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. Lisa was very caring and kind. Her compassion and comfort made losing our Dodger a peaceful process. She took time with us and patiently waited until we were as ready as we could be to let him go. Her car was even decorated in the back where he was transported. Thank you Dr. Lisa
Dr Lisa Fieg was so compassionate in the transition of our sweet Bella over the rainbow bridge. It is a tough decision and process but when you are ready, this is the most comforting way to do proceed. We miss our girl everyday but the memory of the loving goodbye will always be in our hearts.
Codapet is an excellent service for those who want their pets to make a peaceful transition. Dr Fieg was very kind and understanding. She throughly and gently explained every step of the transition. We felt supported and loved through every step. Thank you Dr Lisa Fieg for making Kingston’s goodbye peaceful and dignified.
She was very understanding and helpful with what we had to do after his death and where we had to take his body to verify that he did not have rabies even though he had all of his shots.Cisco was very comfortable cuddling with me with his head on my leg. She came from behind the couch, so he was not even aware of her, to give his shots.
Dr. Fieg was very compassionate mand she made the process very easy for us. I appreciate that she gave us time and allowed us to decide how we wanted to proceed. I am very appreciative of her and will always remember her kindness.
Dr Lisa provided quality of care by demonstrating compassion and understanding for our process and love for our Luna. She was professional and emphatic.
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. ❤️🥲🙏🏻
Dr. Lisa Fieg of CodaPet was the most knowledgeable and sensitive veterinary professional our pet loving family has ever met. We highly recommend her for anyone facing the inevitable loss of their beloved 4-legged family member. We had in home euthanasia, we could not ask for a better kind Dr.
Dr. Lisa was the most compassionate person in what was a very difficult time for my family and I. Thank you Dr. Lisa for helping our loving Tara pass on pain free and calmly n our home.
Dr. Lisa Fieg was very accommodating and compassionate while providing in-home euthanasia services for my rapidly declining Basset Hound. She came out the same night after hearing that my dog was experiencing seizures. I highly recommend her for anytime one has to euthanize their pet and wants to have it done at home.
The vet was very passionate and caring when it came to our beloved dog. She provided emotional support in a time of loss of our beloved pet. I would definitely recommend a service again to anyone that needs to say goodbye to their pet.
We were in a bad place. Early hours on a Saturday morning...we were able to make an online appointment and Dr. Lisa was on time and as caring as anyone could be with our beloved dog ""Pappi". She was clear and let us take whatever time we needed.
Thank you Dr. Fieg for your service, being empathetic, availability and walking me through the process. It was the service I need ed to be at peace to say my final goodbye to my Maya. Thank you 🙏🏼.
Dr. Lisa Fieg was extremely supportive and helpful during this time for us. It was a very tough time having to put down our beloved dog. She arrived well prepared, gave us our moments to grieve and say goodbye, and was very gentle throughout the whole process. Wouldn't have done it any other way.
Dr. Fieg is so caring and compassionate. We are so grateful she was able to give our Tahoe peace while being snuggled at home with us. She gave us the time we needed with him and was so kind.
This was one of the hardest decisions I have ever had to make in my whole life. But, as painful as it was, I am so very glad that I went with CodaPet to help me send my baby girl over the Rainbow bridge. As the pet parent of an 18 year old cat, I had started to think about whether or not I wanted to do something like this about a year ago and I leaned more and more toward this option because I wanted my baby to go in her own home, surrounded by love and safety. I looked up options and something kept drawing me to CodaPet. I saw that they had a solid 5 star reviews and I can definitely see why. Dr Lisa Fieg was such an absolute comfort. She had such a phenomenal bedside manner and I couldnt have asked for a better suited person for the moment. She helped me get through the hardest day of my life and I couldnt be more grateful. I dont wish this type of moment on my worst enemy, but if you are faced with the decision and are on the fence, please just know that it will be the best decision you've ever made. It is with infinite love and gratitude that I thank Dr Fieg and CodaPet for allowing me to have my last moments with my baby at home.
