100x better than our previous experience at the vets! Though sad, it was more peaceful and comforting to go through this at home. Thank you!!
Dr. Lauren provides just a special and important service. I am grieving the loss of my old pup but I don’t regret choosing in home euthanasia with Dr. Lauren one bit. When the time came, my dog was peaceful and comfortable in his warm bed instead of inside a cold and scary vet’s office.
I am completely amazed at how Dr. Lauren handled such a delicate and difficult moment. She is lovely, kind and full of grace. When she came into our home she immediately sat on the floor with our pup and loved on her as she explained the process to us. She was so gentle both with our elderly pup and with our tender emotions while we were saying goodbye to our beloved Scarlet. I have and will continue to recommend Dr. Lauren forever. Thank you
Dr Lauren was very kind with the process of putting our Rocky down. It was a hard decision to make and she confirmed our decision and was very supportive. We appreaciate the option of having it done at our home.
She was so kind, concerned and helpful. Let us have as much time as we needed and explained in detail the process and what to expect. She helped make the experience bearable.
Dr. Frary was so kind and great with explaining the entire process to not only me, but my children as well. She gave us all the time we needed and we didn’t feel rushed in saying our goodbyes. We could tell that she truly cared and that meant the world! I highly recommend using her services.
Dr Frary was excellent. It was such a difficult moment and she made it so much less stressful for everyone by giving Genevieve all the respect, love and care she deserved. I highly recommend Dr Frary’s services.
