In-Home Pet Euthanasia

Dr. Lori was so kind and compassionate both to my cat and me. She gently answered my many questions, giving me time to come to the necessary conclusion. Upon reflection, I believe that she knew how ill Scamps was when she first saw her, but she examined her gently, giving me time I needed. Scamps died peacefully in my bed with us loving on her. I highly recommend Dr. Lori as an at-home vet.

I am writing to share my recent experience with one specific vet, with the hope that my feedback will help others. Last Monday, I did not have a pleasant experience with the veterinarian who came to our home, Dr. Orth. I made the appointment through Coda Pet and called her directly, the main purpose being to connect with her emotionally since she would be involved in such a significant event in our lives. She called me back on Sunday night (the night before our appointment) and left a message saying that Sundays are her “family day” and to text her with any questions. My husband called her anyway, and explained to her that our pet was like our child since we do not have human children and that our main focus was to be as sensitive and kind as possible. The point didn’t seem to get across as she still seemed distant and technical. At the time of the appointment, she was late because she didn’t fully read the notes I had given Coda Pet for our address. This made me wonder if I had included any other important notes, whether she would have bothered to read those either. When she arrived, I still hoped to make some kind of connection. I told her, “You smell nice,” but she looked at me and somehow misheard me and said, “Do I smoke?” She then tried to make small talk, and at some point called my boy a “fluffy cotton ball,” which was uncomfortable and not appropriate given the circumstance. The process itself did not go well. The initial injection was intramuscular and excruciating for my boy, and he cried a lot. I’m not sure if there was a gentler way to administer it, perhaps a subq lidocaine injection prior would have made the caustic intramuscular injection more tolerable. As he got sleepy, I held my boy in my arms. I requested that I want to hold him, and was assured he would pass in my arms. But after poking him a couple of times, she was not able to get a vein. She had him lie down on my leg, where she proceeded to inject him in the liver. I was unprepared for this, as I was told I would hold him the entire time. She then listened to his heart with a stethoscope and specifically said, “I WILL TELL YOU WHEN HE IS CLOSE," giving me the impression I would be able to pick him up and hold him before he passed. She listened for a few minutes as I stared at the stethoscope, laser focused on the blinking light, waiting for her to tell me it’s close so I can lift him and hold him. But instead, she said “He’s gone, I’m sorry.” I didn’t even get to hold him like I was promised. She said she would tell me when he was close, but she didn’t. And I didn’t know when my boy left us. Then, minutes after she left, she texted my husband and I that the credit card was not processing. We thought Coda Pet had already run the card without issues. Regardless, she could have demonstrated some compassion and patience, as we were in the peak of our grief. Overall, the experience was businesslike, rushed, and lacked compassion. It was disheartening and one that will stay with me forever.

Dr. Juber is such a kind soul. She was very comforting in a very difficult decision. Great bedside manner with our Rottie during her final moments. She sat with us as we shared stories, laughed and cried while our sweet girl went to sleep. We received a very personalized card about 2 weeks later that touched all of our hearts and reassured us that we made the right decision. We can’t thank her enough for making a very sad decision a more pleasant experience.

I can't thank Dr. Sarah Clem enough for helping us with our beautiful Miss Bo...giving us the blessing of having her pass peacefully at home with our family around her. Miss Bo was a 14 year old pit bull mix and had been having trouble walking around for the last 6 months as her back legs were giving out to the point where she was dragging herself around. We were pleased to find Codapet when we asked our veterinary office, All Creatures if they provided in home euthanasia services and they provided us with Codapet's contact info. We were also pleased to see that Dr. Sarah Clem was available as she is also a Vet at All Creatures. Codapet's website was so helpful and their online scheduling made the whole experience very easy to setup and schedule payment and cremation services. Dr. Sarah gave us as much time with Miss Bo as we needed the morning she passed...and although it was hard letting her go, the way she passed in her bed with us all around her was the way it should be. She had a beautiful life and she passed peacefully which allowed us to manage getting back to our daily lives without her more easily. I can't recommend Codapet and Dr. Sarah Clem enough. We will be using them for all our future pets.

