Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
I value not only the time spent with the furry members of pet families but just as much those who provide their love and care. I have recognized over my years in private practice just how important not only the first day we have with our pets is, but also the last. I desire to help make the goodbyes as comfortable and peaceful as possible.

What pet parents are saying
Dr. Clem was so very kind and gentle during what was one of the most difficult times of my life and I greatly appreciate all she did for my beloved Oliver in his last moments.
My family is so grateful to Dr. Sarah Clem for the kindness and compassion she displayed when we made the difficult decision to say goodbye to our sweet Grace. She came to our home and explained the process to us and patiently answered our questions. She asked us about Gracie's story and how she came into our lives. We were given ample time to say our goodbyes. Dr. Clem's gentle care with Grace was a source of comfort for us during this devastating time. It was such a peaceful process for all of us and I would highly recommend Dr. Clem and CodaPet to any family faced with this difficult journey.
Dr. Sarah was wonderful. She was patient, kind, informative and made such a hard moment much more bearable. And that we could all be together with Ricky at home, in his favorite spot with his Lucy girl right next to him... Wow. Thank you xo
We had to put our Great Dane Buzz down due to a tumor in his mouth. Our Vet worked for Codapet and it was such a blessing to have her do this for us. Buzz likes her and she was awesome. Such a peaceful experience.
So gentle, so kind and took the time to answer all of the questions we had. She has a calming peacefulness about her bedside manner. We are so grateful for her compassion at this difficult time in our lives
A most difficult time for us and Dr. Sarah made sure that our Beowulf was at peace and comfortable that he was in his favorite place. Dr. Clem was compassionate and helped us get through this. If I ever had to do this again...this is the only way I would ever do it.
Dr. Sarah was so kind and understanding. She was very gentle with Artie. My other dogs were part of the process to ease Artie's passage and to understand their brother's death. A beautiful experience at a very sad moment.
Absolutely loved her. So sweet, so gentle, and kind. Treated us and our fur baby with the greatest amount love, compassion and professionalism.
Dr. Clem was understanding, kind, and patient. She made a difficult experience less difficult. I am so grateful that she does this important work.
I would definitely recommend Dr . Sarah Clem. It was a traumatic experience for me but Dr Sarah was able to explain the process even for a short period of time. She's compassionate and caring.
Dr. Clem- You are an angel! Thank you SO MUCH for all your help with Tina over the years, and with assisting me & Lorraine with peacefully being able to say goodbye to her in the comfort of our home! Your professional & compassionate couch-side manner was heartfelt and VERY MUCH appreciated! The at-home service that you and your team provide to pet owners in the same situation, can't be conveyed fully how invaluable your kindness is! May God continue to bless you all, well done! -Glenn, Lorraine, & Tina
Dr. Clem made one of the worst days of my life just a little bit more bearable. I didn't have to think or really talk, she handled every step perfectly. I got my Lola back quickly and personally delivered. I hated having to make this decision but I am SOO thankful I chose Mr. Clem.
I love Dr. Clem, she has been our vet for years, so she made it comfortable and is very compassionate. She let me take my time to say goodbye to my best friend Gracie. I am forever grateful for her kindness.
Dr. Clem, her gentle touch, compassionate disposition and empathy were a blessing. Unfortunately, we had to make the incredibly difficult decision to put our sweet little Roycella to sleep after a long debilitating illness. As of late our pup had been starting to spend too many bummer days and we didn’t want to put her through anymore. It was a gift to our Roycella to be able to do this at home. Roy left the world eating short ribs, showered in affection and enjoying her favorite spot in her backyard! Dr. Clem took a sad experience and demonstrated the love and affection we had for our little Roycellita. Our little girl was relaxed, comfortable and content as we said goodbye and told her how much we loved her. Thank you, Dr. Clem, and may God bless you for doing what you do. You were amazing and we cannot say enough about you and the comfort and closure you visit gave us.
Our hearts were broken when our Gracie left us too soon. Gracie was so sick but managed to get up to greet Dr. Sarah Clem when she arrived to help us. Sarah just sat down immediately with Gracie to love and comfort her. Dr Clem knew exactly what to do to help little Gracie in every moment and each step of the gentle way. Her love and passion for animals is amazing and that includes her involvement with Gracie's Human's. Dr Clem is so kind and passionate. When we knew our beloved Jack Russell would not recover from her illness, Dr Clem showed such compassion during our painful decision. She communicated throughout the whole ordeal including our final goodbye. Gracie left us with such a sweet, gently and loving goodbye with the help of Dr. Clem. Sarah, Thank you.
