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 so compassionate, so patient and so gentle with our Sweet Pea. We are so grateful she came to our home and handled this for us. It was totally worth it to go this route. CodaPet was so easy to work with, very compassionate as well. I called, made the appointment and waited for the appointment day which was not long at all. We basically got the date we asked for. I would most definitely recommend CodaPet to those who dearly love their pets. I cannot say enough about the ease and comfort received from both.

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

I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Pruett for her exceptional care and support. From the very beginning, it was clear that Dr. Pruett was not only a highly skilled veterinarian but also deeply compassionate and dedicated to providing the best possible experience for both my cat and I. Understanding my concerns about my cat's anxiety and the importance of a friendly environment, Dr. Pruett went above and beyond to ensure that our experience was as stress-free as possible. Her approach was not just professional but also incredibly warm and empathetic. Thanks to Dr. Pruett my memories are not solely marked by pain and grief they are also filled with the presence of an awesome professional and an incredibly empathetic human being, filled with kindness. In a way, whenever I begin to mourn, I find solace in remembering the extensive care Dr. Pruett provided for both of us. I am truly grateful for the outstanding level of care and attention we received at CodaVet and from Dr. Pruett. Dr. Pruett you are my hero. Thank you for being there, for your kindness, patience, and for making such a positive impact.

Dr. Pruett was great. She was right on time and scheduling the appointment was easy. She was sweet and caring and really could tell it was hard for me. She gave kind words and made the process easier.

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. ❤️‍🩹🐾🌈
