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.

Deborah was absolutely wonderful. Super gentle, calm and very respectful energy. She let me add to the course of events (I wanted to play something to my fur baby). I couldn’t praise her enough in helping through this tough time.

Dr. Perzak was absolutely incredible, she immediately put my whole family at ease with her manner, care, and attentiveness. She was lovely with our son and took time to get to know our sweet cat. I am so grateful for her skill helping our cat pass on with comfort and care. Thank you so very much for being so amazing during such a hard day!

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.

Dr. Perzak was not only caring, but her professionalism gave us reassurance at an important time. Only today, two weeks later, as we were spreading our dear pet's ashes near a special hiking place, did we find his dog tags among the ashes, just as it should have been. Now we will put the tags with the remaining ashes in the most special location. Thank you, Dr. Perzak and the Codapet team for handling everything just right. It gave Blazethe proper end to a life of love and activity.
