Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

While I loved healthy puppy, kitten, and even reptile visits, I soon realized that sometimes a vet's job also necessitates relieving suffering and helping pets to pass peacefully. To be able to further experience and support the bond between humans and their pets has been an honor that I am truly grateful for. I believe that euthanasia in our pet’s homes is a peaceful, loving, and more comfortable way to help them pass, surrounded by the people they love. Family is so important and our pets make up such a special role in our lives.

What pet parents are saying

The whole process was very easy. Dr. Orth was prompt and very professional. Our dog was suffering so we were able to move her appointment up a day. Having gone thru this with another pet at the traditional vet, this was easier for us and our pet.

Review by Dr. Mashawn Orth

Dr. Orth was amazing through the entire process. My dog was unusually strong and vigorous. This required more than the usual routine. The doctor was patient and explained each step and the additional steps needed. She was very understanding and sympathetic to our situation. This really helped us part with our pet in a dignified and comforting way. I am glad we had her for our veterinarian that day.

Dr. Orth was so kind and professional, I didn't feel rushed and she made sure I understood the process. It doesn't make losing my sweet girl any less painful, but I'm so grateful she got to pass peacefully and quietly in her favorite spot with the help of a wonderful vet who was gentle with her.

Review by Dr. Mashawn Orth

Dr Orth is always very kind and compassionate. This is the 3rd dog we have compassionately euthanized with her. She makes a very difficult situation as comfortable as it can be. We never felt rushed and she made time on her off day to help our fur baby cross the rainbow bridge.

Dr. Orth demonstrated a level of loving-kindness that far exceeded our expectation. Her compassion, patience, and her knowledge is what we needed as we faced the loss of our dear boy Oliver. Codapet and Dr. Orth are a true blessing.

Review by Dr. Mashawn Orth

Dr. Orth is wonderful!!. She was extremely helpful, caring , professional, and compassionate during this difficult time. The decision to do the procedure at home was the right decision for our elderly anxious dog and she made the difficult decision and time much easier to navigate. I highly recommend her and the service she provides.
