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

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.

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 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 Gardhouse provided exceptional compassion and care during one of the hardest moments of my life. She came to my home to help my sweet cat, Abby, peacefully end her long decline in health. Dr. Gardhouse was gentle, respectful, and incredibly kind to both of us. Her presence brought comfort and dignity to a heartbreaking experience. I am deeply grateful for her support.

Dr. Sara was absolutely the kindest person, we were so torn on what to do with the poor older dog and we knew he was in such pain. Caring Pathways and Dr. Sara were exactly what we needed in this tough decision and heartbreaking reality.