We’ve been rescuing retired racing greyhounds for many years and thus have had to send a number of beautiful dogs over the rainbow bridge. Our latest was handled by Dr. Lisa Fieg with CodaPet and it was awesomely and very lovingly handled. Of all the ways to handle the end of life for a beloved dog, this is absolutely the best. Our Josie was surrounded by her loving family and felt the love as she drew her last breath. Thank you Dr. Lisa❣️
I’m so grateful for this vet and the experience I had putting my baby down. I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way, in the crappiest way. I highly recommend
Lisa was perfect in every way, I 💯 recommend her. She made the worst day a little bit easier and was so compassionate. She let me spend as much time as I needed with him before and after, and I can’t even describe how special those moments were for me. On another note, making an appointment was just clicking a time. She showed up on time and kept in full contact with me. I initially tried this with a very popular company in Los Angeles and they caused me so much grief… never calling back, claiming to be 24/7 as I watched my boy spend his last night in unnecessary pain… so do your pet a favor and use Lisa/Codapet.
Dr. Lisa Fieg administered the euthanasia for our beloved dog Ash. It was an extremely painful time for our family but Dr. Lisa was compassionate, gentle with our beautiful doggy, she explained everything clearly and simple to understand the procedure.... Dr. Lisa has a soft, calming voice and gentle touch, she made him (and us) feel comfortable. Her car inside was made up so pretty with a basket and flowers to send our beautiful boy away....... Dr. Lisa created calm, peaceful passing for our dog, it was a good experience on that horrible day and we are thankful to Dr. Lisa Fieg for her unique approach. Highly recommend Dr. Lisa Fieg for your pets.
Honestly, I don’t normally leave reviews but the experience we had with Dr. Lisa and an at home euthanasia was truly phenomenal. Whilst it was such a sad and heartbreaking time for us, being in the comfort of our own home and having our sweet dog Freud’s last moments be in his familiar surroundings with a vet that truly cared and was so kind, was extremely special. Like most pet owners we were battling with whether we had made the right decision, but Dr. Lisa took one look at Freud and said it definitely was the right time. He immediately went up to her and seemed extremely comfortable in her presence. It also seemed as though he knew what she was there for. We went with Freud out to our back garden. It was a beautiful sunny day and the sun was shining down on all of us. Freud was so calm and at ease. He rested his head on my husband’s lap we said our goodbyes and he gently drifted off for the last time. I feel so grateful for Dr. Lisa and the wonderful service Codapet gives for families going through this upsetting time. If you are wondering whether it is worth it or it makes a difference, I wholeheartedly say it does. My father was a vet, and I grew up taking my pets to the clinics and hospitals- but this experience was different. Thank you to Dr Lisa for making this a unique transition. We miss our boy, but feel grateful we got to say goodbye in this way.
She made the difficult decision a lot easier with her expert knowledge and experience and just her being here made the whole experience less stressful. Thanks again Roger and Mary Jenison
Making the decision to say goodbye to your pet is one of the most difficult things a person can do. Dr. Fieg was so kind and empathetic and helped me feel confident I made the correct choice for my dog. Using this service to have it done in my home made the whole thing so peaceful for my pup, I’m so grateful it was able to be done in that way. I highly recommend the service and I highly recommend Dr. Fieg.
We had Dr Lisa come to our house October 1st to help us help our sweet Beast crossover. Dr Lisa was so sweet and explained how everything was going to happen. She was so gentle with our baby,she was so gentle with us too. The entire experience was so calm and peaceful and at no point did she make us feel rushed. I'm so thankful that we decided to do the at home euthanasia. I wouldn't do this any other way. From the bottom of our hearts thank you so much Dr Lisa.
Dr. Lisa was an absolute Godsend. She was warm and kind. Did everything right and when she left with my doggy, I was at peace because he was at peace. I cannot say enough about her and the excellent care she took of our whole family.