Putting a pet down is never any easy decision to make. Our 14 year old lab mix, Sam, had been on a steady decline since spring of 2024. We thought we were going to have to say goodbye in May, but with treatment of his symptoms he bounced back relatively well. However, Sam's mobility was becoming more and more limited, to the point that we would have to help him up from lying down. Sam had the unfortunate luck of contracting mange in his old age as well. After defeating the mites, it took a toll on him. My wife and I do not have children and our dogs are our kids. Sam is the youngest, but has had the roughest life. We decided the time had come for Sam to pass-on with what dignity he could. We were going to take him into the vet, but thought about the aftermath of us in a public place, getting Sam in a bag/box, then having to unwrap him at home. We opted to use an in home pet euthanasia. CodaPet was the recommended service by our Vet. We had prepared a bed outside (perfect weather), fed Sam some pizza, and loved on him until Dr. Loughmiller arrived right on time. Dr. Loughmiller was professional and concise. She answered any questions we had about the procedure and was timely the process. Her follow-up after the procedure was appreciated as well. She sent us a mailer that included a daangle decoration with a stamped metal dog paw, rainbow crystals, clear crystals, and Sam's name on a tag. Along with the Rainbow Bridge poem. It was appreciated and he hung the decoration about our kitchen sink. We will, unfortunately, be using CodaPet again in the not so distant future, since we have two other elderly dogs. Thanks for what you provide.

Losing my Yorkie baby Tank on October 23rd was the hardest thing I ever experienced. Tank was the sweetest dog we had for more than 14 years and he joined our family when he was only 8 weeks. It was a very difficult decision to schedule the appointment with Dr. Martin, and even harder to make the call at the last moment. Dr. Martin was very professional. He was patient and compassionate; explained everything in details and comforted us that we were making the right decision. Tank end up passing on his own. While Dr. Martin was examining him before the injection, Tank knew it was time for him to go. I really appreciate Dr. Martin to be there with us during this difficult time and he even personally delivered Tank (in a wooden urn) back to us one week later. Thank you so much, Dr. Martin for doing this hard job. You are helping so many pet parents...you are such a blessing to us. We also received the hand written card from him which brought us comfort. Thank you, Doctor!

We gave flynn the last best day here on earth and then decided to make the call. Dr Greta was so understanding and comforted us throughout the process she also spent some time with Flynn petting her and talked to us about the beautiful life she had here with us for 14 years. As hard as it was, I also felt comfort in knowing flynn was comfortable in her own home with her family surrounding her and with dr Greta. We cannot Thankyou enough for all that you have done, when dr Greta left our home an hour or so later I found a small vile with Flynn’s hair placed in the vile with a card offering condolences.

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!

With the difficult decision to put your best friend down, Dr Greta truly gave us the opportunity to give the last selfless gift to Flynn in the comfort of our home. We gave flynn the last best day here on earth and then decided to make the call. Dr Greta was so understanding and comforted us throughout the process she also spent some time with Flynn petting her and talked to us about the beautiful life she had here with us for 14 years. As hard as it was, I also felt comfort in knowing flynn was comfortable in her own home with her family surrounding her and with dr Greta. We cannot Thankyou enough for all that you have done, when dr Greta left our home an hour or so later I found a small vile with Flynn’s hair placed in the vile with a card offering condolences. Truly amazing, again Thankyou ! The process after with receiving the ashes as well went so quickly.

Dr. Simms was a gift during our sweet Pixie’s passing. She was compassionate, understanding, and so very comforting. We would recommend her to anyone who is ever in need of assistance during their fur baby’s end of life. We are so very grateful.

Dr. Pruett was so compassionate, so patient and so gentle with our Sweet Pea. We are so grateful she came to our home and handled this for us. It was totally worth it to go this route. CodaPet was so easy to work with, very compassionate as well. I called, made the appointment and waited for the appointment day which was not long at all. We basically got the date we asked for. I would most definitely recommend CodaPet to those who dearly love their pets. I cannot say enough about the ease and comfort received from both.

Dr. Clem made one of the worst days of my life just a little bit more bearable. I didn't have to think or really talk, she handled every step perfectly. I got my Lola back quickly and personally delivered. I hated having to make this decision but I am SOO thankful I chose Mr. Clem.

It was time to say goodbye to our senior dog, Teek. He had been ill and the symptoms were becoming more apparent. We knew it was time... Dr. Martin was able to come quickly, and was such a comfort in helping us with the decision and the procedure. Having had some experience prior, we knew what to expect. Dr. Martin took even more care, and made the process more bearable. I highly recommend his services.

This is the second pet we have had to put down in 3 months. CodaPet is a wonderful alternative then taking to a vet. Pet is in home and comfortable. While it's an unimaginable task for owners Codapet makes the transition a lot easier. Thank You CodaPet

Dr. Lowman was wonderful. She helped us transition our cat of 9 years in a way that was meaningful and less painful in a familiar environment that lessened the stress on our cat. Her bedside manner is unparalleled. She is extremely compassionate, sensitive, professional and reliable in a way that is a rare find these days. I strongly recommend her to anyone who is focusing on quality of life for their pet.

