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 Megan was amazing. We loved our Bella (sweetest Pitbull ever) so much. And this was extremely difficult for us. She helped us rheougj everything and made it such a peaceful transition for Bella. We will be eternally grateful for her manner, professionalism, and sincere caring support. GID bless her.
I let my pup of nearly 16 years go this morning, and if I could give 500 stars for this service, I would do so happily. Dr. Megan Duvall could not have been more compassionate, more professional, more…perfect. I could go through each stage, every step, and it was so incredibly peaceful on the bed where she slept, in my arms, with not a shred of anxiety or pain. As this will always be the most difficult decision we make for our beloved companion, you want this experience to be as beautiful as it can be, and it was. I cannot recommend Dr. Duvall and Coda enough.
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.
Dr. Duvall helped us say goodbye to our 21 year cat who was failing in health. She made a difficult time less painful by explaining the process and being patient while we said our goodbyes.
Dr. Duvall really helped make the transition of our little Pippi as peaceful as possible. The evening before, I had needed to reach out about an emergency with my dog and she promptly responded & helped ease my fears. The next day she arrived on time which was awesome bc had she been early or late, I might have been spiraling since the anticipation was way worse than my dog’s very gentle & peaceful transition. She let Pippi have her last favorite meal & let me hold her in my arms the whole time. It could not have gone smoother, for as difficult as it was. Thanks Dr. Duvall 💜
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!
