Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

While I loved healthy puppy, kitten, and even reptile visits, I soon realized that sometimes a vet's job also necessitates relieving suffering and helping pets to pass peacefully. To be able to further experience and support the bond between humans and their pets has been an honor that I am truly grateful for. I believe that euthanasia in our pet’s homes is a peaceful, loving, and more comfortable way to help them pass, surrounded by the people they love. Family is so important and our pets make up such a special role in our lives.

What pet parents are saying

Dr. Orth was wonderful to come at such late notice to help my Lucy girl pass. This is my second time using Coda Pet in 7 months :( I am so grateful that they were both able to be at home, on my lap, in their favorite chair, at peace. Dr. Orth was also very helpful with the follow-up and picking up Lucy's ashes. Thank you, thank YOU!!

Dr Orth is always very kind and compassionate. This is the 3rd dog we have compassionately euthanized with her. She makes a very difficult situation as comfortable as it can be. We never felt rushed and she made time on her off day to help our fur baby cross the rainbow bridge.

Dr. Orth was wonderful. This is always such a heartbreaking day to have to decide the fate of your animal. I was emotional and crying the whole time, but it’s normal and okay to be sad. Dr. Orth made our girl calm and happy and I wouldn’t have done it any other way. Our girl was almost 17, she lived a wonderful life all the to the end. It really was a peaceful goodbye and I would highly recommend coda pet to anyone. Worth every penny.

Review by Dr. Mashawn Orth

While this one of the most difficult things we have ever done, Dr. Orth was kind, caring and compassionate during the process. She made sure we had plenty of time with our baby Sushi before and after the process. She was super respectful of every one of us as we grieved.

Recently, I had to say goodbye to my 4-legged daughter of 13 years, and it was a very difficult emotional choice I had to make. I didn’t want Mari's last moments to be in a cold, noisy vet’s office. I wanted something more peaceful for her, so after asking a friend for a recommendation, I found out about Codapet. I called Codapet around noon that day, and by 3 pm, Dr. Mashawn was at my home. She was incredibly genuine and gentle with my little girl, giving us all the time we needed to say our goodbyes. Dr. Mashawn took the time to explain everything to my family, ensuring we understood what was happening at each step. I also appreciated the text messages and follow-up emails she sent to offer support, especially as I was grieving. When Mari’s ashes were ready, I couldn’t leave work to pick them up, but Dr. Mashawn’s husband went above and beyond by delivering them to my office. Losing a furry family member is never easy, but if you find yourself in that situation, I highly recommend Codapet.
