Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

Growing up I was surrounded by animals and the industries involved in helping animals lead good lives and remain healthy. When I am with animals, I am happy. I have always had a calling to care for things. It is what drives me. It is what makes me feel like I am doing something good in the world.

What pet parents are saying

Dr. Klepper was very compassionate and professional. She did not rush the process and let us have as much time with Ariel as we needed/wanted. I am grateful that she provides this service and appreciate that she does it well.

Dr. Keeper was gentle with my sweet boy. She was very sensitive to mine and my husband’s needs. Even if she wasn’t, made me feel that she was. Steps were explained. I was very grateful that CodaPet is available in our area. Highly recommend.

Dr. Klepper was sensitive and juggled her schedule so our dear pet didn't need to suffer any longer than neccesary. She treated us with kindness and empathy. She explained the proceedure and gave us time at each step to have those final moments.

Dr. Klepper was everything we could have hoped for during this difficult experience. My wife and I are so grateful. It was such a gift to say goodbye to our baby Millie gently and peacefully in our home.

Dr. Klepper was professional and understanding. She was able to make a difficult situation bearable. She gave us the time to say goodbye to our 20 year old cat.
