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 did an excellent job with our sweet dog and our family. She touched base a few days before the visit, and then explained everything well when she arrived. It was our first time using in-home pet euthanasia and I would recommend it. It’s so nice to be at home in a familiar environment for both the pet and those that loved the pet.
We were so grateful for Dr. Megan Blasier Duvall helping our cat pass in a humane manner. Our cat was suddenly ill. When she came over, she not only reassured us that there were likely limited (quality of life) treatment options but she also made the process so calming for our sweet cat. We are so relieved that our sweet pet is no longer suffering and so grateful that the doctor made the transition easy for us. These vets are angels 😇
Dr. Megan Duvall was excellent & we highly recommend her. CodaPet website was easy to navigate and gave us the prices up front. I liked being able to see a picture & bio of the available vets before booking the appt. Thank you for your care & concern.
Dr. Duvall did a fantastic job easing our dog out of this world, and in tending to our human needs and concerns as well. She really went the extra mile and was full of compassion for all of us. I can't imagine how the inherently difficult situation could have been made any easier.
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!
