Dr. John Crawford

Dr John Crawford was the kindest person during a time our world was falling apart. He made the transition for our boy Boo easy. We are shattered by Boo’s passing, as the decision was extremely hard to make. And I needed the extra piece that Dr Crawford gave us, as we were making the right call. Thank you for your caring on one of the worse days our lives. Kindness matters.

I can’t thank Dr. John enough for his compassion for helping Cooper pass over the bridge in our home. He is very caring and professional and would highly recommend him.

Dr Crawford was extremely caring and kind. He allowed me the space and time I needed to say my last good byes. I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.

I would like to thank Dr. John Crawford for his care and support this week. I made the decision to liberate my 13 year old dog, Toro, and the gentleness and kindness shown by Dr. Crawford helped me support Toro in his last moments. Dr. Crawford was prompt to arrive at my home in Baltimore City. He spoke calmly and lovingly to Toro throughout the procedure and was very kind to his "brothers" as they gave their goodbyes. There was no anxiety or concern for Toro, he rested peacefully. Equal care was provided as Toro was carried out of our home. Thank you again, Dr. Crawford.

For as hard of a process saying good bye to our beloved pet has been, Dr. Crawford eased our fears, worries and grief through out the whole thing.

Dr. Crawford was amazing! Incredibly gentle, kind & compassionate. He was so loving towards our old man, Mosse. My heart goes out to all my fellow paw-parents. No one ever wants to have to contact Laps of Love, as we know heartbreak soon follows. However, when that dark day comes, Dr. Crawford, with his love & compassion, will make it a little brighter. Dr. Crawford went above & beyond, when a week later, he hand-delivered our boy's ashes. Sadly, this was second experience with Laps of Love. We strongly urge others to contact Laps of Love, as it is the last act of love you can show your 'baby', in the comfort of your own home, surrounded by all of your baby's loved ones.

I felt God sent Dr Crawford to us during this difficult time. He was such a patient, kind, professional with just a calm demeanor. I’ve never met anyone like him and have already recommended him to a friend who is waiting for the right time to say goodbye for her older dog. I hope I can use him in the future with my other two dogs. He’s the very best person for this job. I can’t say enough good about him!!"

John helped make one of the toughest days of my life just a little easier. He has a genuine compassion for the animals and the grieving pet parents. As we were laying my beloved Loki to rest, my two collies laid down next to him. His peacefulness helped to overcome the stress and grief of the moment. I highly recommend Dr. John Crawford.

In home pet euthanasia. I'd never thought the day I'd have to say good buy to my baby Greta would even take place. She was the kindest doggie anyone could ever hope for. I don't want to make you sad as you contemplate your own good bye. But, I will tell you that deciding to have Dr. Crawford, with CodaPed, in home pet euthanasia is one of the best decisions I've made for my Greta. Dr Crawford was on time, and very caring. The moment he arrived at my home in his uniform and with a kind smile in his expression, I knew I'd made the right choice. He petted her and spent time getting to know her, he gave me time with her, he allowed me to shower her with all my love, and when the time was right, my little little baby started snoring in her bed and shortly after she crossed her rainbow bridge. I can honestly say it was the most peaceful transition I've ever seen. I am extremely grateful I was able to do that for her. I thank CodaPet for allowing me to get in touch with a compassionate being as Dr. Crawford. Thank you so much for being there for me and my baby. I know she is at peace and no longer in pain now, that comforts me. In home pet euthanasia with Dr. John Crawford is the right choice. (Thank you for being there for us.)