I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Dr. Lisa Fieg for the compassionate care she provided when helping our senior dog, Mochi, cross the rainbow bridge. Dr. Fieg was not only professional but also incredibly courteous and respectful throughout the entire process. She took the time to understand our grief and allowed us the space to say our final goodbyes to Mochi without feeling rushed. Her gentle and empathetic approach helped us navigate a very difficult moment with comfort and dignity. We are truly thankful for her support during such an emotional time.
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.
Booking the appt was easy through the website. I had been thinking about at home euthanasia for months. I am so glad we decided to use Codapet. Dr Lisa Fieg was calm, caring and knowledgeable about the whole occasion and procedure. You really feel her empathy and respect for your situation and our Kingston. He was the best boy anyone could ever have. Thank you Dr Lisa for making Kingston’s transition so peaceful and dignified.
Dr. Lisa Fieg is one of the most caring vets my family and I have met in many years. We recently had to put down our beloved 16 year old dog Dory. Dr. Fieg provided us a memorable last day with her and was respectful of our grief. She gave us plenty of time with Dory in her final moments and made sure to inform us what was happening every step of the way without rushing. I truly respect her and her work because she respected how Dory was more than just our dog, she was a member of our family. This experience was worth every penny and we would do it again in a heartbeat. Thank you Dr. Fieg!
Dr. Lisa was super. Very calm and caring. It was so much better than going to a cold vet office to do the procedure. My little Tootsie felt no pain, went right to sleep and then was injected. She brought a cute basket and doggie blanket to place her in upon leaving. As painless as possible even though so sad to lose her.
Dr. Lisa Feig was wonderful. We have 2 young children and Dr. Feig was very sweet with them - answering their questions. It made a real difference that our family be there four our sweet kitty and Dr. Feig helped facilitate that. No one wants to lose a pet, but we'd like to have Dr. Feig be there when it happens in the future.
We couldn’t have had a more understanding compassionate Veterinarian than Dr. Lisa Fieg from CodaPet to handle our in home pet euthanasia. The stress of having to put down what we all considered a member of the family was just heartbreaking. Dr. Lisa prepared us and explained what she was going to do and gave more than ample time to be with and say farewell to our handsome little boy Joey (Ragdoll) cat. She treated the entire visit with the utmost compasion, respect and patience, allowing us time to prepare ourselves and never making us feel rushed. I can't recommend Dr Lisa enough for how she got us through this necessary event. It was all gentle, peaceful and looked painless. When a situation like this comes up, you don't know who to call or who to ask for, call CodaPet. I have already told a few friends and family members about our experience with Dr Lisa.
We cannot recommend Dr. Lisa enough! It was a difficult decision to say goodbye to our beloved, Sammy, but she made the visit as comfortable as possible. Sammy went peacefully over the rainbow bridge and for that we are truly grateful. Dr. Lisa never made us feel rushed, we got to spend as much time with Sammy as we wanted to. Thank you Dr. Lisa for your care and dedication to our pets.
Having to say goodbye to my old girl Ripley was so heartbreaking and I could not have asked for a better person than Dr. Lisa Fieg to help me through it. She was so kind, caring, and understanding. Being in our home, surrounded by so many people who loved Ripley, and with Dr. Fieg's calming presence made this solemn occasion a very peaceful and memorable one. Thank you Dr. Fieg!
Dr. Lisa was so patient and gentle. I have anxiety and my Barnaby was my baby boy. She talked me through every step and did not rush anything. She gave me time to grieve with my boy before he left with her. Amazing!!
Dr. Lisa was fantastic! This was the first time for us to put a pet to sleep so it was difficult. Dr. Lisa explained every step and what to expect. She even gave us time after our cat passed to be quiet with her. Zoey our kitty was treated so well and we feel so blessed to be able to help release her from her pain. Thank you Coda Pet for a wonderful experience.
Dr. Fieg was sensitive, caring, unrushed and kind. Tiger went into a deep sleep before his leg was shaved and the catheter inserted for the final step. He spent his last moments with his family on his spot on the sofa. Worth the extra dollars to have everything done right. Sad but perfect.
