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

Our cat, Alexandra, could not recover from her liver and gallbladder problems. Loading her in the car, which she hates, driving to the vet seemed like torture. Mercifully, we found CodaPet and Dr. Deborah Perzak. Even before we met, I was impressed and relieved at the confirmation text and email and the options to ask questions. Dr. Perzak arrived at 3:00 exactly on a Sunday and entered our home respectfully. She took a brief history of Alex with a quick hands on check using soothing words. Dr. Perzak explained the steps of the process even though we had previously been through this heart-breaking procedure in years' past. I sat with Alex on the bed where we had snuggled the previous night. With her head on my leg, I was able to assure Alex that soon she would be pain free. We sat together until I was ready to let her go. Dr. Perzak carefully bundled Alex carry her out and made all the necessary cremation details. If "it is time" let Dr. Perzak help you and your beloved pet.

Last night Dr Perzak cane to my house and was outstanding to work with! She spent a few minutes sitting and speaking with me and petting my wonderful son before the procedure. Coda Pet and Dr P made this completely devastating time as simple and reassuring as possible.

Dr. Perzak was very compassionate and supportive during our family's difficult time of letting go of our sweet Lilly! She was kind & patient. My son is military so he was not able to be home to say his goodbyes to his childhood dog. He was able to be a part via video call & she took the time to talk with him as well to include him in the moments to say goodbye. Her genuine compassion of our loss helped us understand why it was best to let our Lilly go who was very sick. Our family appreciates everything she did for us! Thank you so much Dr. Perzak!♥️

Doctor Perzak was so compassionate and kind. This was a very hard decision for me to make, and she made it as easy as humanly possible for both my BJ and me

Dr. Perzak was absolutely a God send. She knew exactly what to say and do to help guide us through this difficult time in our lives. Losing a pet is never easy, but Dr. Perzak came with a quiet peace that reassured us and our 14 year old fur baby.
