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

Dr. Gary was so kind, patient and considerate in discussing our sweet Zoey's (15 years) medical situation, answering questions and helping me to arrive at the most devastating but kindest decision for her. I am so very grateful that she was able to pass peaceably at home with me at her side. Dr. Gary also made time to hand-deliver Zoey's cremains to our family, giving us some comfort and closure. Thank you so much, Dr. Gary.

Dr. Hsia made a very difficult situation much easier. I would highly recommend their services. I researched price and their at home service was comparable to a veterinarian's office. My dog didn't like going to the vet, so I didn't want to subject him to that stress. I was so pleased with Dr. Hsia and his wife Dr. Bethany Hsia. They were kind, compassionate and very thoughtful during this difficult time for my family.

Dr Gary was so compassionate and understanding. He communicated and really empathized with us. Although it was a hard situation, it brought great comfort and peace the way it was handled and the care and loving tokens of sympathy and remembrance of Brownie that he and Four Creeks Pet Crematorium gave us.

Dr. Hsia was very kind and gentle with our beloved Jeffrey. I couldn’t not have asked for such an incredibly sad and emotional experience to have gone any better. He explained everything thoroughly and made us feel very comfortable with the process. It truly was a peaceful passing at home. I’m so grateful we were able to do this for Jeffrey and not have to drive him back to the pet hospital. I would highly recommend him to anyone in the same situation.

This is our second time using Coda Pet. When the difficult decision was made that our senior dog needed to be put down to rest we turned to Dr. Gary once again. He is the most gentle, kind and compassionate veterinarian. Our children were present and allowed to snuggle, comfort and say their goodbyes to our fur baby. We truly could ask for a better experience
