Verified Veterinarian
I became a vet because of my love for people; by caring and attending for pets, I am directly influencing that person's well-being. I started performing in-home euthanasia during the Pandemic as a way to extend veterinary reach to individuals and their pets that may not have had another option. Providing in- home-euthanasia for families who wish to keep their furry household member calm and at ease during their final moments is another way that I can support families during a difficult and intimate time.

It was very hard to lose my beautiful Medusa but she went very peacefully. Dr. Cherissa was very soft spoken and explained every step in great detail. This procedure was done at home which is why my Dusa didn't suffer.
Friendly, caring, compassionate. Immediately felt like I had a friend who helped me through a difficult time. Would recommend this service and vet to anyone facing this issue.
Dr. Cherissa Abdul Hamid was outstanding . She was extremely patient , compassionate , professional and kind . I highly recommend her .
Dr. Abdul was wonderful. She was very caring and sympathetic. She treated our beautiful fur baby with love and was thorough in explaining each step of the euthanization process. Stellar service.
Dr. Hamid was a consummate professional. Her expert care was invaluable to us during Swayze’s end of life care. She was a kind and calm presence for all of us. Swayze’s appointment was so peaceful. There was no doubt that he was comfortable until the end. I cannot recommend this service more.
Making the decision to end our beloved Cabbage's suffering was one of the hardest decisions we had to make as a family. She was only 6 years old and had been fighting advanced kidney disease for about 6 months. We had scheduled euthanasia with our vet for Monday morning. On Saturday, our sweet girl was in so much pain we knew that it could not wait until Monday morning. I called Coda and Dr. Hamid was able to come to our home within a few hours. Her calming presence made the experience as easy as it could be under the circumstances. I highly recommend Coda and Dr. Hamid for anyone facing the loss of a pet. Allowing Cabbage to pass peacefully at home surrounded by her family was the best decision we could have made.
