Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

Being a vet was a childhood dream that started when I was about 4 years old. I started to develop a strong interest in senior pets and end of life care during vet school. I loved the human animal bond and felt so much reward from being able to walk with owners through their pet's later stages of life. I grew up with a little Westie named Maxie. She was my constant companion through grade school and started living with me when I went to vet school. I was her sole caregiver during her "senior years" until I made the decision to say goodbye to her when she was 17 years old. I was a vet at the time and had the gift of having my colleague being able to come to my home. I said goodbye to Maxie surrounded by friends in the comfort of our home. I wish everyone had the opportunity to say goodbye to their furry family members where so many of their memories are made and where they feel most comfortable.

What pet parents are saying

When I called CodaPet, the greeting I received from the vet-tech scheduler was warm and kind. She was thorough in gathering information from me to start the request for services, and explained the process and pricing, etc. She was very good at helping me. (CodaPet is the most reasonably priced service in the Dallas-Metro area, and Dr. Stucky doesn't charge a travel fee if within their large service area, as most companies do.) She told me about Dr. Kirsten Stucky, the professional, loving, intelligent and kind vet who came to my home and helped me send my 8-yr-old catmate to heaven (He was that good a little being...😻! ) Dr. Stukey knows her stuff. She was focussed on calming and respectfully easing Emmett into his death, and he had only a short time of fear, because she is so adept at seamslessly doing the procedure. She was VERY attentive to me, my wishes and my well being. I can't imagine a more well suited veterinarian to help critters and animal parents through such a difficult time. She truly is a blessing to our community of animal lovers. I wish she were MY doctor, really. Janet Gillespie

Kirsten was incredible in every way. The days leading up, she texted words of encouragement and provided information that was so incredibly. I cannot imagine a smoother experience. It didn’t take away our pain, but we felt so well cared for throughout. This was so, so much harder than we ever imagined, but Kirsten was key in making such a difference for us.

Kirsten definitely handled the experience with kindness, love and patience. I feel very fortunate that Diamond was able to make her transition from the comfort of her own surroundings. It was a very peaceful event. Thank you very much, Glenn.

Dr. Kirsten Stukey was assigned to us. She was calm, professional, and compassionate. Our experience was the absolute best it could be considering the circumstances. My thanks to her and CodaPet for helping us get through this step.

We lost our beloved fur baby after eleven years together. Dr. Stuckey texted me numerous times during the day to ask for feedback and throughly explained everything. My dog was very much our protector and taking him somewhere to be put to doggy eternity was out of the question. She was so patient with our request with our baby. In such a sad time she made it so calm for Charlie and my family . He was able to pass in his home surrounded by his loved ones . She was absolutely remarkable!! I will forever hold her in my heart ❤️
