Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
I became a veterinarian to make a meaningful difference in the lives of animals and their families, offering comfort, healing, and support through every stage of their journey. I chose to offer in-home euthanasia because I believe it provides the most compassionate, stress-free way for pets to pass in familiar surroundings, surrounded by love.

What pet parents are saying
Dr. Katie Todd was highly recommended to us. Our 18 year old shihpoo had been struggling with rapidly declining health. I can vividly remember bringing Lilly home at 8 weeks old and spending 18 years of pure joy with her. It was a wonderful honor to get to be her Mommy. That little girl was my primary sidekick and we had a ball together. She was right there with me throughout everything good and bad that life threw our way. When her little body became to tired, I knew that I wanted to make sure that her time was as perfect as it could be for her. I wanted to make sure that Lilly had a calm and peaceful transition. Dr. Katie Todd provided just that for us. She made herself available to us on a Sunday evening and came to our home. Dr. Todd was so kind and soothing. She calmly explained everything to us prior to and as she was administering the medications. Dr. Todd has a very difficult career watching people grieve so terribly but also being so helpful in such a time of need. It takes a very strong person with a tremendous heart to be able to accomplish that. We are so grateful for her and that she provided our beautiful Lilly the opportunity to pass peacefully in the comfort of her own home while be held in her Mommy's arms. Thank you Dr. Todd for being there for us.
I really appreciate the time Katie spent answering my texts prior to Yogi passing. She helped me feel sure of the decision to euthanize and helped me feel comfortable knowing when it was the right time. Ironically, Yogi passed away naturally while I was signing the forms the day he was to be euthanized. Katie had just arrived less than 5 minutes before. She offered to perform post-death care and paw prints, but we opted to do that ourselves. Even though we ultimately didn’t require her services, her kindness and knowledge of what was happening really helped us get through a very sad time. We would recommend Katie to anyone faced with the same difficult situation.
Dr. Todd was very kind and gentle with our little Peanut, and respectful of our grief. She carefully explained everything that would happen and gave us as much time as we needed to be with him before and after. She made his passing much more peaceful for him, especially since she came to our home so he didn't have to experience another trip to the vet's office.
Dr. Katie Todd was so kind and informative. She explained the process and answered all of our questions. Our sweet girl is at peace and out of pain and I couldn't have asked for a better experience for her.
I cannot express how grateful I am for the exceptional care and compassion Dr. Todd showed when she came to our home to help our beloved dog. She was not only a skilled veterinarian, but also an empathetic person. She treated our furry baby with the utmost gentleness, ensuring he was comfortable in his final moments. She took time to explain everything, answered our questions and did not rush us through our saying goodbyes. Her professionalism, warmth, and understanding made an incredibly painful experience more bearable. Thank you, Dr. Todd for being there for us when we needed it the most. Lastly, thank you for the beautiful keepsakes that we will cherish forever! You are truly amazing!
Faced the difficult decision to euthanize our beloved 18 year old Papillon and used Codapet to do it in our home as our dog hated to go to the vet. Dr. Katie Todd arrived and explained in detail the process, gave us plenty of time to say our goodbyes, and made the process as easy as possible. She was very reassuring to my children that we had made the right decision and explained all the options for taking care of the remains and provided us with keepsakes to ease the family’s pain. Thank you so much Dr.Todd in doing what has to be one of the world’s toughest jobs!
