Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
My motivation to offer in-home pet euthanasia comes from a deeply personal experience and a profound understanding of the bond between pets and their families. When I was a child, my family dog, Missy, was diagnosed with diabetes. Helping care for her during her illness was a pivotal moment for me, shaping my passion for veterinary medicine and deepening my empathy for both pets and their owners. Providing in-home euthanasia allows me to support families in a setting that is both intimate and comforting. From my experience, I’ve seen how much more peaceful and dignified it can be for pets to pass away at home, surrounded by their loved ones and in a familiar environment. This approach honors the special bond between pets and their families, offering a compassionate farewell in a way that truly respects their journey together.

What pet parents are saying
Dr. Fieg was incredibly empathetic and compassionate. The process went as smoothly as it could have. So much more peaceful than having to go into the vet and less stressful for our baby. We will always trust Dr. Fieg if we need to go through this with any of our other beloved pets.
A few sentences of the experiences of the CodaPet services would be completely out of context and not give a true representation of what we were feeling. Our dog loved to give boops, steal shoes when he cam inside, take walks, protect and defend us from attacking dogs, and suck his dinner down faster than a speeding SR-71 Blackbird. Then he got cancer that metastasized to his lungs , and we tried to keep him happy to enjoy all those things. We did radiation, chemo, and drug cocktails to kept him alive and happy for months after the diagnosis, months longer than he had originally been expected to live. The pain got worse, we tried another round of radiation, which worked for a few weeks, but then he got fussy over food. We would change to other tasty things for him to eat, which worked at first for a few days, then would work only for one meal, then he wouldn't eat. Because the cancer was in his leg he would hobble outside, clearly in pain, but kept his head up, laying on the grass, watching the world go by, still being a dog. He got so thin. One never knows the best time to do the euthanasia. If too soon, one feels they're depriving the dog of being a dog and enjoying life. Too late and the dog is just miserable and can't really be a dog any more. We may have had one or two more days before our boopy-boy couldn't be a dog any more, but there was no point in dragging out his agony any more. This was no longer about what we wanted, it had to be about what was best for him. Dr. Lisa from CodaPet was empathetic, caring, and knew how to make everyone comfortable, including the dog. He barked at the stranger in the house, always wanting to protect us, even if he couldn't even stand up. She showed us how to keep him calm and rest and not be aware when she gave him the sedative. He finally relaxed, the pain washing away, finally at peace at home on his own bed before she gave him the final injections. Dr. Lisa wrapped him in a blanket and we carried him to her car and we put him in the back, with some nice flowers arranged almost like it was in a funeral home. She gave us each a hug, acknowledging her job was not easy, and we pushed the button to close the tailgate, giving us our last view of our Boopy-boy, asleep, finally out of pain, leaving us with memories of a great doggie life and finally the end of a long struggle to keep him as happy as we could.
Lisa is extremely kind, thoughtful and patient. I couldn't have asked for a better person to assist my dog to the other side. If I could give 6 stars I would.
The work Dr. Lisa does is so compassionate! Thank you so much for all you did for our beloved Joey and for us the people who loved him. You deal with both sides---and you do a wonderful job at both. Again, thank you for the excellent care.
Dr Lisa was so amazing. She stayed with us and we could see her praying over our baby as she passed away. She gave us time to spend with her afterwards and even though this was the most heartbreaking experience she helped bring us peace.
Dr. Lisa Fieg is an amazing, sensitive, highly skilled vet. She spent time learning about Angel, my 16 year old beloved mini poodle. She considered how to ease his transition by encouraging consumption of his favorite food (hard-boiled egg yolks) as she administered an injection to relax him. He was so thrilled to be indulged in 4 yolks that he gobbled them up, didn’t notice the injection, and immediately fell asleep with a gentle snore. She helped me pick the perfect urn for him—it was beautifully wrapped and it even comes with a tiny key for the heart lock. It was delivered with compassion by a kind driver who kept me closely informed of his arrival. I’m so grateful for Dr. Lisa. She’s truly the best, most loving person with whom to share such a painful loss. ❤️🥲🙏🏻