Good morning…I’m good today following the passing of my 17 year old Husky thanks to Codapet in-home euthanasia services. It was not a solemn occasion, I had Dr. John Crawford who is active military and a veterinarian responsible for taking care of dogs with the US Army and Navy come to our home. The whole process took about two hours and 45 minutes as he sat on the floor with me getting to know both of my dogs and got them both so comfortable that they fell asleep right in front of him he then gave my Husky Zira a powerful sedative in the nape of her neck. After a time, my Husky Zira She started a deep sleep snoring peacefully with CeeLo our Black Lab a couple of inches from Zira not knowing anything had happened and we continue to just pet her and let the sedative take affect for the next hour and 20 minutes as Dr. Crawford did not want to rush this and give me and Zira the time we needed. Once I indicated that I was ready and he had checked that the Husky felt no reflexes from the pinching of the skin between her toes he gave the final needle stopping her heart within about 30 to 45 seconds Dr. Crawford let me lay with her and CeeLo for as long as I wanted, which was about 20 more minutes. Meanwhile, ALEX, my godson and Willie my godfather were alarm in the sunroom with us sitting there peacefully. Dr. Crawford the veterinarian, then retrieved a pet stretcher from his car, and soft velour blanket, folded in such a way that we could gently lift my Husky from her bed to the soft blanket. We gently lifted her onto the stretcher where she was covered with the blanket with her face exposed and strapped onto the pet stretcher with the care you would exhibit for a small child… I couldn’t think of a better sendoff for a person or Fur baby. I overwhelmingly recommend Codapet to for home-based end of life services for your Fur Babies. With regard to the Veterinarian that came to our home Dr. John Crawford with the United States Army has the disposition of a seasoned Chaplin and is one of the most compassionate people I’ve ever met.

Dr.Crawford made a hard situation a beautiful experience. He helped our sweet dog Shanti feel comfortable and our family to have the space and time to say goodbye in our home with Shanti in her bed. I couldn’t have asked for a more sensitive and supportive Dr to aid our sweet fur baby on her journey home. Thank you Dr Crawford and Codapet

Dr. Crawford was a gift to us in our final moments with our sweet boy. This was me and my partners first dog together, our first child! Dr. Crawford is one of the most emphatic people I’ve ever met. I could tell instantly his respect for our grief and his care for our dog. Not only did he perform the in home pet euthanasia, informing us every step of the way, but he was very compassionate towards our grief. Dr. Crawford took his time and even asked if we needed more time with our dog. We were comforted knowing our dog did not have to move from his own home and bed before he passed. He was able to finally be relaxed like the good ole young days and we were able to say goodbye again while he was without pain before he was officially euthanized. This has to be the hardest job in the world and we are beyond grateful we chose Dr. Crawford.

Dr. John Crawford was wonderful. He is incredibly kind and compassionate and very professional. Saying good-bye to Cooper with in-home pet euthanasia and Dr. Crawford made a difficult decision much less stressful for Cooper and the rest of our family including our dog who was able to say her good-bye to him.

Dr. Crawford is far and away the kindest human being I have ever met. Before he even shook my hand he said “I’m sorry we have to meet this way.” He brought such a peaceful presence to what I knew was going to be one of the most difficult days I’ve had to go through. Our appointment was scheduled for an hour and it ended up taking almost two. Fortunately for my wife and I there were moments of levity during the appointment and John didn’t miss a beat adding to that levity. When everything was finished he placed a firm grip on my shoulder to let me know my sweet girl crossed the rainbow bridge and I could see in his face that he shared my pain. That level of compassion was unexpected but incredibly welcomed. Should anyone else find themselves having to make the same difficult choice I had to make I encourage you reach out to Dr. Crawford.

Dr. John Crawford is truly an exceptional veterinarian—compassionate, patient, and deeply caring. He helped my beloved dog, Dada, pass peacefully, guiding me through one of the most difficult moments of my life with such kindness and understanding. His gentle approach made all the difference, and I will always be grateful for the care he provided. He went above and beyond by thoughtfully making sure I had Dada’s paw print, even hand-delivering it. That level of kindness speaks volumes about his dedication to both his patients and their families. Dr. Crawford is an absolute angel—God-sent during such a heartbreaking time. He is not only a skilled professional but also a genuinely kindhearted person. Anyone lucky enough to have him as their vet will be in the best hands. Thank you, John, for everything!

We wanted our beloved Rosie, a beautiful golden retriever, to die at home but our veterinarian wasn’t set up for that service. Her health decline dramatically on Friday night so, on Saturday morning, we searched online, found CodaPet, and discovered that Dr. John Crawford could come to our home later that morning. We could not have hoped for someone more patient, kind, compassionate, and professional than John. As soon as he entered our home, we were enveloped by his gentle, calming presence. He was a warm, comforting light in one of the darkest days of our lives. He ensured that Rosie died without pain or anxiety while being surrounded by her loving family. He's earned our family's eternal gratitude.
