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
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 ⭐️
This was the first time I've ever had to euthanize a beloved pet and Dr Nicolette was very caring and explained the whole process. She was very patient and respectful and had a calming demeanor. She helped ease our sweet Ace's pain as we helped him cross the rainbow bridge... I am grateful for this type of service she has chosen. I don't know how she does it, but she is an angel for it. Thank you Dr Nicolette. Ace was able to pass peacefully in his own home surrounded by his loved ones.
We cannot thank Dr. Nicolette Michelli enough for the compassion, kindness, and grace she showed our family during one of the hardest moments of our lives. From the moment she arrived, her calm presence and genuine empathy brought us comfort during an incredibly emotional time. Choosing in-home euthanasia allowed our beloved pet to remain in a familiar, peaceful environment, surrounded by love, and Dr. Michelli handled every step with such tenderness and respect. She took the time to explain the process, never rushed us, and treated our pet with the dignity they deserved. It was clear how deeply she cares—not just about animals, but about the families who love them. This is not an easy role, and it takes a truly special person to provide this kind of care with so much compassion. We will forever be grateful to Dr. Michelli for helping our sweet companion pass so peacefully and for giving us a moment of calm and closure during such a heartbreaking goodbye. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone facing this difficult decision.
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.
I couldn’t have found a better person than Dr. Michelli from CodaPet to bring our baby her forever nap. This was the first time ever having to do this and she told us everything to be expected and was so kind and compassionate to us and Sable. Thank you Dr. Michelle and CodaPet for bringing our doggie peace and making this difficult task just a little bit easier. I’m so glad we decided to have this done at home in her safe place rather than then at the veterinary office where she typically has anxiety.
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.
