Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

A client said to me 'You must hate your job.' I explained that I'm here for you and your Family during one of your greatest times of need. Bringing comfort, peace, and ending suffering is a wonderful service we can offer our four-legged Family members. Households frequently comment they felt a huge relief, like the weight of worry and concern was removed, knowing they did everything possible. They also appreciated saying goodbye in their own home, to grieve in private, and that CodaPet handled all the arrangements. Bringing this comfort, peace, and calm to the community is my ‘why.’

What pet parents are saying

Dr. Crawford was very kind and compassionate. He made a very difficult situation easier to handle and we were very grateful to have him guiding us through the process.

Review by Dr. John Crawford

I have no words for how gentle and kind Dr. Crawford was with our Enzo as he passed. It was one of the hardest days of our lives but Dr. Crawford made us all feel comfortable and secure. His respect for our pet was so apparent, and he passed in such a beautiful way. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience during such a tragic ordeal.

Dr. Crawford was absolutely amazing. We were having a very difficult time and he was extremely patient and empathetic. He made us and our dog feel so at ease. I really cannot say enough good things about him.

We wanted our beloved Rosie, a beautiful golden retriever, to die at home but our veterinarian wasn’t set up for that service. Her health decline dramatically on Friday night so, on Saturday morning, we searched online, found CodaPet, and discovered that Dr. John Crawford could come to our home later that morning. We could not have hoped for someone more patient, kind, compassionate, and professional than John. As soon as he entered our home, we were enveloped by his gentle, calming presence. He was a warm, comforting light in one of the darkest days of our lives. He ensured that Rosie died without pain or anxiety while being surrounded by her loving family. He's earned our family's eternal gratitude.

Dr Crawford was extremely caring and kind. He allowed me the space and time I needed to say my last good byes. I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.

Dr. John Crawford was wonderful. He is incredibly kind and compassionate and very professional. Saying good-bye to Cooper with in-home pet euthanasia and Dr. Crawford made a difficult decision much less stressful for Cooper and the rest of our family including our dog who was able to say her good-bye to him.
