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

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

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

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 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!

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!
