Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

I first taught high school when I graduated from undergraduate school, and quickly learned that being on stage every day in front of 120 teenagers was not my ideal scenario. After some soul searching, I realized being a Veterinarian was what I always wanted to do (my Mom later found 3 x 5 cards with medical records that I kept on all my stuffed animals as a child). With a 3 year old daughter in tow, I went back to Vet school and have never looked back. Of course, love for the animals is the primary focus, but I also love the connections that I have made with the animals' human families over the years. I have enjoyed all aspects of my working career- preventative medicine, surgery, dentistry, as well as euthanasia. But with the veterinary industry as busy as it is right now, the stress of in-clinic euthanasia for the pets as well as their families has become so overwhelming that I now want to focus on making our pets' final times as stress free as possible.

Dr. Carol is caring, understanding, and respectful. It was extremely difficult losing our dog but she was able to make it to our house and create an environment for our Coco the go peacefully.

Dr. Earls was amazing. She had great communication with us. Was very compassionate and professional. This was my first time saying goodbye to a pet. And she was very patient and kind throughout. I can't imagine saying goodbye to a pet any other way. Thanks. Steve and Lisa.

Review by Dr. Carol Earls

Dr. Carol Earls was angel sent to ease us into the next chapter of life. After a year long battle with cancer, it was time. Our 8 year old chocolate Labrador, Doug, was our world along with his litter mate Dublin. Dr Earls was so compassionate, patient, and understanding even helping us understand Dublins needs during the transition. She took any doubt we had away, and was the best decision we could have made for our boy, and ourselves. She even traveled out of regular distance to help us. Thank you codapet and Dr. Earls for being there for us, I truly couldn’t imagine a better way for him

We had to let go of our baby girl, Zoe, on February 5th. It was heartbreaking, but it was the right time. Dr Carol was so empathetic and understanding during our outpouring tears. We decided to have her ashes returned to us. I’ll never forget Dr. Carol putting our beloved Zoe in her front seat with such care and saying she puts the little ones there. 💜