There’s not much else harder than seeing your pet family member fall ill and in no time to begin to greatly suffer-with no hope of recovery. I loved her too much to see the joy sucked out of her and allow her suffer. Dr. Sarah texted on her way and when she arrived. This helped me to prepare in slow steps. She informed me of the procedures and waited patiently until I was ready. She helped me to understand all the steps Lexie would go through and left me with her to cry and rock Lexie in my arms as my music list played softly. Dr. Sarah made a beautiful paw print as a keepsake and gently played her in a basket with a blanket played over her body as though she were sleeping. I got another look at Lexie’s sweet face one last time as they left. Thank you, Dr. Sarah for taking care of not Lexie and me. Thank you for the beautiful and comforting prayer also. You are a treasure.
The hardest decision of our lives was to put our beloved 14 year old fur baby down. He was so special but I know he was in pain and his body was failing him (even though his spirit never did). I’m so grateful that Dr Clem was there to assist him in crossing the rainbow bridge. She answered all of our questions, was very thorough in explaining the process, and ensured that his passage was peaceful. While we miss him every day, I am thankful that the option to be with him in a comfortable place until the very end is possible, and that Dr Sarah Clem was the one to help him transition. Thank you Dr Sarah from the bottom of our hearts for all you did for us and especially for Lobo.
Patience and love. That is how I describe Dr Clem. She asked if it was our first time; and waited for us to get our composure and answer. It was still a sad experience. But we felt at ease and in loving hands with her being there with us and listening to our stories about our loving Dexter and his crazy antics when he was young. From the bottom of our hearts thank you for being there with us!
Dr Sarah was very professional and had a big heart! She gave us all the time we wanted to spend with our family member Paris. Dr Sarah was compassionate and very caring in our difficult time. I would really recommend her to anyone that has to make this hard decision. Bless her. We miss our Paris every single day!🙏😭
Dr. Sarah Clem , made a painful event so much more easier , that I had to leave a second review. Dr. Clem’s warm personality, along with her compassion and professionalism exceeded our expectations. We couldn’t be any more grateful for how something that’s so difficult, left us feeling so peaceful , in her care . Not to mention the wonderful paw print photo frame she gifted with her service . Also would like to mention the quality of the cedar urn locking box and paw print we ordered with cremation was excellent. And to our surprise the wonderful card and cremation stones included were a heartfelt surprise . Thank You again , Dr.Clem !!!
As difficult as it is to make the decision that it was time to say goodbye to a beloved pet family member, Dr. Clem was a very professional and compassionate person, not clinical, and she helped make the process easier to deal with.
Dr. Clem was very thoughtful and caring. I greatly appreciated her helping me through a sad and difficult time when I had to put my puppy to sleep. I would highly recommend Dr. Clem to anyone who is facing the very difficult decision of having to put their pet down.
Dr. Sarah was compassionate and caring. She was gentle with our cat Louie and his passing was easy - for him and for our family. We’re so grateful to her.
It was tough making this decision and putting my cat to rest after her lymphoma diagnosis, I miss her greatly. I was tired of vet visits, Autumn was as well, she wasn't going to get better. I'm happy this service exists and that Autumn's last day wasn't spent waiting in a cage at the vet to be put to sleep. She would have been stressed. We had her resting in the bed all day, her favorite spot, and she received tons of love from the family leading up to the appointment. Dr. Sarah Clem was incredible. She was in contact with us in the day leading up to the appointment, answered our questions and was friendly and compassionate. She was very kind and I'm thankful for her. This was very hard for my family and I and she was just excellent. I cannot really express it properly how thankful I am. Thank you Dr. Sarah!
Dr. Sara was very kind, thoughtful, & patient during our difficult time. Dr. Sara gave us all the time we needed with Maxine. My beloved dog passed peacefully.
Dr. Sarah was wonderful We appreciate the time she spent with us during the difficult situation of loosing our pet. She made sure our pet was relaxed and that we were ready for the final process. Thankful for her compassion.
