I grew up in rural Pennsylvania and, like many of my colleagues, I have loved animals since I was very young. That naturally grew into a desire to practice veterinary medicine where I could care for both pets and the people who love them. I moved to Ohio to attend Cedarville University, where I earned my bachelor’s degree in 2007 and went on to attend The Ohio State University, where I graduated with my Doctor of Veterinary Medicine in 2012. After several years in mixed animal practice, I transitioned to relief veterinary work as we started our family and had little kids in the house. During that season, I also enjoyed serving as a clinical year mentor for veterinary students at the University of Arizona. Now that our kids are a little older, I am providing in-home end-of-life care for pets. When not working, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our four wonderful kids. We also share our home with our two dogs - Tucker, our senior Havanese, Teddy, our young Whoodle (who is being trained to work as a therapy dog but still has too many zoomies to do that just yet!), and a menagerie of chickens and ducks.

I am able to help you with your bird and pocket pets too! The CodaPet platform doesn't yet allow you to choose pets other than dog or cat, so please reach out to me at jdayersdvm@gmail.com if you have a small exotic pet that needs my service. I will make every attempt to contact you within 4 to 8 hours, but I do not work overnights. As a veterinarian, I was very interested in the science and discovery behind all of the amazing advances in both human and animal medicine, so I entered into the Laboratory Animal Medicine field in 2009. Although I work full-time as a Lab Animal Vet at CSU, I see in family and friends and my own experiences that end-of-life pet care is very hard to deal with. The process of needing to take our pets into a clinic can be so stressful on both us and the pets and I think that being able to offer end of life care for pets in their own homes where they are most comfortable and where owners have privacy to grieve is a truly valuable service that I can provide to our community.

Dr. Renee Schott

Licensed Veterinarian, 16 yrs experience

I believe that every pet deserves a "good death"—one that is as peaceful and filled with love. My journey to becoming a veterinarian was actually driven by this specific mission: to provide a stress-free, pain-free transition for animals in the place where they feel safest. I grew up on a hobby farm in a small town south of Green Bay, Wisconsin. My very first pet was a chicken, and they still hold a special place in my heart! After graduating from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2009, I spent time in Chicago practicing emergency and exotic medicine, caring for everything from dogs and cats to reptiles and birds. Later, I served as the Medical Director for the largest wildlife rehabilitation center in the world. In that role, I managed the care of over 22,000 animals a year. It was there that I truly found my calling. I dedicated myself to refining euthanasia protocols, focusing on how to give even the most high-stress wild animals a calm and dignified passing. And then educating others in the field on how to do this. Because I am also a life coach, I approach every home visit with a deep sense of empathy and authenticity. My goal is to ensure your pet’s final memory is one of comfort and home, honoring the beautiful bond you’ve shared until the very last moment. When I am not helping families, I am often still teaching, writing, or helping wildlife. For my own "recharging," I enjoy the quiet of nature, the vibrant energy of live music, and spending time with my own feathered and furry friends

I'm a dedicated veterinarian with a strong passion for animals and their well-being. With 10 years of experience in veterinary services, I have honed my skills and expertise to provide top-notch care to dogs and cats. My primary focus is on delivering compassionate and personalized veterinary services to pets in the comfort of their own homes, particularly specializing in in-home pet euthanasia. Growing up on a Pulled Hereford farm in Lambertville, NJ, I was fortunate to be surrounded by animals and the animal care industry. My mother worked as a veterinary technician, and my father was involved with an animal pharmaceutical company. This upbringing immersed me in the world of animals from an early age. Alongside my hobbies of rhythmic gymnastics, ballet, and active participation in 4-H, I developed a deep appreciation for the unique bond between humans and animals. When the time came for college, I attended Clemson University, where I pursued a Bachelor of Science degree in Biological Sciences. It was during my time at Clemson that I also fell in love with football, further broadening my interests and experiences. Following my undergraduate studies, I moved to Kansas, where I had the privilege of spending time with my two living great-grandmothers. It was there that I delved into the public health program at Kansas State University while simultaneously preparing to pursue a career in veterinary medicine. In 2016, my dedication and hard work paid off when I received my Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree from Kansas State University. Equipped with a strong foundation and a burning passion for animal welfare, I embarked on my journey as an associate veterinarian just outside Kansas City. Over the course of six fulfilling years, I cultivated a deep appreciation for surgical procedures and the unique connections formed with clients and their beloved pets. In 2022, I made a life-changing decision to relocate to Iowa, where I established my own business. This endeavor allowed me to provide relief veterinary services to local clinics while also fulfilling my heartfelt commitment to offering in-home pet euthanasia services. It brings me great satisfaction to bring comfort and peace to pets and their owners during these challenging times. Beyond my professional life, farming holds a special place in my heart. I currently reside on a hobby farm, where I share my life with a variety of animals that have become cherished members of my family. I enjoy spending time outdoors, engaging in activities such as hiking, fishing, and hunting. During moments of relaxation, I find solace and creative expression in crafting, particularly through knitting. Among my personal pets are three delightful dogs—Jolene, Trace, Ketch and Dazz—who provide endless joy and companionship to me and my family. Additionally, our four cats—Rosie, Oliver, Brat Cat, and Rooster—warm our hearts and keep the farm rodent-free. Our diverse poultry, including peafowl, ducks, chickens, and turkeys, bring life and entertainment to the farm while contributing to its ecosystem. The friendly Gotland sheep not only have lovely personalities but also provide lambs and fleece every year, adding to the farm's vibrancy. For me, veterinary medicine is not just a profession but a true calling. It brings me immense happiness to care for animals and contribute to their well-being. Knowing that I am making a positive impact in the lives of both animals and their human companions is what drives me each day. With my extensive experience, genuine love for animals, and unwavering commitment to providing the best veterinary care, you can trust that your beloved pets will receive the utmost compassion and expertise under my care.

