Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
From a young age I have always felt a strong connection with animals. As I progressed in school, I was fascinated and excelled in biology and science, so choosing a career in veterinary medicine was a natural choice. I believe that every animal deserves compassionate care and I strive to provide the highest standard of care to all of my patients. After years of providing emergency care for pets in Memphis, I chose to extend my practice to include in-home euthanasia. Recognizing the emotional and sensitive nature of end-of-life decisions for pets, I wanted to offer a more comfortable and familiar environment for both the animals and their owners during this difficult time. By providing in-home euthanasia, I aim to create a peaceful and compassionate atmosphere, allowing pets to be surrounded by their loved ones in the comfort of their own homes. I believe that this personalized approach not only helps ease the emotional burden for pet owners but also ensures a more peaceful transition for the pet, allowing them to say goodbye in a calm and familiar setting.

What pet parents are saying
Dr. Mays was incredibly kind and sensitive throughout the entire experience. As heartbreaking as the process was, Dr. Mays made it so our cat was comfortable throughout and we were able to grieve in the privacy of our home. I cannot recommend this service or Dr. Mays enough.
Dr. Mays is such a kind & caring person. She was so kind & gentle with our Bella. We are so grateful to her. Bella was sent over the rainbow bridge surrounded by love.
Dr Mays was incredibly professional and helpful during what was an excruciatingly difficult time for us. I would recommend her with highest regards.
This service went above and beyond my expectations. From the ease of the online booking to the exceptional care my pet and I received. Dr. Mays was amazing, very caring, educational and empathetic in the most difficult time. I have no doubts I made the right decision about using this service vs taking to the vet. Additionally, the box for the ashes, the clay paw print and the imprints Dr. Mays did were perfect.
Would greatly recommend Dr Mays for anyone with the unfortunate need of letting their pet go. Allowing our dog to remain in the comfort of our home without adding the stress and anxiety of a trip to the vets office was a true blessing. And Dr Mays was very compassionate and professional in each step of the process.
Dr. Susannah Mays was heaven sent as she provided gentle, peaceful, compassionate, in-home euthanasia to our beloved dog, Abby. Our local vet supported Abby in having a good long life, but when we knew it was time to let her go, we wanted a peaceful, calm and loving exit for both Abby and our family. After much research and prayer, we decided on CodaPet. Abby was able to lay on my chest, peacefully sleeping, while Dr. Mays carefully and professionally put her to sleep. I wish I had known about in-home compassionate euthanasia with all our other dogs. It truly was a blessing to all of us to have found Dr. Mays. No fear or anxiety for Abby, and a calm, gentle end for us. It was technologically easy to schedule through the CodaPet website. Dr. Mays contacted me right away and offered comforting and encouraging words as she knew how difficult it would be to say goodbye to our beloved pet. Dr. Mays kept in touch and on the scheduled day, she arrived promptly and gently inquired about our life with Abby. Overall, Dr. Mays made one of the worst days a treasured memory knowing that Abby went out on her own terms. No words can express our gratitude.
