Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

As a young girl, I knew two things for certain: I wanted to pursue a career in the medical field, and I wanted to help those who couldn’t help themselves. This guiding principle led me to veterinary medicine. Early in my career as a general practitioner in San Diego, I found myself drawn to the most vulnerable patients—those nearing the end of their lives. I began connecting deeply with families, offering a safe space to openly and honestly discuss quality of life, quality of death, grief, loss and love. When I realized that the traditional clinical setting was limiting my ability to fully support my clients and patients, I transitioned in 2020 to focus exclusively on end-of-life care. Helping families give their beloved pets the gift of a passing that is peaceful, loving and dignified has become my life’s work.

Dr Courtney Mills was excellent. She is very loving, explained what was going to happen clearly, allowed both of our dogs to become comfortable with her before she did anything. She said it best, her job was to be as gentle as possible. She was. CodaPet made the whole process easier.

On one of the hardest days of our lives, Dr. Courtney was so patient and caring with us and our sweet pup. She took the time to sit with us and listen to us talk about Longo, she made sure he was calm and comfortable, and when it was time, she made his passing a little less painful. She is exactly the type of person you need on a day like this.

Dr. Courtney was absolutely perfect and made the passing of Mercedes as peaceful and loving as it possibly could've been. Thank you so much for doing what you do. Having her come to my home was the best thing I could do for Mercedes. ❤️

I cannot overstate how incredibly compassionate, professional, and caring Dr. Mills was with our family and our cat, Murray, on his most difficult day. She worked us into her already full schedule due to our emergency needs. Dr. Mills was able to adjust her standard routine to meet our needs and make everything as easy as possible for our Murray. She was so respectful of Murray and our family and she explained everything that was happening before she moved to the next step. I can’t give her enough praise, and I am so thankful that she provides such a critical & compassionate service.

It has been a few months since Dr. Mills helped our sweet Oté cross the Rainbow Bridge, but I want to help anyone who may need her services to know that she is the most gentle soul I have encountered. Oté knew it too. She took her time and made sure he was comfortable, but she also took time to comfort us as we navigated this difficult time with him. If you need this service, Dr. Mills is an amazingly kind soul and will make the process as comfortable as possible.
