I highly recommend at home euthanasia, it was a very peaceful experience. Extremely thankful for the compassion that Dr Delia provided me during / after my two old girls crossed the rainbow bridge. She was even kind enough to send me a card.

Working as a veterinarian with Codapet isn’t just a job — it’s a calling rooted deeply in compassion, empathy, and a strong desire to ease both physical pain and emotional distress. Codapet’s mission to provide in-home pet euthanasia services offers a much-needed alternative for pet owners who want to say goodbye to their beloved animals in the comfort of home. Behind every appointment, every goodbye, and every story, there’s a vet making that experience possible with sensitivity, medical professionalism, and emotional strength. Building Comfort in the Most Difficult Moments For most Codapet vets, the biggest differentiator from traditional clinic practice is the environment in which they operate. Home visits allow pets to stay in a familiar space surrounded by the people who love them most. Vets quickly learn that every home is different — some are filled with quiet tears and soft goodbyes, while others are full of children asking questions or elderly owners who need extra time and reassurance. The vet walks into each situation knowing they’re not just there for a medical procedure; they’re a guide through one of the hardest decisions a pet parent can face. This means managing clinical needs, like dosing and sedation protocols, alongside the emotional dynamics of a grieving family. The combination of these elements requires a very specific skill set — one that goes beyond the typical veterinary toolbox. The Emotional Weight of the Role Many Codapet vets describe this work as both deeply fulfilling and emotionally intense. On one hand, they feel honored to be trusted during such a sacred moment. On the other, providing euthanasia services, sometimes multiple times in a day, can be emotionally exhausting. Burnout is a real concern in veterinary medicine overall, but especially in end-of-life care. However, Codapet vets often report a sense of peace in knowing they are helping both pets and families by providing a more compassionate alternative to clinic euthanasia. The ability to offer comfort — not just physical relief to the animal, but emotional support to the family — brings a level of meaning to the work that sustains many through the tough days. Some vets develop small personal rituals to help cope — lighting a candle after a visit, taking a walk, or writing in a journal. Others lean on the Codapet community of professionals who truly understand the highs and lows of the work. This sense of shared purpose, and the knowledge that their work really matters, is a powerful motivator. Scheduling, Autonomy, and Flexibility Another unique part of being a Codapet vet is the autonomy. Unlike traditional clinic settings that can feel rushed and rigid, Codapet vets have the freedom to set their own schedules, allowing for better work-life balance. This flexibility is especially important for those who are parents, have personal medical needs, or want to practice part-time. This autonomy also extends to how they manage visits. While Codapet provides protocols and support, vets are trusted to adapt to the specific needs of each case. They decide how to communicate with families, how much time to spend during each appointment, and how to create a peaceful environment. That said, with freedom comes responsibility. Codapet vets need to be self-disciplined, organized, and emotionally self-aware. They also need to be excellent communicators, capable of navigating complex emotional terrain while maintaining a sense of calm and confidence. The Impact of Aftercare Options One of the more practical aspects of the Codapet vet’s role involves understanding and offering aftercare options. Vets need to explain cremation choices, keepsakes (like paw prints or fur clippings), and sometimes assist with transportation of the pet if chosen. These steps, while technical in nature, are part of the grieving process for the family. Having a clear understanding of these options — and being able to present them in a gentle, respectful way — is critical. It’s also important that vets are equipped to answer questions and manage expectations. Codapet provides training, resources, and even vet community forums to ensure all team members feel supported in these logistical parts of the visit. Collaboration and Support Though Codapet vets often work independently, they are far from alone. A strong backend team supports them — from scheduling and logistics to customer service and technical troubleshooting. Vets also have access to a growing online community of peers through Codapet, where they can share experiences, ask clinical questions, and support one another. Vets frequently collaborate with local pet hospitals, crematories, and other Codapet professionals to ensure smooth coordination. This spirit of teamwork means a lot — especially when unexpected situations arise, like a pet passing before the vet arrives or families requesting urgent same-day appointments. Having a responsive operations team, local coordinators, and helpful tech tools (like the Codapet calendar or appointment dashboard) makes the process more efficient and reduces stress on the vet’s side. This smooth coordination allows vets to focus on what matters most — compassionate care. Continuous Learning and Growth Codapet vets aren’t static professionals; they are constantly evolving. Many choose to further their training in grief counseling, communication skills, or palliative care. Codapet encourages this growth by offering educational resources and periodically updating protocols based on the latest best practices in veterinary euthanasia. By working in such an emotionally nuanced field, vets also grow personally. They become more patient, empathetic, and resilient — qualities that serve them not just in their profession, but in their own lives and relationships. The Bigger Picture At its core, Codapet’s mission is about changing the way pet euthanasia is experienced — making it more humane, more peaceful, and more aligned with what pets and their families truly need. The vets are the beating heart of that mission. Without their expertise, compassion, and professionalism, the service wouldn’t exist. Each Codapet vet is helping reshape the standard of end-of-life care. They’re educating families about their options, empowering them to make informed choices, and offering a level of compassion that lingers long after the appointment ends. Final Thoughts Being a vet with Codapet is unlike any other veterinary role. It combines clinical skill with emotional intelligence, personal freedom with deep responsibility, and solo work with a strong sense of community. While the work is challenging, it is also profoundly rewarding. For many vets, Codapet has reignited their passion for veterinary medicine by reminding them why they entered the field in the first place: to care, to heal, and to be present when it matters most.

Dr. Marlene is one in a million. Our 15 year old Tibetan Terrier had Canine Cognitive Dysfunction. She came to our home and was calm , sympathetic , and professional . She has a way that makes a person feel ok in such a terrible situation. She did not rush us . She explained in detail how and what to expect during the process. She gave us as much time as we needed to spend our last minutes with “ Bentley “ . You could not find a Veterinarian better to help you through this horrible part of life. We will be forever grateful to her .

Dr Gary was very responsive, yet respectful during this challenging time when Finn required euthanasia. This was our second time in a couple years we have gone this route to prevent suffering and Dr Gary was able to explain everything and take of everything so we could just focus on make Finn comfortable as possible.♥️
