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
Thank you for all the help with our boy gru. Dr Pruett is very caring. She explained to us the process and what to expect. Our boy passed away peacefully at the comfort our home and around the people that loved him very much. It is not easy to have our baby leave but Dr Pruett helped us from the beginning until the end. We are very grateful for everything to make it easier for us. Thank you!
My favorite words Dr Pruitt said, is, “I’ll let myself out.” She hugged me and didn’t linger. She let me experience my own grief in the comfort of my home. The week before I went with my sister to euthanize her cat at her vet clinic. They didn’t give her any time after and just waited in the room to take the body of her precious pet away. I felt so off-put by this. I didn’t mention it to my sister. But, I’m going to save money just to use your services
Sadest day for me in a long time. Libby was a best friend for 12 years. I miss her everyday. CodaPets response team and Dr Pruet were the best in sending Libby to a better place, no more suffering, just peace and comfort. Thank you.
We were very pleased how CodaPet was very informational with the whole process. Dr. Pruett was gentle with our beloved Copper and with our family. There are no words that can explain the great experience we had in our time need. Thank you Codapet. We definitely will recommend Codapet to our friends and family for their fur babies.
We are so thankful for Dr. Pruett and CODA Pet. Dr. Pruett made Brisco's journey over the Rainbow Bridge a calm and peaceful experience. He was never afraid or stressed and was surrounded by the ones that loved him. She is a very kind and caring person, and she showed a lot of compassion for us and for Brisco.
As you all know our pets don’t live long enough and frequently we have to say goodbye to each one of them too soon. Euthanasia in veterinarians office or Vetranarian hospital is cold. Coda Pet and Dr. Pruett gave our family peace of mind when dealing with the loss of our beloved Katy Belle. I highly recommend Coda Pet.
