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

Dr. Dover was so wonderful in such a difficult time for us. She took excellent care of our beloved friend. Dr. Dover took the time to go over each step and gave us the time we needed to say goodbye. She was gentle and kind with all of us.

Dr. Dover was a life saver for me. My baby was in pain, not able to walk, slowly dying, 108 lbs and it was a holiday weekend. None off the emergency vets I called had any help for getting my dog to them. I found Dr. Andrea Dover on line and she was able to come to me. She was professional, thoughtful, caring, and understanding about us and having to euthanatizing my 12 1/2 year old pet. She was able to take care of everything. Thank you for all you did. Dr. Andrea Dover.

Review by Dr. Andrea Dover

Dr. Dover was exceptional! We were able to make an appointment easily and were so impressed with her empathy, professionalism, and comfort she provided to our sweet kitty, Denni. We weren’t quite ready to say goodbyes to Denni, but felt we gave her the best farewell possible thanks to Dr. Dover. If you’re able to offer your pet the in-home option, I would highly recommend CODA and Dr. Dover.

Review by Dr. Andrea Dover

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!

So many “Thank You’s” to Dr. Dover and the service she provides. From the moment I scheduled our appointment, Dr. Dover communicated with me about ETA’s, what to expect from the at-home euthanasia process, and advice for post euthanasia processes as well. She was incredibly personable and compassionate to both my family and our dear late Kitty.

Andrea arrived On Time and Was So Attentive to Our Needs. My Mom can't stop talking about How Sweet Andrea was. My Mom is 95 yrs old, the Mama kitty was 17+ yrs old. Andrea was So professional. She walked my mom through every Step, explaining what shot she was giving and what Mama kitty was going through. Thank You Andrea for helping my Mom get through this loss of Mama Kitty. Your Kindness is So appreciated. You are Truly One of God's Angels !!!
