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
We can't say enough good things about Dr. Noe. She made a very hard experience easier with her kindness and empathy. She explained what was happening in such a beautiful way to our children and helped them create keepsake memories. She was quick to respond to my same day request, kept in communication, and made the whole process seamless which was greatly appreciated.
Highly recommend! It was very important that someone come to my house to help my kitty cross over the rainbow bridge. Dr. Noe was beyond amazing and I’m grateful for her service.
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.
In the context of grieving that had already started before Dr. Laurie Noe's arrival, she proactively offered contact for questions, and she confirmed and sent reminders for the appointment date/time, and arrival. We were grateful that she was available to come with one day's notice for a Sunday appointment. Dr. Noe arrived with her very kind assistant, Ezra, and she gently explained everything. With Dr. Noe's guidance, the process of sending our beloved Mulan to doggie heaven was incredibly smooth, patient, empathetic, and comforting. We remain very appreciative of Dr. Noe's and Ezra's gentle efficiency and kindness.
My appointment was on a Wednesday but my pets health was declining fast. Dr Noe reached out to me while on vacation to let me know she would come on Monday instead. Dr Noe is so compassionate and caring. I will never forget what she did for us. Curtis and Wende Gross
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!
