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
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
Dr. Perzak of Codapet was warm, caring and helped us through the loss of our beloved Cobie. This is a wonderful service for us pet owners who don't want to put our babies through any more stress by dragging them to an office. Highly recommended.
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!
Dr. Perzak was wonderful with our little dog Tucson when it was time for him to cross the rainbow bridge. It was such a hard decision to make for us to let him go but Dr. Perzak was so gentle and comforting that it made it a little easier. We would highly recommend her if that time comes.
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.
Dr Perzak is a lovely person. She is very professional and has empathy for the people going through this process. Thank you, Dr Perzak. I hope life treats you as well as you treat others.
