Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

I have loved animals from the time I can remember and pursuing veterinary medicine meant that I got to spend every day with the animals I love and helping them from all avenues. In my many years as a veterinarian, I deeply understand the challenges of treating critically ill patients and the nuances of end-of-life care. I am honored to help pets pass away peacefully in the comfort of their home and with their loving family at their side.

Dr. Sara Gardhouse was so kind and understanding with my dear old man Rocky. She was extremely respectful and explained everything that was going to happen. My old man had a kind and dignified passing. I will always encourage at home care for any pets. Thank you Dr. Sara.

Dr Sara arrived early at our request. She talked us through the process. Alphie responded to her as sick as he was. She was very caring and professional. This made a difficult day easier. I would give her Coda Pet the highest recommendation. David Valentine Aurora CO

Dr Sara Gardhouse was an amazing support during the hardest time putting our cat down. She was so sincere and kind and was able to come out the same day when we needed her most. Highly recommend her if you have to go through this process.

My dog and I had been together over 18 years when I had to say goodbye. This was my first experience and Dr. Sara Gardhouse was really wonderful throughout the whole process. She explained everything and was very patient, respectful, and kind.

Review by Dr. Sara Gardhouse

A very wonderful caring , warm and compassionate Dr Sara Gardhouse was the right person in my life to take care of my needs when it came to the final day of Rex’s life here on earth. She was accommodating to where I wanted. Rex euthanized . That to me was the greatest gift of all. Even though it rained all day, we went forward, so Rex wouldn’t suffer anymore. She answered questions I had after the procedure, when I was overwhelmed with heartbreak and grief, stating she was there for me if I needed. Dr. Sara Gardhouse, I can’t say enough how grateful I had her by our side, it was comforting. I would recommend her to anyone that needs in-home or out of home euthanasia. You’re in the best care with this great doctor.. thank you Leia Hanson
