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.

What pet parents are saying

Dr. Gardhouse was so sympathetic and patient during the process and I would highly recommend her when having to make the hard decision to say bye to a furry family member.

Dr Sara arrived on time, explained things thoroughly and communicated throughout - we felt like our family was in caring and competent hands and appreciated her efficient and patient approach to this heart wrenching part of life.

Dr. Sara recently helped us say goodbye to our sweet girl cat.  It was such a hard time for us and she was very mindful of that.  We are grateful to have done this at home and the service she provides is beyond appreciated.  The compassion and empathy she shows means a lot.  The Cremation company used was great and respectful.  She was home within 8 days.  We highly recommend this company and Dr.Sara."

We used Coda-pet for our in home euthanasia for our beautiful 16 year old golden doodle. We were sent an angel, Dr Sara Gardhouse. She arrived on time and was extremely compassionate, explained the process and gave us time alone as we all said goodbye to Bella. I highly recommend Coda-pet and Dr Sara.

Dr.Sara was very polite and had a very warm energy. She came to my house on one of the hardest days of my life and she was gentle and her tone was very low and soft. She made sure we were all comfortable during the whole process and made us feel heard and seen. She was very professional and made sure to explain everything step by step. She was so gentle when she left the house with my baby. Thank you so much for being there and helping us get through a very difficult time.
