Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

I became a veterinarian due to my love of animals, science and medicine. I work in a busy, private practice specialty hospital and function as Department Head of the Critical Care unit. My current job includes both hospice care and euthanasia, and now I strive to provide this service to pets and families in their home.

What pet parents are saying

Dr. Walton and her assistant Morgan were the most compassionate, respectful, and sympathetic professionals when it came to putting my dog down. They both intuitively knew what to say, what to do, and I appreciated their gentle presence, kindness, and communication beyond words. This was my first time having to part ways with a pet, and it was one of the worst experiences of my life. However, even in my profound grief, there was a moment during the process I thought of how beautifully tragic this was. If it has to happen, this is the most peaceful and poetic way to do it. Zoey took her last breath just how she wanted - in my arms, surrounded by the people and things she loved most, in the comfort of her own home. Dr. Walton and Morgan, I hope to never see you for your services again… but if I or someone else does, I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you for making an extremely difficult process a little easier

Dr. Becca and her assistant were warm and professional, providing comfort during one of the hardest days I've had in a long time. They were communicative, thoughtful, kind and helped my dog transition in a peaceful, loving manner. Cannot thank them enough.

Dr. Becca and her assistant Morgan were so kind and professional. This was the 1st time we helped a pet cross the rainbow so we didn't know what to expect but really needed to help our dog ease his way. Dr. Becca explained the process in a kind and gentle manner, it helped to feel their experienced knowledge. They addressed our dog in a personal manner and noted his cute special features, it was like talking to another pet owner. We were able to share anecdotes of our dog which made it feel like we were celebrating his beautiful life. They gave us plenty of private time to be with him before he was eased through the process. I felt like our dog was in the best hands when Dr. Becca swaddled our dog in a blanket and carried him away for cremation. After a beautiful life with us, Dr. Becca & Morgan's kindness and experience helped our 15+ yr. old dog Jimmy's life come in full circle. They came back in a week with the beautiful urn we chose with Jimmy's name engraved on it, and the paw print that was unexpectedly meaningful to me. They were so kind to bring flowers to honor Jimmy and saved us locks of his fur that I requested, after forgetting to clip some myself. I highly recommend Dr. Becca and Morgan to anyone in this difficult time. I am so grateful and feel at ease for how Jimmy crossed his rainbow. Thank You.

Rebecca was amazing to work with, we really appreciate her care and understanding of the hard times we were going through. She was professional and at the same time compassionate, both my partner and I are so happy for her services. Also she went above and beyond to send us a little card which we thought it was super thoughtful of her. We really are truly thankful for all she did for us.

Best dog, best friend - my fluff of life. Saying goodbye was one of the hardest things I have ever done. My heart still aches as I see my baby in the shadows. Dr. Rebecca Walton was wonderful. She made sure Cody was comfortable using a sedative. She put him to sleep while I held him. And when I was ready, she helped me to let him go. She was kind, supportive and compassionate. And while I never want to see her again, if I ever need to do this again I will be searching for her. Coda Pet provided a wonderful service. Being at home for our last goodbye with a compassionate doctor and assistant meant everything. Thank you.

Dr. Walton and her assistant were very compassionate and patient. The whole in home euthanasia process was explained at the beginning and my Layla was put to rest in the most humane way possible. Thank you.
