Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
I became a vet because of my love for people; by caring and attending for pets, I am directly influencing that person's well-being. I started performing in-home euthanasia during the Pandemic as a way to extend veterinary reach to individuals and their pets that may not have had another option. Providing in- home-euthanasia for families who wish to keep their furry household member calm and at ease during their final moments is another way that I can support families during a difficult and intimate time.

What pet parents are saying
Dr. Abdul was so kind and compassionate. She explained everything in detail and gave us time to say our goodbye. She helped us feel calm and cared for. She was amazing and we are so thankful for her knowledge and loving care.
She was absolutely wonderful, she made a difficult time as easy as possible. I will definitely use Codapet for my other animals, when that time comes.
Dr Hamid was an angel sent to Holly and I when we really needed one. She assisted Holly on her way back to her spiritual home with such grace, compassion, and love. Thank you so much Dr Hamid
Dr Abdul was incredible. Her compassion and kindness will never be forgotten. We are very thankful to have had the option of at home euthanasia for our precious Foxy.
Dr. Abdul is a very kind, caring, and understanding veterinarian. She treated our family with respect and gave us comfort that our pet’s last few moments would be easy for him. Dr. Abdul was able to calmly explain the procedure and review and confirm our after-procedure requests. She gave our pet the quiet, at-home passing he deserved. We also appreciate Dr. Abdul’s choice of Emerson’s Pet Crematorium as they were also very kind and thoughtful.
Very patient, kind and understanding. She explains the process well. She came to my home earlier than the appointment because she cares immensely. She wanted to make sure our boys last moments were peaceful.
