Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

I believe precious memories with your pet should never be overshadowed by a stressful goodbye. I have firsthand experience with the stress of saying goodbye to my first dog, Willy, at the clinic, and since then being able to say goodbye to two other dogs at home. This is why a peaceful passing at home is so important to me.

What pet parents are saying

From the very first call to Codapet I could not believe how professional these people are. They walked me and my wife through every step of the process and gave us the support and confidence we were doing the best for our family companion Jade. Dr. Gary was very caring and we felt that he treated Jade as if she was his own. Dr. Gary was scheduled to be at our home at 5pm. He also called about 4 hrs earlier to see if Jade was in a lot of pain as he offered a sooner appointment if we wanted it. He was right on time and did not rush the process or act like he had other places to be. Along with Jade, Codapet and Dr. Gary, you will always be remembered in our home and hearts. Thankyou.

Dr Gary was kind, caring, compassionate and patient. He answered all our questions and gave our family time to process the loss of our sweet girl. As heartbreaking as it was to say goodbye to our fur family member, Dr. Gary made it a calm and peaceful experience.

Dr. Gary Hsia was truly amazing! I had to make the heartbreaking decision to let my Milo go. Making that decision was one of the hardest things I had to do. I knew that I wanted her to make her journey over the rainbow bridge here at home. Dr. Gary was patient and very empathetic to what our family was going through. He explained every step of the process and let us take as much time as we needed to say our final goodbyes. I would recommend him to everyone. I would give him 10 stars if I could. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

This is the second time I used Peaceful Passing aka CodaPet. It was a much better experience euthanizing our beloved pets at home. The doctor was so kind.

Dr. Gary was our vet for two of our dogs over the last six months. His kindness and ability to calm even an excitable little dog was a true blessing for us. He helped to create a beautiful passing, and their follow up with returning the ashes was also so respectful and kind. I have already recommended them too many friends for their future needs.
