Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
I've wanted to become a vet for as long as I can remember. I've always felt very strongly that euthanasia is one of the most important things that we do for our patients and their families. Veterinarians have the unique privilege of helping families decide when and how their pet's story will end. We can end a life when there is suffering. We are tasked not only with keeping our patients alive and healthy, but knowing when, for whatever reason, continuing may not be in the pets or family's best interests. In home euthanasia provides the opportunity to have as stress-free an experience as possible. No need to disturb a painful patient to transport them to the veterinary clinic. In general, we can complete the procedure wherever you and/or your pet are the most comfortable. I’ll talk with you prior to your appointment, and we will discuss any concerns that you might have. What family members want to be present? Do you expect your pet to be anxious or reactive? Together we will develop a personalized plan to make the appointment go as smoothly as possible for everyone.

What pet parents are saying
When we knew it was time to send our dog Charlie over the Rainbow Bridge, my wife and I didn't want his last moments to be shaking and terrified in a vet office. Dr. Bailey came to our home, spoke with us about the process, and caringly got us through the process of putting him to sleep. Charlie went over the bridge in peace without any pain or anxiety. She genuinely cares about the animals comfort and the pet owners grief and anxiety of making such a difficult decision. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs to put their pet out of it's suffering and prefers to do it at home, she is wonderful.
Dr. Bailey was amazing and so supportive of our entire family as we dealt with putting Elsa to rest. We couldn’t have been more pleased with the respect she showed our dog. Elsa was happy as Dr. Bailey explained the process and eased her into receiving the medications. We are very thankful for Dr. Bailey’s support.
Many thanks to Dr. Bailey during our families' loss of our 15 year pet dog, Cody. She discussed the timing and purpose of the euthanasia, and gave us excellent advice and encouragement through this difficult time.
Dr. Bailey was very kind and understanding. She contacted us in advance to learn more about our elderly dog in order to minimize any stress for him.
I would highly recommend CodaPet and Dr. Bailey! Being able to make an appointment online within such a short notice was a blessing for our 15yr old girl, Jetta. Dr. Bailey was absolutely amazing!! She texted me a few hours before she came to the house and asked questions and answered all my questions. Doing that made me feel better about the process. When she came to the house, she went right over to Jetta and introduced herself, gave her a treat and talked with her sweetly. She explained everything and was a great comfort to us during the final moments of our beautiful girl. Thank you!! Andrew and Shar
Very considerate, walked us through each step, never push us. She kept a very low profile. The paw print she did was wonderful. Totally recommend her service.
