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
We are grateful that CodaPet made the difficult process of saying goodbye to our father's dog peaceful. Dr. Perzak was very compassionate; she stayed in touch with us prior to the appointment, answered all our questions and addressed our concerns, and was patient and caring during the process. Bear hated the vet's office, so it was wonderful to avoid that trauma and allow him to stay in his familiar home surrounded by love from his pack and family.
The scheduling was easy and everyone I spoke with was so kind and professional. Dr. Perzak from beginning to end was extremely supportive and compassionate to our needs. I would recommend CodaPet to anyone who looks to care for their fur babies at home. They are the absolute best at what they do.
Dr Perzak was amazing through one of the most difficult moments of my life. I would recommend her to anyone going through pet loss. Thank you Dr Perzak for your care and compassion.
My wife and I recently had to make the heartbreaking decision to have our dog Batman, euthanized, and Dr. Deborah Perzak was phenomenal throughout the entire process. She was sincere, compassionate, and incredibly kind. Her ability to communicate clearly and empathetically helped us feel supported and informed every step of the way. She made an unbearable situation as peaceful and dignified as possible, and we are deeply grateful for her professionalism and care. Thank you a million times, Dr. Deborah Perzak, for your kindness during such a difficult time.
Dr. Perzak was very kind and caring during a very difficult time for us and our dog Rooney. She made his last moments as peaceful as possible, which we greatly appreciated.
She was as sweet and comforting with our Indy as he was with all whom he met when he was still here. Couldn’t recommend highly enough. ❤️
