Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
I have always been extremely passionate about animals. I was fortunate to have a wonderful mentor while in middle school that showed me how great the connection between pets, owners and their veterinarian could be. I had a lot of animals growing up and have even more these days! I have always had a mobile practice and enjoyed providing veterinary services to animal owners at their home. In my experience it was always so much less stress on the animal owner and the pet themselves for the euthanasia process to be performed at home. It is something that I have done since the very beginning of my practice but now I would like to make those services available to even more people.

What pet parents are saying
I am so very grateful for the in home euthanasia. Dr. Helena Carner showed so much care & compassion for my dog & for me. Choosing CodaPet made it so very simple. I would recommend CodaPet to everyone. Thank you❤️
Dr. Carner is professional & very compassionate. She show understanding & explained everything thing she was doing. I really am very happy with the service I received. Thank you!
It was very peaceful to have Dr. Carner come to the house. My poor girl, Miya, stressed out to the point of her head vibrating, on her previous visit to the vet. I didn't want her to get stressed out before we said our goodbyes. Her ashes were delivered back home. What a peaceful memories of losing my fur baby.
I can't say enough good things about Dr. Helena Carner, but here are a few - - She was available on short notice on a weekend which enabled me to keep my baby at home, where he was most comfortable and other vets were not available. She alleviated my fear of having to put him through a difficult car ride to a noisy office with clinical smells. - She arrived exactly on time and was so compassionate and empathetic. - Dr. Carner worked with me to have some time so that my younger cat could witness and understand that her "brother", whom she'd known all her life, wasn't with us anymore. This was valuable time for me, too as the transition from being with me to being gone was not rushed and allowed me time to adjust. - Communication was great and continues to be while I await the return of my beloved cat's cremains. I have already sung her praises to other pet parents who aren't in need of her services yet, and will continue to do so as the need arises. Many thanks for Dr. Carner for being so easy to work with and making a very difficult time easier for both me and my cat.
This is a copy/paste of the message I sent to our primary vet. I stand by it still.

I can't thank you enough for pointing us at codapet during this awful time. The vet, Dr. Carner, is a consummate professional and was nothing but gentle and loving with our boy and completely sensitive to our crushed hearts. It was as calm and peaceful as we could have wished for. Thank you again for helping take care of us and our babies. jan "
Dr. Carner is very caring, empathetic, and went at our pace so we did not feel rushed during the euthanasia process. We greatly appreciated all that she did for us, and we would highly recommend her.