Dr Fieg was legitimately the absolute perfect person to help me through this process. She was kind, patient, and warm. Everything I needed in such a turmoiled and painful time. I am so grateful to her for her kindness. I don't think I can put into words how amazing her energy was as I made the hardest decision of my life, start to finish. From the moment she called me when I had to rush the appointment, I knew the powers that be sent her to me for a reason. Thank you, Dr. Fieg. You have no idea how much your warmth and your big-hearted nature helped me through such a difficult moment. I will never forget you.
Losing a pet is never easy, especially for a young child. A year after being diagnosed with cancer, we finally made the hard decision to lay our fur baby Hachi, down to rest. Dr.Lisa Fieg was exceptional. She was kind and patient. Our German shepherd had never taken to strangers very easily, but he welcomed Dr.Lisa into our home with love and lots of kisses. It was as if they had been best friends all along. Dr.Lisa was very thorough in walking us through the process with a kind heart. I couldn’t have asked for a better way to lay my pup to rest. He never looked uncomfortable. In fact, it was the most at peace I had seen him in a long time. I am forever grateful to Dr.Lisa for making the most unpleasant situation as pleasantly possible under the given circumstances. Dr.Lisa was very thoughtful with every detail of the process. My 80 year old grandmother wanted to give our shepherd a kiss good bye , but couldn’t get to her knees , and Dr.Lisa suggested that she wait until we get him loaded into the truck so that he would be at her level. When we arrived at Dr.Lisa’s car, we were pleasantly surprised to see how she had decorated the back of her SUV. It was as if he was in a funeral home. She had decorated with flowers, it didn’t look like we were just throwing our pup into someone’s trunk. This is just one example of her thoughtfulness. We were all a mess of emotion and lacked mental clarity, Dr.Lisa’s helpful suggestions to our ever need was irreplaceable. Thank you Dr.Lisa from the bottom our hearts to yours for everything you were for our family today. ♥️
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.
I did leave one review. Lisa was so wonderful I decided to leave another one. It was an amazing experience. She helped us through what could have been a horrible experience. We didn’t have to travel, we didn’t have to worry if Porky was in pain. We didn’t have to worry about her remains. Everything was handled with love and dignity. I thought of it was a very spiritual ceremony. Porky was a feral cat we convinced to become our pet and she was inside and outside the house. We felt that for what we paid we got peace of mind. Lisa is an angel.
In the darkest hour for my father’s beloved companion, a Labradoodle named Joey, Dr. Lisa came to the rescue. Joey’s condition had been worsening for several months, and my aged father was no longer able to provide the necessary care for Joey. Joey’s health had declined sharply in recent months, and it had become clear that his quality of life had dropped so far that it was time to find someone to administer the final act of love for him. When we contacted Dr. Lisa we knew from the first phone call with her that we had reached a compassionate and caring doctor. On her arrival we found her to be empathetic and deeply caring in her treatment of Joey; she also took the time to make a compassionate connection with my father. Dr. Lisa brought out a thick blanket and some pillows to make Joey as comfortable as she possibly could, and with loving words and gentle touch, she helped him on his final journey. Joey’s pain was at an end, and the loving hands of the doctor did all that was possible to ease his transition out of this world. I really can’t say enough about how wonderful Dr. Lisa was; she was extremely competent, professional in the extreme, and still managed to make herself a part of our family for the time she was with us. Mingled with my father’s sadness over losing his beloved companion were some tears of gladness, for the tender and gentle treatment administered by Dr. Lisa Fieg.
My experience with Dr.Lisa was so loving / comforting. She made the process very comfortable for my family and I , through this hard time. Saving goodbye to my Lily was not easy . But Dr. Lisa made everything go so smooth with the process. Thank you so much for everything.
Losing our little man was always going to be the hardest and most painful part of having him our lives. But, if there was one thing that could make the experience any easier on both our pup and our family, it was having Dr. Lisa Fieg there to guide the way. She truly and absolutely cares. You can feel it from the she arrives. Saying goodbye to Arlo in the comfort and quiet of our home was so special. While we would do anything to have him back, we're so relieved to know that we did the best for him and feel so blessed to have had Dr. Lisa there with us. Thank you so much.

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.
