Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
From the time I could pronounce the word, I wanted to be a veterinarian (around 5 years old) and I never wavered from that goal. I have been a veterinarian for over 35 years and still love every minute of my profession. I never felt being a veterinarian was a career choice, but rather a calling. I have strived to provide the best care possible for my patients, with special attention to reducing their pain and suffering. To this end, I have many years providing home euthanasia for family pets. I have always felt profoundly honored to be chosen by a family to help their beloved pet pass from their suffering to a place where they are free. To do so in the comfort of their own home (or other special place) is so much more dignified and intimate for the patient and their family.

What pet parents are saying
Dr. Noe kindly shepherded us through the most difficult day. It was time to let our dear, sweet little Bailey go. Dr. Noe came exactly on time, met our little doggy and explained to us how we would proceed. She allowed us to hold Bailey as she gave him a sedative. To demonstrate how calm he was she shaved a bit of hair off one paw to make a footprint. After he was very sleepy, she gave him the injection. A few moments later she announced he had earned his wings. To be able to say goodbye to our beloved doggy, at home, with his family around him, under his comfy blanket, was truly a blessing.
Thank goodness for Dr. Noe. We weren't aware of all of our options to help us with our suffering dog. We found that in-home euthanasia is the best option, by far. Think about how stressful is would be for a dog, that doesn't even want to be moved, to go to a vet office. CodaPet is who we chose and Dr. Noe was very comforting and made us and our dog feel at ease from start to finish. I should add that she was in no rush and gladly took the time for us to say our goodbyes. I highly recommend CodaPet and Dr. Noe. Thanks again!
Dr. Noe gave me so much peace about the decision to euthanize my cat. She confirmed what our normal vet told us that our cat's condition was bad and that it was a good time to put her down. She was so comforting and I'm so happy I chose to do an at-home euthanasia.
Putting our sweet girl down was heartbreaking but Dr. Laura Noe and Ezra made all the difference in the world. They were compassionate, gentle and caring every step of the way. They petted and greeted Sienna warmly,… like they were old friends. Sienna was happy and loved their attention & was at ease in their presence. Simply put, they were Wonderful. Thank you both for your gentleness and compassion‼️ Our girl is at peace and no longer in pain. Dr. Noe & Ezra, we are Thankful for you. More than you know 💕.
Dr. Noe had a very calm and kind disposition. She understood our grief and helped us feel comfortable while saying goodbye to our 16 year old dog. Euthanasia at home was absolutely the best gift we gave our dog - she was able to peacefully pass while being with family, in her own bed, in her own loving home, and even with our cat staying close by. Our dog had no stress during the process whatsoever, just relief. Thank you Dr. Noe.
Wonderful experience. Very kind, gentle & understanding. We even made paw prints for myself and my children. The experience is so much better than going into an office. For both you and your pet.
