Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
I became a veterinarian due to my love of animals, science and medicine. I work in a busy, private practice specialty hospital and function as Department Head of the Critical Care unit. My current job includes both hospice care and euthanasia, and now I strive to provide this service to pets and families in their home.

What pet parents are saying
Best dog, best friend - my fluff of life. Saying goodbye was one of the hardest things I have ever done. My heart still aches as I see my baby in the shadows. Dr. Rebecca Walton was wonderful. She made sure Cody was comfortable using a sedative. She put him to sleep while I held him. And when I was ready, she helped me to let him go. She was kind, supportive and compassionate. And while I never want to see her again, if I ever need to do this again I will be searching for her. Coda Pet provided a wonderful service. Being at home for our last goodbye with a compassionate doctor and assistant meant everything. Thank you.
Dr. Becca and her assistant were warm and professional, providing comfort during one of the hardest days I've had in a long time. They were communicative, thoughtful, kind and helped my dog transition in a peaceful, loving manner. Cannot thank them enough.
Words cannot describe how comforting and kind Dr. Becca and her assistant Morgan were during the process. However I will do my best. My family's situation with our family dog was difficult which led us to the deciding to let him rest. He had grown very old, sick, and was in poor condition. It was embarrassing. I explained the situation to Dr. Becca, asking to please do not judge us and our dogs state. Her communication and assurance that she held no judgement made the experience less painful. We were her last appointment during the night, but she and Morgan showed up with positive and compassionate energy. Holding such soothing demeanor, they conversed with us, explained each step, and kept strong composure as we grieved his last breath. They took him away with such consideration, it made my family and I feeling light knowing we did the right thing and that he is in good hands with them. Then their visit to bring our dog back to us was endearing as they brought flowers, a written card, his paw print, and his ashes. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Dr. Becca and Morgan! The experience would have been unbearable without you.
Very thankful to our vet who came to let us go of our dear dog. They were very empathetic and professional. Explained everything throughly with a gentleness. Made the experience the best it could be for our little fur baby. Thank you 🙏
Making the decision to put our beautiful Roxy girl down was one of the hardest decisions we had to make. But Dr. Rebecca Walton and her assistant made our goodbye a lil easier. They were both amazing with us and our beautiful Roxy. Thank you both for all your help. REST IN PARADISE MY SWEET ROXY GIRL. You will forever be in our hearts. Thank you for all the great memories you gave us. 💔🙏🏽🕊️🥹💖 If at anytime anyone needs a mobile vet to put your fur baby down at home, the only place they will feel safe this is the place to call. They are amazing ♥️🙏🏽
Dr. Walton and her assistant Morgan were the most compassionate, respectful, and sympathetic professionals when it came to putting my dog down. They both intuitively knew what to say, what to do, and I appreciated their gentle presence, kindness, and communication beyond words. This was my first time having to part ways with a pet, and it was one of the worst experiences of my life. However, even in my profound grief, there was a moment during the process I thought of how beautifully tragic this was. If it has to happen, this is the most peaceful and poetic way to do it. Zoey took her last breath just how she wanted - in my arms, surrounded by the people and things she loved most, in the comfort of her own home. Dr. Walton and Morgan, I hope to never see you for your services again… but if I or someone else does, I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you for making an extremely difficult process a little easier
