Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
Our pets are one of the few constants in our life. They play such a grounding role for us, with their unconditional love and support. It is truly the last loving decision we can make as their caretakers to help them pass peacefully, with dignity and respect. As a veterinarian that has helped with end-of-life care both in home and in a clinic, I see the many great benefits for families and their pets with the privacy of in-home services, where both are the most comfortable and relaxed in their own environment.

What pet parents are saying
I can't say enough about the care and true feelings Dr. Jessica had for my cat Sasi and I. She provided us with everything for a gentle and comfortable good bye for my sweet girl. I was able to continue petting her gently the entire time. I highly recommend this service to anyone with a beloved pet.β€οΈ
Last week we had to say goodbye to our beloved 15 year old dog, Caesar. Making this end of life decision was beyond difficult. Dr. Jessica Mumm was truly an angel there to guide us through the process. Her genuinely compassionate and gentle presence was so much appreciated by our whole family. I cannot recommend her enough if you are in need of end of life assistance for your pet.
Just before New Years, we noticed some changes in our beloved elderly cat, Callie, who unfortunately went downhill quite quickly. We scheduled a vet visit with our local vet clinic for early New Years Eve day suspecting we were nearing the end but hopeful she might pull through. When the time came for the appointment, it became more clear to us Callie was in rough shape and the thought of bringing her to the vet and her last moments alive being of sheer terror didn't feel good for us. We started calling around to several vets who perform home euthanasia, but being New Years Eve and due to our more rural location, we were coming up short. Thankfully one of those companies recommended CodaPet. I was able to make our appointment for that day online and shortly after Dr. Mumm reached out via phone to talk to us about what was going on and what to expect. When Dr. Mumm arrived, she did an exam on our kitty to help us confirm what our gut suspected and helped us to know we were making the right choice for Callie. She was so very kind to us, our kids, and our sweet cat. She was so patient, compassionate, and flexible to our needs in the moment. The whole process was handled just beautifully, in one of the worst moments of our life. We also just received the kindest sympathy card with all the little details, and it meant the world to know she truly listened and cared. We are just so so grateful for CodaPet and Dr. Mumm for being there for us in a time where we really needed it. We will recommend CodaPet to anyone with pets facing a similar choice. Thank you Dr. Mumm and CodaPet!
Two weeks ago today I needed to euthanize my big, handsome, and sweetest boy ever Archie. He was 14, and his precipitous decline was so sudden. I didnβt even know home pet euthanasia was even an option, until I began looking online that morning. Dr Jessica was such a gift to me and my family members that were able to gather here to love Archie and say goodbye together. The worst possible day happened in the best possible way. And I know heβs very happy now with my mom and dad, and all our family members in heaven. Thank you, Dr Jessica for walking us through that morning of mourning.
Dr. Mumm was compassionate, caring, and kind throughout our difficult time of saying goodbye to our elderly Bella. We could not have asked for a more peaceful experience both for Bella and for us.
Saying goodbye to our dog Kato was really hard but it was reassuring to know we were making the right decision after the evaluation. Jessica was kind and loving to our pet that we shared memories with for 13 years.
