Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

I have always had a strong love for animals, combined with a fascination for science and problem solving I knew becoming a Veterinarian was my calling. After serving countless pets over the years, my professional interest has evolved into a desire to provide a source of help in the times most pets and their owners need it the most. I strive to provide the most compassionate, peaceful, and stress-free experience possible. Having seen way too many pets suffer or experience stress in their last moments, my goal is to help provide relief while ensuring your pet experiences the utmost love and comfort as they pass in the comfort of their own home.

What pet parents are saying

On June 30,2025, we had to have Dr. Christina come to our home for our final day with our beloved "Tom". He was truly our family for 11 years. Dr. Christina was amazing and understanding. We are so grateful for her and how lovely she treated our boy. We have been referring everyone we know to Codapet and Dr Cristina. We miss Tom so much, but thankful for her services...... Allen and Lynn

Dr. Vernon has such an incredible gift and my family and I are lucky that she has been with us for two very difficult times (euthanizing our dogs). She feels like a member of our family and it is evident that she takes her duty seriously and with love and care. I have recommended her to everyone we know. She’s an animal and people lover! We are forever grateful for Dr. Vernon.

We had to put one of our babies down yesterday. He was my sons dog since he was 8. Dr. Christina Vernon was absolutely amazing. She answered all of our questions and helped us through the difficult time. She made me feel better knowing that Zeus was at home surrounded by his family. Thank you Dr. Christina for making the process a little bit easier on us.

Coadpet did an excellent job. From start to finish, they offered compassionate care and support during an extremely difficult time. They were consistently responsive, thoughtful, and genuinely caring. I truly appreciated how Dr. Christina guided me through every step of the process with tenderness and compassion. I’m so glad I made the decision to do this at home with her by my side. Thank you Dr. Christina!!

Dr. Vernon assisted us in making the hardest decision we’ve had to make - knowing the time to assist our fuzzy boy to peacefully pass away before he had additional pain and suffering. She was kind and compassionate, and was wonderful to our dog. She helped us make the best decision we could make, and let us take as much time as we needed with our boy. We were able to say our goodbyes, and carry him to her vehicle. Within a week, she personally brought his cremains back to us, with a beautiful footprint that we will always cherish.

This was my first time using an in home euthanasia vet, and I will say I will definitely use their services again for our other babies when it is their time. It was the best experience I could ever ask for. Dr Christina was just amazing, she was so kind and very sweet with the whole experience. She cried for our Sadie with us, treated us and Sadie so well, and made us all feel so comfortable. I could not of asked for a better experience. I am very thankful for Dr Christina. She has a tough job, but she handles it with such grace, love, and kindness. Thank you so much for giving us and Sadie the love and comfort we needed.
