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

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!

I recently used CodaPet to put my sweet 17 year old dog to sleep. Dr. Alex Pruett was amazing during the whole process. She is a very kind and compassionate vet and I highly recommend their services.

Dr. Pruett was excellent. It was our first at home euthanasia and she really made us feel better about making this decision. She was prompt, very understanding, and explained the process to us. It was incredibly hard losing our dog but ultimately this was the perfect way for us to do it. Thank you so much.

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.

I am so thankful for having the option to lay our boy to rest at his home. Today was a very sad day. But we are thankful for Dr. Alex’s services and her empathy. If you are looking for safe, calm, and peaceful way to say goodbye in the comfort of your own home or land. This is the way. ❤️‍🩹🐾🌈
