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

Our dear very elderly Zoe ( dog) passed away. We did not want to see her go, although she was a grump we loved her. Our other dog was there, and I held Zoe's head in my lap. She just slipped away. I am grateful that my husband and I could hold her. She did not panic, have anxiety . Thank you Dr. Gardhouse. Jennifer and Tom Fox

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 Gardhouse was very respectful and loving. She made the whole process of sending our 16 year old Boo across the rainbow bridge easier. Highly recommend.

Review by Dr. Sara Gardhouse

On 07/29/2025, our 14-year-old Goldendoodle, Teddy, passed away peacefully. Dr. Gardhouse was very compassionate. When she arrived, she started to rub Teddy's paw. The thing is that Teddy never liked his paws rubbed, but in this case, it soothed him. Dr. Gardhouse explained the procedure well and answered our questions. She gave us plenty of time to say our goodbyes, and nothing was rushed. We will miss him dearly, but Dr. Gardhouse made the process so much better. We are so glad we did it at home. Also, compared to other services, the price for the service was way more reasonable. I highly recommend using CodaPet. John D.

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 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.
