Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
Veterinary medicine is as much about family as it is about animals. Our pets are our mascots, our comedians, our best friends and sometimes our lifelines. It has been a privilege, as a vet, to be a part of so many lives, from newly adopted puppy, kitten, or small mammal, through the mischievous youthful years, middle age, and then the senior years. As pet parents (because I am one too), we sign up for this relationship and all the joy, comedy and surprises. In the senior years, we provide more support, but also get to enjoy a shared history and comfort that is irreplaceable. Giving our pets the dignity and comfort of a low-stress death is a gift, and you could say, a responsibility. Undoubtedly this is also the hardest part of that relationship. Having experienced profound loss in my own lifetime, I’ve learned how to look scary things in the eye and hold steady. I can support you, your family and your animal through this process and it is my honor to do so.

What pet parents are saying
Dr. Duvall really helped make the transition of our little Pippi as peaceful as possible. The evening before, I had needed to reach out about an emergency with my dog and she promptly responded & helped ease my fears. The next day she arrived on time which was awesome bc had she been early or late, I might have been spiraling since the anticipation was way worse than my dog’s very gentle & peaceful transition. She let Pippi have her last favorite meal & let me hold her in my arms the whole time. It could not have gone smoother, for as difficult as it was. Thanks Dr. Duvall 💜
It’s the hardest decision I’ll ever have to make, and it has to be right, and it has to be perfect. Dr. Duvall was the perfect choice, and my pup’s transition could not have been any better. She was patient, thorough, and most of all, completely compassionate. I could not have thanked her enough.
This turned out to be the best decision that we have ever made! We dreaded trying to take our failing dog to the vet, something that he and we don't really enjoy anyway, even when he isn't sick. Instead, Dr. Duvall was able to come to us, and evaluate our Border Collie/Australian Sheep dog mix, Myles, right here in our own home. Dr. Megan Duvall is an exceptionally fine Veterinarian, and she did a beautiful job evaluating and treating Myles. Her experienced and loving touch were marvelous. We were so glad that Myles was able to quietly and painlessly pass away in his own bed, surrounded by the whole family who loved him so much. It was so much better than going to the vet, and any additional cost was well worth it. Also, the information and guidance materials were excellent and really helped with our understanding of the whole process. The follow-up has been excellent too, with many helpful links. We would highly recommend using this service, especially if you are fortunate enough to be able to book Dr. Megan Duvall. If, as they say, a safe, easy passing is the final act of love that you can do for your pet, then this seems to us to be the very best way to do it.
Dr. Duvall was so kind and caring during such a difficult time, we really appreciated it. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone one of our family and friends.
I let my pup of nearly 16 years go this morning, and if I could give 500 stars for this service, I would do so happily. Dr. Megan Duvall could not have been more compassionate, more professional, more…perfect. I could go through each stage, every step, and it was so incredibly peaceful on the bed where she slept, in my arms, with not a shred of anxiety or pain. As this will always be the most difficult decision we make for our beloved companion, you want this experience to be as beautiful as it can be, and it was. I cannot recommend Dr. Duvall and Coda enough.
Dr. Duvall was a kind support in a tough situation. We were very thankful to her for the professionalism, her care, her availability, and the graciousness she offered us through this experience. Highly recommend!
