Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
From the time I could pronounce the word, I wanted to be a veterinarian (around 5 years old) and I never wavered from that goal. I have been a veterinarian for over 35 years and still love every minute of my profession. I never felt being a veterinarian was a career choice, but rather a calling. I have strived to provide the best care possible for my patients, with special attention to reducing their pain and suffering. To this end, I have many years providing home euthanasia for family pets. I have always felt profoundly honored to be chosen by a family to help their beloved pet pass from their suffering to a place where they are free. To do so in the comfort of their own home (or other special place) is so much more dignified and intimate for the patient and their family.

What pet parents are saying
Dr. Noe had a very calm and kind disposition. She understood our grief and helped us feel comfortable while saying goodbye to our 16 year old dog. Euthanasia at home was absolutely the best gift we gave our dog - she was able to peacefully pass while being with family, in her own bed, in her own loving home, and even with our cat staying close by. Our dog had no stress during the process whatsoever, just relief. Thank you Dr. Noe.
I thought Dr Noe was professional but a I also felt rushed in a way. Once Onyx had passed she had almost left hurriedly out the door, not allowing me ample time with Onyx. But I did express I do want more time before she leaves. She was understanding and left to her car to take her medical bags and came back. I helped her to her car and she gave me more time at her car.
I was very glad we were able to say our goodbye to our dog at home.Dr. Noe was both professional and reassuring. I would highly recommend her.
Thank goodness for Dr. Noe. We weren't aware of all of our options to help us with our suffering dog. We found that in-home euthanasia is the best option, by far. Think about how stressful is would be for a dog, that doesn't even want to be moved, to go to a vet office. CodaPet is who we chose and Dr. Noe was very comforting and made us and our dog feel at ease from start to finish. I should add that she was in no rush and gladly took the time for us to say our goodbyes. I highly recommend CodaPet and Dr. Noe. Thanks again!
Dr. Noe was fantastic. It was time for our 15 year old dog to pass on and Dr. Noe had a great bedside manner, especially with our kids who had never lost a pet before. Very kind, thoughtful, and professional. Thanks, Dr. Noe!
When we had another cat put to sleep in a hospital it was very clinical. Garfield had an IV and was drugged. This time Dr. Noe made it a very peaceful passing. We were with her the entire time and she was able to be at home until the end. This is the best way for a pet to pass.
