Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
From the time I could pronounce the word, I wanted to be a veterinarian (around 5 years old) and I never wavered from that goal. I have been a veterinarian for over 35 years and still love every minute of my profession. I never felt being a veterinarian was a career choice, but rather a calling. I have strived to provide the best care possible for my patients, with special attention to reducing their pain and suffering. To this end, I have many years providing home euthanasia for family pets. I have always felt profoundly honored to be chosen by a family to help their beloved pet pass from their suffering to a place where they are free. To do so in the comfort of their own home (or other special place) is so much more dignified and intimate for the patient and their family.

What pet parents are saying
At home pet euthanasia was the best choice I could have made for my little Harley. She passed peacefully without pain or fear while laying in my arms. Thank you Dr. Noe for your kindness and gentle touch.
Dr Laurie Noe is gentle ,kind and loyal to put Holly to sleep. She held me when i cried 😢. I was so. impressed with the she took Holly with her. I just said goodbye Holly. We will meet in heaven someday soon.
Very kind and compassionate. She did everything to make sure our Belle and our family were treated with dignity and respect. This is the second time we have used Coda. It is the best possible way to send your beloved pet to Heaven .
In a very difficult and heartbreaking situation we were in Dr. Laurie Noe was very understanding and compassionate towards our family and our beloved pet. She gave us the proper time to say our goodbyes to our beautiful Bella. They took good care of her in her last moments. Thank You so much Dr. Noe, our family is grateful for your compassion towards us.
For those only interested in a brief review, let me say that Dr. Noe and her assistant, Bill, were wonderful. The entire procedure could not have been smoother or more humane. I cannot recommend this service enough for when you have to say "goodbye". For those interested in greater detail, here goes. My cat, Seamus, was in terminal decline for the past 20 months lymphoma. His last days were grim and I want to think he let us know that he was ready the day of the procedure. Seamus always hated to go to the vet's office, so I researched in-home euthanasia options to see if it was feasible. Once I found the CodaPet website, it was very simple to schedule an appointment for when it was my buddy's time. Dr. Noe contacted me the afternoon before to go over the steps of the procedure and to answer a number of my questions and concerns. I felt very reassured by her answers. The next day, Dr. Noe and Bill arrived slightly early, which I greatly appreciate. Once inside the house, we went over the paperwork and she went through the proceedings again and explained how his remains would be returned to us. We chose to perform the euthanasia outside on our patio, where Seamus liked to lie in the sun. Dr. Noe did a brief exam before administering the sedative. Once the sedative had taken effect, we all went outside to say our "good byes". Dr. Noe and Bill were so kind and understanding- taking numerous paw prints and preserving some of Seamus' fur for us. They even waited for me to give a brief, but tearful eulogy. Then, with my Seamus in my arms, the doctor administered the drug and he passed as calmly and gently as could be. I then held him for a few more minutes while the Doctor and Bill retrieved a padded basket for my Seamus' remains. As hard as this day was, the relief we felt after it was done was tremendous. This is in no small part a result of the care, compassion, and professionalism of Dr. Noe and Bill. They made this procedure as good as I could have possibly hoped. I cannot recommend an in-home procedure enough for the animals you love. It is simply the best way to do a difficult, but necessary thing. You won't regret it.
I was so deeply grateful for the professionalism, compassion and concern shown by our Vet Dr. Noe. My cat's passing was extremely peaceful and she handled everything with such sensitivity. Thank you
