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
I highly recommend CodaPet for in-home euthanasia for your furry family member. Sara arrived right on time and gave us all of the time we needed to love on our dog Poppi. Sara was very careful with Poppi during the process and wrapped her in a blanket very lovingly to take her for cremation. While we miss our Poppi girl, we are truly happy with this entire experience. There was a lot less stress on both us and Poppi as she was very comfortable at home. I know no one wants to say goodbye to their fur kid, but this was a very peaceful way to be able to say goodbye without all of the stress of a car ride and then in the vet's office. Thank you, CodaPet for providing this service and thank you Sara for your wonderful care on our fur kid's final day with us.
Dr Sara helped us in dire circumstances by helping Sable start the next part of her journey. She was gentle and caring both for our comfort and to ease our big dog out of this life as painlessly as possible when there was no more hope for her recovery. We miss Sable every day! Thank you Dr Sara. /Dave and Olga
I had to make the painful decision of putting my dog, Luna, down, and wanted to do it at home. Not only was the price fair, but Dr. Gardhouse was amazing. She came earlier than the scheduled arrival time, had a very calm and caring demeanor, and answered all questions. She worked at my pace and enjoyed watching us give my girl a last meal of chicken nuggets, popcorn, and chocolate chips cookies. This decision was not easy, but Dr. Gardhouse was the perfect provider to use. She took great care of my girl and even sent a follow up card in the mail sending her regards. Could not recommend her enough, there’s a special place for humans like her that do this work?
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 Guardhouse was very compassionate during our appointment. Choosing to put our dog down at home was absolutely the best decision for us and our pet. Dr Gardhouse took her time to explain the process and make sure we were ready to move to the next step. Our dog's final minutes surrounded by family and getting plenty of love was the perfect way to say goodbye to our beloved pet.
Dr Sara was incredible. She was incredibly compassionate for Both Tux and his family. Could not recommend someone more highly if you have to make this difficult decision.
