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
Dr. Duvall brought her care and experience to help me on a very difficult day. As a retired vet tech, I have been involved in many euthanasias. For me and my boy, Dr. Duvall's combination of technique and appropriate amount of caring conversation made this the smoothest transition I have ever been involved in. I highly recommend her when it's time to consider at-home end of life services.
It’s the hardest decision I’ll ever have to make, and it has to be right, and it has to be perfect. Dr. Duvall was the perfect choice, and my pup’s transition could not have been any better. She was patient, thorough, and most of all, completely compassionate. I could not have thanked her enough.
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.
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 😇
We were very satisfied with the services provided by Megan Duvall for our beloved cat Bella. Her knowledge and experience as veterinarian treating cats, explanation of the process and patience really helped us during this difficult time of saying goodbye. We can't say enough positive things about Megan.Highly recommend!!
Dr. Megan Duvall was excellent & we highly recommend her. CodaPet website was easy to navigate and gave us the prices up front. I liked being able to see a picture & bio of the available vets before booking the appt. Thank you for your care & concern.
