Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

Dr Kelli Bays was the exact doctor we needed for Gracie. She was perfect! Her gentle and calm demeanor, her ability to understand what Gracie and we needed at this difficult time, were priceless. She explained every step without making us feel that she is hurrying through a process . She took her time and she gave Gracie a peaceful goodbye. We are ever grateful for her service and codapet. Saying goodbye to a beloved animal, family member is never easy , but with Dr Kelli we felt that our Gracie was in the best hands possible.

Dr Kelly is an amazing Vet helping those of us who are in distress about the decline of our beautiful animals. The website is very easy, Dr Kelly connects on a personal level after your decision is made and continues to give you options at this difficult time. Dr Kelly is kind and comforting and treats all with respect. A heart felt condolence card was in the mail. Dr Kelly returned our ashes in a beautiful box that was wrapped with love and care. She was still asking and concerned about the ones who are grieving the loss of their best friend. I highly recommend Dr Kelly’s services.

Dr. Kelli was phenomenal with both my daughter and her pet. It was a beautiful heartbreaking event that gave us peace and we knew we were doing the right thing for our pet. The attention to detail and the follow up visit was perfect. Thank you!

Dr. Bays was an excellent choice for us. She is professional, kind and sympathetic. She listened to my family talk about our dear cat, and didn't rush us but allowed us to share. The process was thoroughly explained to us, and she did her job with gentleness and compassion. This was a really hard decision for us to make, but we as family, felt so much better after her reassurances. She clearly truly loves animals and was the perfect doctor for us.