I can't thank Dr. Sarah Clem enough for helping us with our beautiful Miss Bo...giving us the blessing of having her pass peacefully at home with our family around her. Miss Bo was a 14 year old pit bull mix and had been having trouble walking around for the last 6 months as her back legs were giving out to the point where she was dragging herself around. We were pleased to find Codapet when we asked our veterinary office, All Creatures if they provided in home euthanasia services and they provided us with Codapet's contact info. We were also pleased to see that Dr. Sarah Clem was available as she is also a Vet at All Creatures. Codapet's website was so helpful and their online scheduling made the whole experience very easy to setup and schedule payment and cremation services. Dr. Sarah gave us as much time with Miss Bo as we needed the morning she passed...and although it was hard letting her go, the way she passed in her bed with us all around her was the way it should be. She had a beautiful life and she passed peacefully which allowed us to manage getting back to our daily lives without her more easily. I can't recommend Codapet and Dr. Sarah Clem enough. We will be using them for all our future pets.
My experience with Code A Pet started at a vet appointment with a very compassionate vet who recommended Code A Pet should I need them over a weekend. My call for an appointment was full of understanding about losing a pet. Dr. Sarah Clem came to my house to put down my 15 year rescue dog. My dog use to get overwhelmed when going to a vet, by having Dr. Clem come to my house she was able to stay calm. Dr. Clem was very empathetic, explaining everything she did. I would highly recommend this service and have to my friends.
The doctor was very kind and patient. I would not have wanted to do this any other way. It was very peaceful for my old dog and dear friend.
Dr. Clem helped us say goodbye to our 18-1/2 year old kitty, Mishka. Dr. Clem was so kind and compassionate and we are blessed to have her help in saying goodbye.
Dr. Clem made one of the worst days of my life just a little bit more bearable. I didn't have to think or really talk, she handled every step perfectly. I got my Lola back quickly and personally delivered. I hated having to make this decision but I am SOO thankful I chose Mr. Clem.
I’ll never forgot Dr. Clem’s kindness and compassion. As difficult as saying goodbye was, we had such a peaceful experience and for that I will be forever grateful.
Dr. Clem was the vet for both of my dogs. She is very caring and patient. I appreciate her sensitivity during such a painful time and highly recommend her.
We want to thank Dr. Sarah for a very peaceful passing for our very much loved dog Carlos. The personal experience Dr. Sarah gave us as a family is so important at such a personal time. Pets are family and should have the dignity of passing in a comfortable environment. Thank you again Dr. Sarah.
Sarah was wonderful. She was able to talk about our decision and put my mind at ease that it was time for us to let Milly go. Milly was 13 yrs old & had just found out had cancer. Sarah was able to verify that due to being in her mouth that it was not operable. She was able to verify what our vet had told us. This put our mind & heart at 100% at ease that we could not let Milly suffer and say good bye to her before she suffered more. If I had to do it all over again I would with the help of Sarah. Thank you Sarah
Dr Clem made a very difficult event so much easier and bearable. She was kind and compassionate but also very professional and supportive. I truly appreciate her kindness and compassion.
I want to thank Dr. Clem for her kindness and her compassion towards our Bella and us during that difficult time. She made it as easy as she could for my little sweetheart. I recommend this service to anyone facing the difficult decision to put their pet down. Again, thank you Dr. Clem.
Dr. Clem was wonderful. Her kindness and compassion made our dog’s end of life comfortable and stress free. We were beyond grateful that Charlie passed at home with dignity.
Dr. Sarah Clem was wonderful. She put us at ease with saying our final good bye to our little Lulu in the comfort of our home. Thank you Dr. Sarah Clem!
I was in that horrible position of determining if it was time to euthanize one of my heart dogs that was 17 years old. I made an online appointment choosing Dr. Clem based on her profile. I was so blessed by choosing her. She was calm, quiet and communicated easily. There were 5 other dogs, my mother and my spouse present and she handled this with grace and compassion. I can not explain in words how phenomenal Dr. Clem was and when I was ready she sedated my baby Jr Onion and as I held him in my arms and whispered in his ear how much I loved him, she gave the euthanasia solution. It was a peaceful passing and I will never forget her compassion. Thank you Dr Clem.
Dr. Clem was incredibly thoughtful throughout the entire process. Everything she did was intentional and based on how my family was responding in the moment.
Dr. Clem was so kind, patient and gentle with our sweet senior cocker spaniel Mikey. An old pup that deserved a peaceful and dignified passing. Dr. Clem did that and more. I have another senior cocker and would not hesitate to call on her to help again when that time comes.
