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.

When my vet gently hinted that my furbaby did not have much time left, it was hard to swallow, but I knew that I needed to educate myself about how to keep him comfortable and how to give him the love he deserves. CodaPet was one of the options suggested, and as devastating as this has been for me, choosing this option has brought me some peace. I didn’t want my furbaby to be cold and scared and surrounded by unfamiliar smells and in pain. No. When the vet told me that it was time, we did it the right way. We were able to be home, filling him with love and attention and snuggles on his favorite beanbag. He wasn’t afraid or in pain. It was very gentle, and Dr. Perzak is an angel.

Hey, tough bitter sweet post. Bailey was our first baby and always will be. She was a core part of our safety and our daily life. When the hardest decision had to be made fortunately we found Dr. Perzak. To be honest we did not know what to expect or really wanted to make this decision. However we made the decision of our baby to pass on. This is where Dr. Perzak shined like a bright star in such a dark time. She made all of our final moments as sentiment and thoughtful as she could possibly do in her position. Dr. Perzak showed up to our house at late hours in the evening " scheduling availability" which allowed us to spend as much of our last momements with our baby. When she arrived it wasn't " just straight to business". She stayed put with us and embraced those last precious moments with our baby like it was her own. She was so heart felt and gentle through out this entire difficult hsrship in our life. I never wish this part of companionship with any owner but it's inevitable. However when that time does come, you should rest easy knowing there is a amazing Doctor out there who clearly is passionate about what she does and is loving and sincere when it comes to those momements. Can't express enough how grateful we are through out it all. Thank you again Dr. Perzak. Sincerely, The Shulers

Review by Dr. Deborah Perzak

Dr Perzak was wonderful to our sweet Lili and to us. We judge character on how well our dogs like people. Lili was feeling terrible. When Dr Perzak came and sat with her she crawled up on her lap and put her head in her hand. She knew she was to be trusted and that she was there to help her. And she did. We appreciate this service in the home. It was so much easier on sweet Lilith Anne who as a rescue dog has always been terribied of going to the vets office. Thank you!
