Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

I wanted to become a veterinarian so that I could make a difference. When I was in college, I had a deep interest in science and research, and I loved to challenge myself. I was fortunate as a child to have parents that understood my love for animals and would allow me to "bring home the strays", so to speak. I worked for several years in the restaurant industry before deciding to use my gifts with people and animals, as well as my science background, to pursue my dream of becoming a veterinarian. I believe in the golden rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. To me, this means treating the people I meet and the pets I take care of with respect, dignity, and compassion. I liken being a veterinarian to a pediatrician: Since both pets and small children cannot always communicate to me what is wrong, or where it hurts, it is up to me to listen to the pet parent and use what they say to help diagnose and treat their pet.

What pet parents are saying

I cannot give enough stars. I have had to let many pets go through the years. This is the first time I have tried in home euthanasia and will never go back to the old way. Dr. Perzak was extremely compassionate and caring, explained everything and let us make decisions about timing. This a a beautiful tribute to your pet that removes stress and fear for them.

Dr. Perzak did amazing. We were very impressed with her warm personality. The gentle reminders of the appointment, the kindness she radiated and just the overall professional yet personalized feeling of the whole experience was just what we needed. We are so grateful for Dr. Perzak and all she did to make such a hard experience of saying goodbye so much easier and tender.

Debra was a God sent angel ! She took her time with us and explained everything that she was doing! Harley was very happy with her and I think he was very grateful to her! We ended up knowing each other and that made for a pleasant experience! We couldn’t have wrote the ending any better!

Dr Perzak was kind compassionate and extremely patient with me at home as I said goodbye to my beloved dog Pawleys as she crossed over to the rainbow bridge

I would 100 % recommend Dr. Perzak and CodaPet. She was professional, kind and understanding of the fears and emotions of a pet parent. I texted several times between booking and final service and she was always available with warmth and knowledge. Letting an aging pet go is heavy on the heart but the process was as calm and peaceful as it could be. My 14 yr old lab crossed the rainbow bridge comfortably at home surrounded by his family to include two canine buddies. There was no difficult travel to the vet or associated anxiety. A heartfelt Thank You to Dr. Perzak,💜
