Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

I believe precious memories with your pet should never be overshadowed by a stressful goodbye. I have firsthand experience with the stress of saying goodbye to my first dog, Willy, at the clinic, and since then being able to say goodbye to two other dogs at home. This is why a peaceful passing at home is so important to me.

What pet parents are saying

As difficult as the process of putting your pet down is, Dr. Gary made the process much easier. He was so kind and compassionate with us and our dog. You can tell he really cares about animals immensely. Being able to be there with our dog in our home where he is most comfortable was the silver lining of an awful situation. He was so much more comfortable than if we had taken him to a vet’s office. If I ever have to do this again, I would use Coda and Dr. Gary again.

Dr. Gary was just who we needed in our hardest time. He answered all questions and reassured us through the entire process while comforting our sorrow. The hardest part of being a pet owner is knowing when to say goodbye. And Dr. Gary made that transition for our beloved dog Cash as well as it could be. I’m thankful to be able to be by his side reminding him how much he was loved and how much he meant to our entire family during his peaceful passing in my arms. Just over the rainbow and forever in my heart, rest in peace Cash Michael.

We opted with home euthanasia and was not disappointed at all. From the beginning to end, Dr Gary was very professional, very kind and very supportive through this difficult decision. He sat on the floor where our dog was and proceeded the procedure where our dog was not comfortable. Dr Gary gave stepped outside to give us time to grieve. I definitely would recommend him!
