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.

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.
This was our first experience with at home pet euthanasia and we are so happy that it was recommended to us. Our sweet boy Kuma, became terrified of the vet in his later years but this option enabled him to be totally at ease for the whole process. As heartbreaking as it is to lose him we are so grateful we could offer him the comfort of his favorite spot in the yard surrounded by all his familiar smells and people. Dr. Abdul was wonderful and understanding in every way, we were glad to have her help through this process.
Dr. Hamid was so very respectful and caring while helping us go through a really tough time. Her gentleness was comforting and her explanations of the process were clear and helpful. She has a talent for what she does! Thank you Dr. Hamid.
Dr. Abdul is a very kind, caring, and understanding veterinarian. She treated our family with respect and gave us comfort that our pet’s last few moments would be easy for him. Dr. Abdul was able to calmly explain the procedure and review and confirm our after-procedure requests. She gave our pet the quiet, at-home passing he deserved. We also appreciate Dr. Abdul’s choice of Emerson’s Pet Crematorium as they were also very kind and thoughtful.
She was absolutely wonderful, she made a difficult time as easy as possible. I will definitely use Codapet for my other animals, when that time comes.
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.
