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 can’t fully put into words how much my family and I appreciate Dr. Perzak. Her kind, warm energy made one of the hardest days of our life manageable. She helped and reassured me before she got to our house, and the rest of the process was as peaceful as could be made possible. I am forever grateful to her and would recommend her to anyone. My soul dog was able to transition in the comfort of her own home thanks to Dr. Perzak.

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.

It was so sad to say goodbye to Duke...at least it was a peaceful goodbye in the comfort of our home. I'd recommend Dr Perzak for anyone seeking to euthanize at home when they are elderly and in too much pain.

When I realized that it was time for my sweet Axle to cross the rainbow bridge I wanted to create a peaceful, calm setting in a familiar place surrounded by people and things he loved. I reached out to Coda Pet to schedule a consultation. Dr. Perzak was so helpful in explaining the process. She answered all of my many questions leading up to our appointment and even assisted me with moving up the initial appointment when Axle’s condition worsened. When she arrived at my home, we chatted and she examined my baby and loved on him as we spoke. She allowed me to tell her of our many adventures and special moments together over the past 15 years. She explained everything as she went along and there was never any rush. She gave us space and allowed all the time that we needed to say our goodbyes. Dr Perzak definitely has a gift for assisting pets and their families during this difficult time. I absolutely recommend in home euthanasia and Dr Perzak. She was amazing!

Dr. Perzak has been our Angel…since 2012 when she met and began care of our Ailey until recently (November 2025) when she lovingly guided Ailey to eternal peace and comfort through at-home euthanasia. Dr. Perzak surrounded us with her love, kindness and care during each step of the process. Her professional and empathetic manner are second to none. Ailey will be forever in our hearts. She is in HIS purrrrrrfect home, playful and happy. Dr. Perzak will be forever in hearts.
