Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

I value not only the time spent with the furry members of pet families but just as much those who provide their love and care. I have recognized over my years in private practice just how important not only the first day we have with our pets is, but also the last. I desire to help make the goodbyes as comfortable and peaceful as possible.

What pet parents are saying

I had to have my beloved maltese , Stella, put down when her inoperable cancerous tumor began bleeding. Heartbreaking decision to make, to decide it is time. She let me know. She was acting very nervous the night before. I knew something was wrong. Then all my cats and other dog just sat around her in bed. They already knew.... When she started bleeding I called Codapet and made an appointment for the next morning with Dr. Sarah Clem. She arrived on time. She was very patient. Even listened to all my silly stories. Gave Stella an injection to make her sleepy. Stella fell asleep in my arms lying on the sofa. She was snoring loudly when Dr. Clem, Sarah now, asked if I was ready. Stella got another injection. She was still snoring...and then she wasn't. So quietly. Sarah listened to Stella's heart, looked at me and shook her head. It was over. She was buried in the back yard under a beautiful little memorial. I can't recommend b this service enough. No scary trip to the vet. Just calm, loving nap at home. I miss her terribly. That is going to take time and probably a new pup in the future. She was the best....

She was so caring and showed our baby Coco love, kindness and Coco responded with trust and calmness. Dr. Sarah helped us deal with what we knew we had to do for our Coco.

The doctor was very kind and patient. I would not have wanted to do this any other way. It was very peaceful for my old dog and dear friend.

My experience with Code A Pet started at a vet appointment with a very compassionate vet who recommended Code A Pet should I need them over a weekend. My call for an appointment was full of understanding about losing a pet. Dr. Sarah Clem came to my house to put down my 15 year rescue dog. My dog use to get overwhelmed when going to a vet, by having Dr. Clem come to my house she was able to stay calm. Dr. Clem was very empathetic, explaining everything she did. I would highly recommend this service and have to my friends.

Dr. Sarah was/is wonderful. She was both professional and kind, when we had to say goodbye to our beloved Petey. I can't recommend her enough.

Dr. Sarah Clem helped us through one of the hardest moments our family has faced — saying goodbye to our beloved dog, Dexter. From the moment she arrived, she brought a sense of calm, compassion, and professionalism that immediately put us at ease. She never rushed the process and allowed us the time and space we needed. Dr. Clem was incredibly gentle and caring with Dexter, treating him with such dignity and kindness. What meant the most to us was how she took the time to ask thoughtful questions about Dexter’s life and our favorite memories with him. Those moments helped shift the focus from the pain of the goodbye to remembering the joy he brought to our family. Her empathy and warmth made an incredibly difficult experience feel peaceful and meaningful. We are so grateful for the care she provided Dexter and the comfort she gave our family. I truly cannot thank her enough.
