Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
I became a Veterinarian because I enjoyed working with people and animals, and thought I could do both as a Veterinarian. I have practiced small animal medicine and surgery for the past 31 years in a clinical setting, and am ready for a change in settings. I have preformed many euthanasias in those years, and my heart still hurts for those folks that have to say good bye to their 4 legged buddies. Euthanasia decisions are never easy, but I feel like it is our responsibility to make the process and painless and as compassionate as possible for both the pet and their family.

What pet parents are saying
We had to say goodbye to our beloved spoiled fur baby Harley. We wanted to make sure he had a peaceful and comfortable end-of-life experience, so we decided to have him euthanized at home. I found CodaPet online and read great reviews about their services. I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Lisa Stadler who came to our house . She was so kind and compassionate, and she took the time to answer all of our questions. She also made sure that Harley was comfortable and relaxed before she gave him the injection. The whole process was very peaceful and dignified. Dr. Stadler stayed with us until Harley passed away. She gave us time to ourselves with him to say our goodbyes. So grateful to her for helping us to say goodbye to our very very spoiled baby, in the best way possible. I would highly recommend CodaPet and Dr. Lisa Stadler to anyone who is considering in-home pet euthanasia. They are compassionate and professional, and they will make sure that your pet has a peaceful and loving end-of-life experience. So thankful for all she did.
Dr. Lisa did an amazing job with not only Jaxs but with the family as well. Lisa had actually been with Jaxs from the beginning, she took care of him as a pup so no one better than for her to be there when it was time for him to be put to rest. We were able to take Jaxs to his favorite sunning place amongst the grapevines. Lisa told us exactly was she what she was going to do every step of the way. Thanks again Lisa for making this process a little easier for our family!❤️
I was unaware that in home pet euthanasia was an option until my dog was diagnosed with hemangiosarcoma and took a turn for the worse. I was able to easily schedule an allotment through CodaPet and have Dr. Stadler arrive the next day. Although it was an extremely challenge decision to make I was put at ease knowing that my dog was able to stay at home instead of going into a veterinarian where she would have been uncomfortable. Dr. Stadler was great and I am appreciative of the service she offers.
Dr. Stadler was absolutely amazing in helping us through this process. She reached out a few days in advance, offering helpful suggestions to manage our dog’s pain while we wait for our date. When she arrived at our house, she was incredibly compassionate, listened to our stories, and never once judged us. I felt horrible about everything because our baby was having a good day and was acting normal, but Dr. Stadler explained that this was likely due to the adrenaline from new people. She made me feel at ease with our decision. She explained every step of the process and gave us time to adjust. It was clear she truly cared about our dog’s comfort and well-being. I’m so grateful that we were able to give our baby the peaceful goodbye she deserved, in the comfort of our home and surrounded by loved ones as she crossed the Rainbow Bridge. 💕🐾
Saying goodbye to our beloved dachshund Lily was one of the most painful moments of our lives, but thanks to Dr. Lisa Stadler with CodaPet, it was also one of the most peaceful and compassionate. Dr. Lisa, a retired veterinarian, brought a gentle presence and deep empathy into our home—qualities that made an unbearable day a little more bearable. Her kindness and professionalism helped guide my wife and me through the process with grace and dignity. We are overwhelmingly grateful that Lily was able to pass in the comfort of her home, surrounded by the space and the things she loved most. Holding her in my arms as she went peacefully was a blessing I will never forget. The communication with CodaPet was seamless, and scheduling the appointment was simple—something I deeply appreciated during such an emotionally difficult time. I cannot recommend CodaPet and Dr. Lisa more highly. Their service was not just professional—it was personal, compassionate, and deeply respectful. Thank you for being part of Lily’s journey, and ours. You will forever hold a place in our hearts.
Dr Stadler provided so much comfort during this difficult decision. She reassured me of things I was weary on and provided a calm explanation with everything she did. I cannot say enough wonderful things about her. She truly was the best option we could have found. Very professional and personable. Even sent a card with her condolences!