Patience and love. That is how I describe Dr Clem. She asked if it was our first time; and waited for us to get our composure and answer. It was still a sad experience. But we felt at ease and in loving hands with her being there with us and listening to our stories about our loving Dexter and his crazy antics when he was young. From the bottom of our hearts thank you for being there with us!

I am so grateful we had Dr. Lara Allison to help us through this process. I was having a difficult time deciding what was best for Guinness. Dr. Allison came to our home for a consultation. Her medical knowledge of Guinness's needs was important, but her intuitive insights into what he was experiencing and why I was struggling so much with the decision were invaluable. Just talking through all of it with her helped me tremendously. When she came to our home for our final moments with Guinness, Dr. Allison was so compassionate. Her presence allowed Guinness, and our family to make room for healing in his transition to the other side. I would highly recommend Dr. Allison to anyone who is going through the difficulty of saying goodbye to their fur baby.

This was one of the toughest experiences our family has experienced. Dr. Marlene was very professional, compassionate and informative. She made us feel very comfortable and secure in our decision to euthanize our sweet Cali Girl. I would highly recommend CodaPet.

Very kind and calm. Putting Bear down was an awful decision I did not want to make and wasn’t expecting so soon. I also appreciate she hand delivered his ashes back to us.

It was so comforting having Dr. Roberts facilitate Dozers passing. She let me pace the process and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience on such a sad day.

She was caring and sympathetic to us all. It was very difficult for us but she explained how she was going to take care of our ailing Socks! Explained the process and made us all feel areas with a very hard decision. Thank you Dr Gersten

I am writing to share my recent experience with one specific vet, with the hope that my feedback will help others. Last Monday, I did not have a pleasant experience with the veterinarian who came to our home, Dr. Orth. I made the appointment through Coda Pet and called her directly, the main purpose being to connect with her emotionally since she would be involved in such a significant event in our lives. She called me back on Sunday night (the night before our appointment) and left a message saying that Sundays are her “family day” and to text her with any questions. My husband called her anyway, and explained to her that our pet was like our child since we do not have human children and that our main focus was to be as sensitive and kind as possible. The point didn’t seem to get across as she still seemed distant and technical. At the time of the appointment, she was late because she didn’t fully read the notes I had given Coda Pet for our address. This made me wonder if I had included any other important notes, whether she would have bothered to read those either. When she arrived, I still hoped to make some kind of connection. I told her, “You smell nice,” but she looked at me and somehow misheard me and said, “Do I smoke?” She then tried to make small talk, and at some point called my boy a “fluffy cotton ball,” which was uncomfortable and not appropriate given the circumstance. The process itself did not go well. The initial injection was intramuscular and excruciating for my boy, and he cried a lot. I’m not sure if there was a gentler way to administer it, perhaps a subq lidocaine injection prior would have made the caustic intramuscular injection more tolerable. As he got sleepy, I held my boy in my arms. I requested that I want to hold him, and was assured he would pass in my arms. But after poking him a couple of times, she was not able to get a vein. She had him lie down on my leg, where she proceeded to inject him in the liver. I was unprepared for this, as I was told I would hold him the entire time. She then listened to his heart with a stethoscope and specifically said, “I WILL TELL YOU WHEN HE IS CLOSE," giving me the impression I would be able to pick him up and hold him before he passed. She listened for a few minutes as I stared at the stethoscope, laser focused on the blinking light, waiting for her to tell me it’s close so I can lift him and hold him. But instead, she said “He’s gone, I’m sorry.” I didn’t even get to hold him like I was promised. She said she would tell me when he was close, but she didn’t. And I didn’t know when my boy left us. Then, minutes after she left, she texted my husband and I that the credit card was not processing. We thought Coda Pet had already run the card without issues. Regardless, she could have demonstrated some compassion and patience, as we were in the peak of our grief. Overall, the experience was businesslike, rushed, and lacked compassion. It was disheartening and one that will stay with me forever.

Dr. Lisa Stadler is an angel of mercy, her calm energy and willingness to endure the chaos surrounding our hard decision to let our Rottweiler fly free was amazing. Highly recommend 💜

I had to say goodbye to my 10-year-old Great Dane, Hendrix, in September. I knew I wanted him to be at home, surrounded by his favorite people and as comfortable as possible. This is still a little fresh, so I won’t recount the entire experience, but I feel extremely fortunate that we ended up with Dr. Stukey. She was incredibly professional and considerate. She explained every step before proceeding and always made sure we were ready. Hendrix was often shy around new people, but he took to her immediately. He was calm and comfortable, and everything went as peacefully as I could have hoped for.
