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

Dr. Perzak was a calming presence during the euthanasia of my sweet puppy. She was professional and did not rush us through the process. As painful as this decision was for me, I'm glad we were able to do it in the comfort of our home where our pup could be relaxed and not anxious in her final moments.

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.

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. ❤️

Dr. Perzak provided the most compassionate care during a very hard decision. She helped our Dixie cross the rainbow bridge at home, in a calm and peaceful environment surrounded by love. Her kindness, patience, and gentle presence brought comfort to both our sweet girl and our family. We are forever grateful.

Dr. Perzak was very compassionate and supportive during our family's difficult time of letting go of our sweet Lilly! She was kind & patient. My son is military so he was not able to be home to say his goodbyes to his childhood dog. He was able to be a part via video call & she took the time to talk with him as well to include him in the moments to say goodbye. Her genuine compassion of our loss helped us understand why it was best to let our Lilly go who was very sick. Our family appreciates everything she did for us! Thank you so much Dr. Perzak!♥️

Review by Dr. Deborah Perzak

We cannot say enough good things about Dr Deborah Perzak and CodaPet. In the days immediately following Hurricane Helene, our beloved cat Samantha's (Sammy's) health declined very quickly. We knew it was the end for her, and she was suffering significantly. But because so much of the State was out of power and no Veteranarian hospitals were open, we could only watch with our hearts breaking for our poor Sammy. On the recommendation of our friends, we contacted CodaPet, and despite the lack of power and difficult roads, Dr Perzak was able to meet us that day. The experience was so professional but personal as well. We were able to put her on the grass where we knew Sammy was the most comfortable and that is where she administered the medicines to put her to sleep and send her on her way. She wrapped our beloved Sammy in a purple blanket and she even gave us a hug knowing how much it hurt us. She will forever be a person we will recommend for anyone who has to go through this heartbreaking event.
