Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
Our pets provide us so much joy and happiness, that we can't ever truly be ready to say goodbye. After participating in euthanasia's in a clinic setting for 15 years, I'm relieved to be able to provide a more relaxing, peaceful, and personal alternative to pets and their families.

What pet parents are saying
Dr. Pugh is one of the most compassionate people I have met in a long time. She guided me through the process with kid gloves. I couldn’t have had a better experience in such a very difficult and heartbreaking situation.
Dr. Pugh was amazing. She guided my wife and I through a very difficult process and allowed us to grieve. Her calm demeanor and utmost professionalism brought comfort to us during an emotionally elevated experience. It was clear that she truly cares for both the pet and the family.
Dr. Kristina came to our home displaying kindness and concern for our cat and our family. It was a difficult day to invite a stranger into our home, but we felt at ease with Dr. Kristina as she assisted Spin in her peaceful transition.
After an amazing 14 year journey with the kindest German Shepherd that ever lived, we made the impossible decision to allow Jakob to continue his journey without us. Contacting Dr. Pugh and scheduling an in home pet euthanasia was a monumental decision in our lives with Jakob. Thank you Dr. Pugh. You made our heartbreak a wee bit better. He was indeed a Good Boy.
As gut-wrenching as it is to lose a pet, making the arrangements and the final appointment were stress-free. When Dr. Pugh arrived at our home, she took her shoes off, put her bag on the coffee table, then got down on the floor with Raven (our 14 year old dog) to get to know her a bit. Dr. Pugh was soft-spoken while keeping us informed ... choosing her words wisely and precisely. Once Raven was at peace, I was able to assist Dr. Pugh in getting Raven to the car. You know when the time has come. Don't second-guess yourself, go online with CodaPet. Maybe you'll be lucky enough to get Dr. Kristina Pugh!
We cannot thank Dr Kristina Pugh enough for the compassion and professionalism she showed during one of the hardest moments of our lives. When we had to say goodbye to our beloved Sunny, her gentle approach, genuine care and understanding made an incredibly difficult situation bearable. Dr Pugh handled everything with such kindness, explaining the whole process clearly and treating Sunny with dignity and respect. We are forever grateful for the empathy and professionalism she showed us.
