Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
There is truly no better way to honor our beloved pets last wishes than to help them pass, when its time, peacefully and painlessly in their sleep, at home. I firmly believe it, because it ia a desire we all would want when that time comes.

5.0 Jan 21 2025 by Tiffany B.We have requested Dr. Whala's services three times now, and each time she has shown immense kindness, empathy, and knowledge. I appreciate her more than words can ever express. She has provided us a comfortable, peaceful and loving space to say goodbye to our fur babies in, which is priceless. Although I dread saying goodbye to my fur babies, I find solace in knowing that Dr. Whala is available to help us navigate that difficult transition. Thank you a million times over, Dr. Whala.
5.0 Jan 18 2025 by Karan C.Dr. Whala took great care of our sweet girl. She could not have passed any more peacefully and we will always appreciate Dr Whala and Coda Pet for helping us through this very difficult time.
5.0 Jan 07 2025 by Christina O.Dr. Karen is so caring and compassionate. Dr. Karen has been to my home to take care of two of my fur babies two different times. Each fur baby has their own individual needs. And Dr. Karen takes into account what’s going on with them and does what is best to keep them from being stressed, nervous or scared. So grateful for Dr. Karen. I was able to spend the time I needed and my babies went peacefully. Meant the world to me. God bless you Dr. Karen. I would recommend Dr. Karen 100%. My heart is at peace.
