Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
When I was in high school, I was required to perform mandatory service hours. I started volunteering at a local stable and took care of all the horses, led trail rides, farm tours, etc. I decided I wanted to be able to give back to these animals that help us every day. I majored in Animal Sciences while in undergrad and then worked as a small animal surgery and anesthesia technician while awaiting my vet school acceptance. Originally, I went to veterinary school to specialize in equine sports medicine and radiology and I even completed an equine internship post-graduation. However, while I will still continue to work on horses, I would like to be able to give back to the community. Six months before starting vet school, I had to put down my beloved family rescue dog that I had for 10 years. She was terrified of everyone besides my mom and I, and she hated being in a vet office. Having to put her to sleep in a strange room surrounded by strange people was horrible. I would like to offer my services in order to help your furry friend cross the rainbow bridge in their own safe space, surrounded by the people they love.

What pet parents are saying
Dr. Michelli was so compassionate during this very difficult time. She made this experience so special and explained everything in detail. She gave us time to grieve with our boy and I’m so grateful that she was the one to take my baby over the rainbow bridge.
Dr. Michelli was the most caring person during this difficult time. She loved on our pups, listened to all of our stories about her through the process and cried with us. It made the event easier to process through our grief. She is an amazing person to do what she does.
This was a new experience for me. I’ve had pets pass, but it was always done at my local animal hospital. This time, for my soul cat (you know, that one animal that enters your life and they become so deeply attached to you, and you to them) I wanted him to pass at home in my arms. Dr. Michelli was amazing. She is so calm, caring, and understanding. She gave me all the time I needed in between steps to say goodbye and love on my boy. He went to sleep in my arms as I wanted (and as I needed). This was what my boy deserved, and I glad I chose Codapet vs going into a vet. I highly recommend Codapet and Dr Michelli . I give her 10 out of 5 stars. Thank you Dr Michelli ⭐️
Dr. Michelli was amazing. Euthanasia is a difficult choice to make, and thanks to Dr. Michelli, Domino was comfortable and surrounded with loved as he went to sleep.
Dr Michelli made the whole process of taking care of my 22 YO kitty “Bunny”. As peaceful as possible. She came out at just the right time to keep my baby comfortable, as she passed over the rainbow 🌈 bridge.
I’m grateful Dr Michelli was an able to accommodate us on such short notice so that our old boy could has a peaceful passing at home. Dr Michelli was so caring and comforting during this hard time. Thank you again.
