Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
My lifelong passion for and commitment to family, animals, and humane treatment of all beings led to my career in veterinary medicine, which I am incredibly grateful for. Veterinary medicine is my calling. Upon proudly and humbly obtaining a veterinary medical degree, I served primarily in agricultural animal practice, specifically moving into advanced progressive equine podiatry practice. In addition but separate to this specialized practice, over the years, countless clients have sought my assistance with end-of-life care for both companion and agricultural animals, which allowed me to realize one of the greatest gifts veterinarians can give is to help animals experience as stress-free, compassionate and pain-free death as possible, and help people be at ease with their decision. In doing so, I have developed a profound appreciation for the honor of serving clients and patients in this capacity and I am now also offering this end-of-life focused care.

What pet parents are saying
Dr Alicia nolfi is an angel. She is a selfless, humble, knowledgeable, amazing doctor. All of her knowledge and experience made this transition effortlessly to understand what was going on at all times and made it an absolutely amazing experience overall. Dr Nolfi. Is amazing. I would recommend any of her services to anybody in need.
Alicia was very patient and kind. She sat with us and let us tell stories about our sweet Caesar and really should empathy towards our situation. She even followed up with us over the weekend to see how we were. This is the hardest thing I ever had to do and she made it a little better. I would recommend this service.
Dr. Alicia was like an angel who helped our family and our fur baby transition from this world. I have never met a vet who cared as much as Dr. Alicia, her communication was on point, she checked in with us before arriving, checked in afterwards to see how our broken hearts were holding up and then sent us a heartfelt note a few weeks later. She was professional, knowledgeable, thoughtful, kind, caring, compassionate, tender and helped us through a challenging time in a way I've never experienced from a vet. To lose a pet who's been part of your family is heart wrenching, but to have someone as kind and caring as Dr. Alicia makes it that much easier. I would highly recommend her, she's a gift to our community.
alicia made the process very clear and peaceful. she was extremely supportive and gentle with our emotions. and of course, scott, had the time to share stories of wally! we received a beautiful card from alicia which is next to his ashes and will stay with him forever. thank you for all the love and understanding during this transitional time for our entire family! respectfully, anita & scott lupow on behalf of our special wally💕
When our cat came into our lives, as an adult, he was a promise to keep. When he left us, Kit-Kit had become a beloved member of our small family, and a person, at least, to us. He was already struggling with old age, vision and renal failure when his stroke happened at 16-17 yrs old. On short notice, on a Saturday, we able to find a recommendation for CodaPet, who connected us to Dr. Nolfi. When she arrived, on Monday morning, and met Kit-Kit we knew immediately we had made the best decision available to us. Our friend passed peacefully, painlessly, in his favorite spot, with my wife and I on either side of him. At all times Dr. Nolfi expressed care for our friend and acknowledged the personhood we saw in our pet. We felt her concern for us going through this process as well. Both my wife and I are deeply thankful to Dr. Alicia Nolfi, for her compassion, professionalism and willingness to come to our out of the way rural neighborhood. I would refer her service to anyone who has a pet in need, especially when that furry friend can't travel. We are thankful to the local vets who recommended that we reach out to CodaPet.
She was a gift to us through a very sudden decline in health for our dog. She was tender and handled our sadness with great respect. She talked us through the process, so there was nothing that happened that we didn't understand. She had just helped us euthanize our horse a week and half earlier. It was a difficult few weeks and she was perfect during this very painful time in our lives. I highly recommend her.
