Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
Veterinary medicine is as much about family as it is about animals. Our pets are our mascots, our comedians, our best friends and sometimes our lifelines. It has been a privilege, as a vet, to be a part of so many lives, from newly adopted puppy, kitten, or small mammal, through the mischievous youthful years, middle age, and then the senior years. As pet parents (because I am one too), we sign up for this relationship and all the joy, comedy and surprises. In the senior years, we provide more support, but also get to enjoy a shared history and comfort that is irreplaceable. Giving our pets the dignity and comfort of a low-stress death is a gift, and you could say, a responsibility. Undoubtedly this is also the hardest part of that relationship. Having experienced profound loss in my own lifetime, I’ve learned how to look scary things in the eye and hold steady. I can support you, your family and your animal through this process and it is my honor to do so.

What pet parents are saying
We were so grateful for Dr. Megan Blasier Duvall helping our cat pass in a humane manner. Our cat was suddenly ill. When she came over, she not only reassured us that there were likely limited (quality of life) treatment options but she also made the process so calming for our sweet cat. We are so relieved that our sweet pet is no longer suffering and so grateful that the doctor made the transition easy for us. These vets are angels 😇
This very difficult decision and time was made much easier by the home visit by vet Megan Duvall. I was able to have my dog in her home where she is comfortable and at peace. Dr. Duvall was so patient and sweet with Maggie and I am thankful for that.
Dr. Duvall did a fantastic job easing our dog out of this world, and in tending to our human needs and concerns as well. She really went the extra mile and was full of compassion for all of us. I can't imagine how the inherently difficult situation could have been made any easier.
Sometimes saying goodbye to a pet feels like saying goodbye to a loved one. Dr. Megan Duvall with CodaPet ensured an empathetic and stress-free experience for my senior cat, fiance, and I. She walked through the process, step by step, prior to starting the session. Her energy was very kind, understanding, and comforting. She was with all of us through every step of the process, checking on us repeatedly, and moved at our pace. She even brought treats for our pet which he very much enjoyed prior to departure. The experience was stress-free for him and we were given time to grieve. Thank you so much Dr. Megan Duvall for creating a safe space for all of us. 10/10 recommend!
Dr. Duvall was a kind support in a tough situation. We were very thankful to her for the professionalism, her care, her availability, and the graciousness she offered us through this experience. Highly recommend!
Dr. Megan Duvall was the best we could have asked for. This was such a hard decision and experience- one I have never been through. From her text the day before to her compassion and gentleness the day of and the follow up note she send us helped make this decision not as difficult. I would recommend her to all my friends and family. Thank you Megan, we truly appreciate everything you did to help us with Oliver.
