Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
My enduring passion for veterinary medicine traces its roots back to my earliest memories of being surrounded by animals. From a young age, it was clear to me that I wanted to dedicate my life to caring for these incredible beings. My career aspirations have taken various forms over the years, from envisioning myself as an animal trainer for movies or captivating audiences at Sea World to picturing a future as a ranch owner tending to a diverse array of animals. However, beneath these varied dreams, the unchanging core has always been the desire to become a veterinarian. What propels my aspiration in the field of veterinary medicine even further is my desire to practice In-Home Euthanasia (IHE). This passion has been amplified by my firsthand experiences of the profound positive effects animals can have on human well-being, some experiences I've gained primarily through my involvement with Aggieland Pets with a Purpose (APWAP). These organizations have shown me the immense power of the human-animal bond, and they've underscored my dedication to preserving and enhancing this bond. I offer in-home euthanasia services as a compassionate way to honor the strong connections people share with their pets during one of life's most challenging transitions. This is a meaningful path that allows me to not only ensure the health of animals but also to support and educate owners about the sensitive and emotional aspects of saying goodbye to their beloved companions.

What pet parents are saying
Getting to spend my baby’s last moments with her at home, on the bed, all cozy, is something I’ll treasure forever. Dr. Pruett was so kind and thoughtful, we are lucky to have this service in town.
We are incredibly grateful that Dr. Pruett was able to help our cat, Marty, pass in the comfort of his favorite place. Having the option to euthanize at home reduced so much undue stress during Marty’s last moments and it meant the world to us. We could not have asked for a more peaceful passing.
Dr. Pruett was very personable and kind. She treated my dog, during his last minutes of life, with compassion and respect. She was informative about what was to be expected regarding euthanasia. I didn’t think my dog was going to survive the afternoon appointment made, thankfully she was able to schedule me first thing in the morning. Best wishes to her!
Thanks Dr. Pruett. Our family really appreciated the peaceful way we were able to say goodbye to our beloved Katy Belle. You help make the best of a terribly sad event.
Dr. Pruett is wonderful, she is so kind and compassionate. She took such intentional care our very loved companion Buddy during his passing and the time after. We couldn’t have asked for a more peaceful passing for him here at home, comfortable and surrounded by love. We greatly appreciate Dr. Pruett and CodaPet. We are thankful that such incredible, kind, compassionate vets like her exist. -Shayne and Travis
The entire process was amazing. Dr Pruitt was responsive and helpful when we needed her, and very compassionate. And when Luke’s ashes were returned, it was such a nice presentation. They even included his paw print with his name on it.