I was raised in Opelika, Alabama and attended Vanderbilt University as an ROTC midshipman for the navy, and then Auburn's College of Veterinary Medicine, graduating in 1987. I was the founding and first veterinarian at the Emergency Pet Hospital in Naples, Florida in 1993 and Belmont Animal Hospital near Charlotte in 2000. On 01/01/01, I married a fantastic gal in Nevada (Diane from Pennsylvania), who I had met when treating one of her rescues in the middle of the night in Florida in 1997. We settled in North Carolina as a midway point between our hometowns, built a clinic and started our family. Some health challenges ended my second stint as a practice owner and by 2005, I found myself back in Diane's home town helping to raise our two daughters in Pottstown, PA. I live on an old, small farm in northern Chester Country and my services on behalf of Codapet will be based from there. For fun, I play guitar and sing to the animals until they run off. Since 2008, we have been providing a full spectrum of medical, surgical and dental services at The Affordable Spay Neuter Clinic in Pottstown, PA, which was established below Diane's Pet Supplies and Adoption Center, for pet families who have found that modern veterinary care was no longer financially accessible. When we opened ASNC, over 5 million dogs and cats we being killed in "shelters" in our country every year. The biggest reason for the killing has always been the cost of pet ownership, including sterilization surgery. We had to help. Our tiny clinic ultimately performed over 24 thousand low cost surgeries and dental procedures before closing in early 2025, due entirely to my own accumulated wear and tear. Since we have found no one with the skill set or inclination to continue this mission in our basement surgical clinic, I "retired" and ASNC is sadly no more. The demand for affordable care remains great. Along the way, we photographed many of the surgery cases and unusual animals treated at ASNC since 2008. There was frequently no other clinic that would say yes and we tried hard to never say no. Treating critters for licensed wildlife educators was a bonus and it is always great fun to try and provide medical care and not get eaten, butted, constricted or impaled. Much of it is still on our Facebook/affordablespay page if you would like to see some of our adventures in Pottstown. My legendary wife, Diane Dietch, has rescued and adopted over 15 thousand pets into good homes through her non-profit adoption center since 1989. We both were deep in the trenches of animal rescue many years before it was fashionable and Diane is still there through Diane's Pet Rescue (https://www.ddpets.com).

Licensed Veterinarian, 12 yrs experience

(13) reviews

Dr. Meghan Salerian, a compassionate veterinarian, graduated from Tuskegee University School of Veterinary Medicine in 2012. Her journey in veterinary medicine led her to Washington, D.C., where she served as an ER veterinarian for four years. During her time there, she not only cared for countless animals but also found love in her husband, Justin. Meghan's dedication to helping more clinics and patients led her to transition into relief work, extending her reach to provide care to those in need. In 2016, Dr. Salerian and her husband decided to make New Orleans their home, captivated by the city's rich culture, vibrant music scene, warm-hearted people, and mouthwatering cuisine. Their family expanded with the arrival of two beautiful children, adding to their already lively household, which includes a fluffy goldendoodle and a sweet cat, creating a charming little zoo at home. Meghan continues her work in relief veterinary care, passionately helping those in her community while also offering the invaluable service of in-home pet euthanasia, allowing pets to peacefully pass away in the comfort of their own homes. Meghan's journey into veterinary medicine began at a young age when she started volunteering at local shelters and clinics in Malaysia at the tender age of seven. Her fascination with the mysteries and science of veterinary care, coupled with her deep sense of empathy and the desire to help animals, propelled her toward her lifelong calling. A pivotal moment at the age of ten, witnessing a suffering puppy find calm and peaceful passage during euthanasia, reinforced her commitment to this profession. Meghan believes that providing this last gift of peace is the ultimate act of compassion and love for our beloved pets. In her spare time, Dr. Salerian and her husband indulge their love for adventure by traveling, scuba diving, and engaging in outdoor sports. They also share their passion for exploration with their children, introducing them to diverse cultures and places around the world. Their furry family members include Monty, a lively 9-month-old goldendoodle, and Abby, a wise 10-year-old cat, along with fond memories of two beloved vet school puppies who found solace in Meghan's care during their golden years. Meghan's unwavering dedication to bringing peace to pets and their families during their most challenging times is a testament to her compassion and commitment to the well-being of animals and the people who love them.

This is the second time our family has used this service and the first with Dr. Earls. She was incredible in such a traumatic time. My sweet dog started failing fast and we scheduled it same day as we made the final decision. I cried the entire time and not once did Dr. Earls make me feel stupid or small. She listened to me, showed me such empathy, and talked me through every step. She also waited for my permission before each time she moved on so I was ready. I am grateful that if I had to go through something so sad, it was with someone like Dr. Earls.

Dr. Devlin was wonderful, kind, and patient with my wife and me. He gave us clear explanations of the procedure, and allowed us the time that we needed for such an impossible task.

Dr. Courtney was absolutely perfect and made the passing of Mercedes as peaceful and loving as it possibly could've been. Thank you so much for doing what you do. Having her come to my home was the best thing I could do for Mercedes. ❤️

Dr. Lisa made herself available for a last-minute urgent call for us and she couldn’t have been more lovely and caring. This is obviously a challenging and sad time for anyone in the position to call. She treated it with reverence and kindness. Feel lucky to have had her.

My beautiful miniature dachshund, Nala, crossed the rainbow bridge today and Dr. Katie Simpson was there to help with the journey. Dr. Katie was kind, gentle and compassionate - a terrific human. I never felt rushed and she explained everything kindly and thoroughly. Dr. Katie turned a terrible day into a bearable one. Thank you very much!
