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
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.
Sometimes saying goodbye to a pet feels like saying goodbye to a loved one. Dr. Megan Duvall with CodaPet ensured an empathetic and stress-free experience for my senior cat, fiance, and I. She walked through the process, step by step, prior to starting the session. Her energy was very kind, understanding, and comforting. She was with all of us through every step of the process, checking on us repeatedly, and moved at our pace. She even brought treats for our pet which he very much enjoyed prior to departure. The experience was stress-free for him and we were given time to grieve. Thank you so much Dr. Megan Duvall for creating a safe space for all of us. 10/10 recommend!
Dr. Duvall was very professional and compassionate throughout the entire visit. She was very helpful to guide us, including my two small kids, through the process before, during, and after. I would highly recommend her for any of your needs.
Dr. Megan Duvall was so supportive through this process and very patient. She sat on the floor with me and talked me through all the steps and what she was doing and was very gentle with my dog. She also gave me time to process each step and was very kind and sympathetic when it was done. I already referred her to my community, but I would also recommend to those who aren't sure. This was the best decision and really takes away the stress of having to go to a vet. She was in her blanket and around her home smells. Thank you Dr. Megan for being there!
Megan helped our family get through the experience by being very personable and warm while making sure that our dog had the gentlest of good-byes. I have only good things to say about the experience.
Dr. Duvall helped us say goodbye to our 21 year cat who was failing in health. She made a difficult time less painful by explaining the process and being patient while we said our goodbyes.
