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. John Crawford is truly an exceptional veterinarian—compassionate, patient, and deeply caring. He helped my beloved dog, Dada, pass peacefully, guiding me through one of the most difficult moments of my life with such kindness and understanding. His gentle approach made all the difference, and I will always be grateful for the care he provided. He went above and beyond by thoughtfully making sure I had Dada’s paw print, even hand-delivering it. That level of kindness speaks volumes about his dedication to both his patients and their families. Dr. Crawford is an absolute angel—God-sent during such a heartbreaking time. He is not only a skilled professional but also a genuinely kindhearted person. Anyone lucky enough to have him as their vet will be in the best hands. Thank you, John, for everything!
The vet we chose was Dr. John Crawford . He was absolutely fantastic. Compassionate and kind and made our horrible circumstance tolerable. Our German Shepherd Zeus was a very large dog, with a little help from myself John was totally prepared for the removal process. If this review reaches you and this guy is in your area look no farther . This is who you are looking for. Thanks again John you won’t be forgotten.
Dr. Crawford was amazing! Incredibly gentle, kind & compassionate. He was so loving towards our old man, Mosse. My heart goes out to all my fellow paw-parents. No one ever wants to have to contact Laps of Love, as we know heartbreak soon follows. However, when that dark day comes, Dr. Crawford, with his love & compassion, will make it a little brighter. Dr. Crawford went above & beyond, when a week later, he hand-delivered our boy's ashes. Sadly, this was second experience with Laps of Love. We strongly urge others to contact Laps of Love, as it is the last act of love you can show your 'baby', in the comfort of your own home, surrounded by all of your baby's loved ones.
I cannot express enough how grateful we are for the exceptional care and kindness we received from Dr. Crawford. From the moment we walked into our home, it was clear that he truly cares about his patients and their families. His compassion and support went above and beyond, making a challenging time much easier to handle. Dr. Crawford took the time to answer all our questions and provided thoughtful, attentive care. We truly appreciate his unwavering kindness and the genuine concern he showed for our beloved pet. Thank you so much for everything!
Dr. Crawford was a gift to us in our final moments with our sweet boy. This was me and my partners first dog together, our first child! Dr. Crawford is one of the most emphatic people I’ve ever met. I could tell instantly his respect for our grief and his care for our dog. Not only did he perform the in home pet euthanasia, informing us every step of the way, but he was very compassionate towards our grief. Dr. Crawford took his time and even asked if we needed more time with our dog. We were comforted knowing our dog did not have to move from his own home and bed before he passed. He was able to finally be relaxed like the good ole young days and we were able to say goodbye again while he was without pain before he was officially euthanized. This has to be the hardest job in the world and we are beyond grateful we chose Dr. Crawford.
When the time came for our final goodbye to our beloved pet, we decided in home pet euthanasia was our best option. We found Dr. Crawford online through CodaPet. CodaPet’s online scheduling made the process easy when talking about it was difficult. CodaPet’s website explained the process and contained information to answer all of our questions. Dr. Crawford’s compassion and calming demeanor was very helpful. We were given as much time as needed to say our goodbyes. I highly recommend Dr. Crawford and CodaPet.