This was a blessing for me. Dr. Clem is an angel for our fur babies. She is so caring and helpful. She walks you through what is happening. She gives you all the time you need. Thank you Dr. Clem for being there for me.
It was the hardest day of my life but Dr Sarah made it less stressful. I wanted my baby girl to leave this world in her favorite room on her favorite bed, not in the stressful vet offices. Such a great service to offer for pet parents.
Dr Sarah Clem was very nice. She took her time and was very compassionate. Our daughters had grown up with our dog for their entire life and we knew it would be hard on them. She was very understanding and let us take our time saying our good byes.
We needed to put down our beautiful kitty Toby, who was failing quickly and in a lot of pain. Coda-and Dr. Sarah Clem were able to come to our house on a Sunday and euthanize her in a peaceful, loving environment. The end of a beloved pet’s life is always heart-wrenching, but providing a peaceful passing felt like our last gift to her. We will use their services again, if needed, for our other pets and would highly recommend.
Dr. Clem was the most amazing human. She is kind, compassionate, composed, and pure soul. She radiates love and kindness. We could not have asked for a better vet for our boys in home euthanasia and I would recommend her again and again. She’s amazing! We love you Dr. Clem
CodaPet was exceptional. Same day appointment was available. Communication leading up to Dr Clem’s visit was reassuring. Our 13 year old Great Dane was able to be stay in the comfort of his own home and his own bed on his last day with our family. It was bittersweet, but beautiful. Truly a blessing. Thank you CodaPet 🐾♥️🪽
Dr. Sarah really couldn’t have been any better. She was kind , patient w me, and most importantly she cared for Sampson as he passed this life. She even let me have a moment at the end. As hard as it was to do this , I suggest everyone do it this way. Thank you Dr. Sarah
Dr Sarah Clem was an angel of compassion and mercy. She communicated so well with me as we prepared for this dreaded event. I was and still am broken hearted and it was the hardest decision I’ve ever made. Dr. Sarah gave us gentle advice but also lots of room to take the time I needed to love on my girl, cuddle her, and be with her beloved body after she passed. Nothing was rushed. And she fully respected all our wishes.
Dr. Sarah Clem was so respectful, professional, and compassionate in her care of my pet and in her interactions with us. I highly recommend her.
We can’t say enough about Dr. Sarah. She was so thoughtful and kind at a very difficult time. Thank you again for your patience and caring 💗🐶
Dr Sarah was compassionate toward my husband and myself as we bid our Jaxon goodbye. She kept checking in and listened to how we were coping. Her treatment of Jax was very gentle She was patient and generous as he required extra medication to relax him which I appreciated.
Dr. Clem was very professional and at the time very empathetic: She took the time to explain my questions. And I thought it was very kind and caring that she asked me questions about how Ginny and I became best friends. I appreciate Dr. Clem‘s calming nature. And I also appreciate the fact that she didn’t rush things. In conclusion, I would rate Dr. Clem with an A+++
Dr Sara Clem was just incredible! I would recommend here to everyone. She was compassionate throughout the entire process. She didn’t rush us and was very thoughtful. We even got a card from her for our loss.
Dr. Sara was wonderful. She was very kind and thoughtful, explaining the process with my daughter and I thoroughly. She was not rushed and allowed us to spend time with Buster prior to the procedure. Using CodaPet was the best decision. We were able to sit with Buster on the couch where he spent many hours cuddling with me ever since he became elderly and less mobile. It eased our minds that he was at home with us and comfortable when he passed. Thank you Dr. Sarah!
Dr Clem was incredibly kind and caring on one of the worst days of my life. She came to help my 13 year old dog cross over the rainbow bridge and gave me so much time and space to grieve during the process. She handled my girl with care and was so gentle. I'm eternally grateful to her.
Dr. Sarah Clem gave us the perfect balance of kindness, professionalism, clinical skill, and compassion. I was especially grateful for Dr. Clem’s flexibility in scheduling - coming earlier to accommodate our cat’s medical issue and the urgency we felt in helping him transition as soon as possible.
Dr. Clem was very kind, professional, and patient .. she helped lead us though the pain of letting RosAna Isabela go, so that we had a chance to tell her good bye and how much we had always loved her .. I highly recommend Dr. Clem for her services and kindnesses .. she even delivered Bella's ashes back to us in a beautiful wooden urn ..
