Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
I have spent the majority of my career as a spay/neuter veterinary surgeon, helping thousands of animals live healthier lives while also reducing the number of unwanted pets. That work taught me the importance of compassion, prevention, and service to both pets and their families. Over time, I felt called to focus on another important part of veterinary medicine—end-of-life care. I believe every pet deserves to pass peacefully in a familiar place, surrounded by people they know and love. When I’m not working, I enjoy mountain biking, hiking, and camping with my four-legged best buddy Hopper, visiting my son at Clemson, who is continuing the Tiger tradition, and spending time with my daughter, who is a senior in high school. I know personally the comfort and joy animals bring to our lives, and it’s so important to honor them with dignity and love at the end. I consider it a privilege to walk alongside families during such an important time. My approach is guided by empathy, compassion, and respect—for both the pets and the people who cherish them.

What pet parents are saying
Dr. DuBose was wonderful. She responded quickly and came the same day. She was patient and let us take our time with our goodbyes. She was gently and explained everything to us. I would highly recommend her.
Dr. Laura was the best. She was so compassionate and explained the details and how my girl would go to sleep peacefully. There was no rushing to take her away from us until we all had a chance to say our goodbyes and we were ready. I thank God for people like Dr. Laura that understand Sophie wasn't just a dog that she was part of our family. Being with my girl while she went over the rainbow bridge was the least I could do after all the unconditional love she gave us. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend or use her again.
Dr. DuBose was very patient and understanding with us as we struggled with deciding what was best for our pet. She provided helpful guidance and kindly gave us all the time we needed to consider our options.
Extremely compassionate and helped us realize that we were doing the right thing for our companion. Very respectful and reassuring during her visit.
Coda Pet was amazing. Dr Laura was so compassionate. She even had tears in her eyes as we said our goodbyes. It’s a very painful experience to lose a beloved pet but, her calming presence made the situation much better. She gave us as much time as we needed. I would also like to mention the communication leading up to the visit was exceptional. There are so many doubts. Dr Laura was patient and gave us tools to realize that this was the best decision for our beloved pet. We chose individual cremation with a paw print and it was done very nicely by Agape. I hope I don’t have to see her for a long time. But if I ever need their services again I would not hesitate. Highly recommend to anyone faced with this difficult decision.
Dr Laura was kind, empathetic, and very patient with my elderly mom and the euthanasia process for her 18 year old kitty. There is nothing easy about losing our family pets. The service provided by this group of vets is invaluable in the grieving process. We had used this same company 3 months prior for our 15 year old dog and we experienced the same compassion and care. The sense of comfort and peace for everyone involved is priceless. Thank you for such a beautiful service!!
