Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

In all the roles I've had in veterinary medicine, the part I found most fulfilling was supporting animals and their owners through end-of-life care. I have been doing hospice work for over 10 years and truly find it an honor to provide a peaceful, pain-free transition for beloved companions.

What pet parents are saying

Concerns: The process felt rushed to me. Dr. Dover gave my dog TWICE the amount of sedative and pain med for her weight. My dog weighed 12 lbs. and she said gave Chili twice the amount for her weight - enough for a 25 lb. dog. Why? To hurry things along so she could go to her next appointment? Also, Dr. Dover was wearing heavy cologne. Many people are sensitive and/or allergic to fragrances. Disappointing that she’d wear so much fragrance. It lingered in the house long after she was gone.

Review by Dr. Andrea Dover

It was so very hard to have to decide to euthanize my seriously ill dog, who was a friend I had for 12 years. I am so grateful for how it was handled by CodaPet and the excellent veterinarian, Dr. Dover, who came to my home. She had thoughtfully answered my questions when I made the appointment. She even was able to come earlier than scheduled when my dog took a sudden turn for the worse. Every detail of the process was carefully thought out and explained to me.

It is such an emotional time when you have to put your beloved pet down. I thought and prayed hard when my little pup Rocky wasn't getting well; he was only getting worse. After signing up online, I was contacted right away, by Dr Andrea Dover. She was able to come when I chose, only a day or two later. She was so good with Rocky. He was totally comfortable with her. After initial consultation, I carried Rocky to my bed, which I thought would provide maximum comfort and relaxation. I held him as he lay there, staring close into his sweet face. I talked to him the whole time, as Dr Dover administered the injections. Rocky didn't seem to notice Dr Dover was there or doing anything. I was free to coddle him and talk to him, and he was listening. We were truly at one during this process. I didn't want to get overly upset, and just let the tears flow as I gave him love, smiles of reassurance and promises to see him again in heaven. Afterward, Dr Dover gently gathered him in a soft blanket and placed him in a perfect-sized basket. Rocky was at peace, his sweet little face looked like he was sleeping, all warm and cozy in the blanket imprinted with hearts. It was so hard to let him go, but there couldn't have been a better way. Dr Andrea is very intuitive, gentle, and kind. She appeared to me very God-centered in her work. I was so grateful that it was her there with me. It's been tough, but lately I have been having exquisite dreams of Rocky running to me, just like he used to do when he was well. He's all excited to see me, full of energy, having fun and feeling so happy. I think that's a good sign. I believe my little Pumpkin (which I often called him), is at peace now and one day we will be together again. Last night, I dreamt I was offering him a bowl of pumpkin!

For the extremely difficult situation, Dr Dover could not have been more emphatic and comforting as we went through the process of saying goodbye to our sweet girl. I am so thankful for her experience and loving approach and to making this as easy as it could be

We had to make the difficult decision to say goodbye to our beloved 8 year old Rottweiler Ryder. Dr. Dover went above and beyond to help us with this process. Not only did she go out of her way to come to our house after 8:00 pm on a Friday night, (changing our appointment that we had for Saturday afternoon), but she was also very compassionate and supportive. She gave us as much time as we needed to say our goodbyes and she was very loving to our sweet boy as he transitioned to his journey over the rainbow bridge. Thank you so very much Dr. Dover for your support and the hug you gave me afterwards. Your kindness didn’t go unnoticed.

I recommend Dr.Dover 1000%! I had to put my baby boy Romeo down after 16 years. He was with me when I was 19 and I’m now 35. He was 9 months old and a rescue when I rescued him in 2009. May 1st 2025 is the day I put my baby boy (Yorkie) to rest so as you can probably understand I wanted to make sure he was comfortable and he was able to pass in the comfort of his own home. I was hoping that he would pass away on his own but his Vet said that it was time. I called around to a few places for at home euthanasia but my heart just didn’t feel right until I found Coda pet. I was a little nervous because it wasn’t just putting a pet or animal to forever sleep, it was putting one of your family to forever sleep. So I didn’t know if bringing in a stranger would stop me from giving up the best goodbye and I didn’t want to hold back, but the moment Dr.Dover walked through my door I felt a sense of comfort and relief. She was very thorough, kind, patient and talked me through each step of the way. During the process she would periodically check in to make sure that me and my family were ok. She gave us a safe space and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to help take my baby boy over the rainbow bridge. He passed away peacefully in my arms. She let me know it was ok if I took hours or even just minutes to say goodbye. I didn’t feel rushed, judged, or scared. She talked to Romeo like he was a person and not just some animal. She was gracious, loving, caring and thoughtful. If you have any doubts, look no further, because Dr.Dover is the one. It takes a special kind of soul to do the work she does and I know because I work in hospice care and you can tell her soul is beautiful! She was so compassionate and definitely made me feel like I was doing the right thing. she validated me and made any guilt I felt, go away. My husband felt the same and we would and will definitely use her again. Thank you Dr.Dover for all that you do, you have a heart of gold and have touched our lives with your grace. We will never forget the beautiful goodbye you gave to me and my baby boy.
