Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
I offer in-home pet euthanasia to give pets and their families a gentle, peaceful experience in the comfort of their own surroundings. This approach allows pets to remain relaxed in a familiar space, while giving family members privacy and time to say goodbye with dignity and compassion. My goal is to make this challenging time as supportive and respectful as possible.

What pet parents are saying
Dr. Hsia helped me through this devastating experience, and while guiding my Lola Kitty on to her next journey with compassion and gentle care. I feel so fortunate that this was able to occur in my home.
Words can not express how grateful we are for Dr Gary, and CodaPet. No one wants to have to make the decision to put their beloved pet to sleep, but Dr. Gary turned a dreadful situation into a peaceful one. He was kind, respectful, and compassionate the entire time. Our Stella was already suffering from lymphoma, and the last thing we wanted to do was drag her to the vet. Instead, she was able to pass peacefully, in her own home, surrounded by her family that loves her. I had no idea that in home pet euthanasia even existed, we just happened to come across it, and I’m so thankful we did. From now on, in home pet euthanasia will be the road we take in this situation, and Dr. Gary and CodaPet will always have our recommendation.
Very kind, knowledgeable and made this transition for our sweet girl as easy as possible. She felt loved by all including the Dr. And passed peacefully in her own bed. We are so thankful for the easy passage over the rainbow bridge.
The service provided is one that every pet owner should consider when that time comes. Dr Hsia gave compassionate and personal care to my dog in the quiet privacy of our home. To end the life of our dog whom we considered a member of our family, painlessly in our arms was the best we could do for our lil girl. Thanks to Dr Hsia and Codapet for helping us in such a timely manner.
Shin Jin was treated with so much compassion and care that it provided me the comfort I needed during this very difficult loss of my loving sweetheart Shin Jin. 💔🙏🏽 Truly appreciate having an amazing Vet.
Dr. Gary Hsia showed care, patience, sympathy, compassion, and support, in his life care for our beloved 14yr old chow-chow. We are beyond appreciative of Dr. Gary Hsia’ efforts & highly recommend Dr. Gary Hsia for your difficult decisions regarding your pet family member.
Dr. Gary was the best! He was very kind and gentle and didn’t rush anything. We greatly appreciate him and would definitely recommend him.
I can’t thank Dr. Gary enough for making Barkley’s last moments at home so peaceful. As difficult as this moment was, I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. His sincere kindness, compassion and patience thru this process was truly appreciated! Thank you again for making this possible.❤️
Dr Gary was the KINDEST person to help our precious dog pass comfortably and peacefully in our home. We are SO VERY GRATEFUL for his service to animals in need.
Dr. Gary made this hard time much more bearable. We were so thankful that our precious girl Lucy was able to have a peaceful passing in her home where she was surrounded by all her loved ones. Dr. Gary was patient and empathetic to what we were going through and made the process as easy as possible. He was respectful and considerate of all our wishes. I would 100% recommend him to anyone having to go through this.
Although a sad choice the dr. Was absolutely wonderful. He was so kind and patient when we were talking about our Sophie. I would absolutely refer him/ Coda Pet if or when someone needs an understanding patient Dr. Thank you again, Pete and Melinda T
We were saying good buy to our dog. She had been a daily part of out lives for 15 years. Needless to say there were a lot of tears and emotions involved. The Dr could not have handled the situation any better. He explained step by step what was going to happen. Then gave is the time to say what we needed to say both before and after. At no point were we rushed. She went so peacefully. She was the last of 3 dogs we had from young to old. The previous 2 we had euthanized in a clinic setting. And even though i was literally holding them they were still stressed when the time came. She didn't have to feel that at the end. The Dr from coda pet couldn’t have done a better job.
This was such a difficult day. Words can not express how grateful we are to Dr. Gary Hsia. His gentle, kind, compassionate demeanor was so appreciated. He was able to make this experience comforting knowing that Axel would be less stressed. I highly recommend Coda Pet to anyone who finds themselves in this sad situation. Thank you Dr. Gary. ❤️🐾
Dr. Gary was so very kind and compassionate. We got to be with our cat, Daisy, in one of her favorite spots of our home. Dr. Gary gave took us through the process, then gave us the time we needed with Daisy before he administered the sedative, then again before he administered the final shot, and after. We got to cuddle with her the whole time. He took Daisy's body away and his wife returned with her ashes. The company that they work with included two river rocks with Daisy's name on them that were with her when she was cremated and are a perfect size to hold in your hand. We also got the keepsake of Daisy's paw in clay, which was very nicely done, however we wouldn't get that again as it doesn't look like her paw to us (due to the nature of how much bigger a paw looks when pressed into clay). We liked the inked paw prints on a card that Daisy and I made together the day before. We very much appreciate how patient, kind, and compassionate Dr. Gary was and that this service was available for our beloved cat.
I am extremely appreciative of Dr Gary Hsia’s professionalism and compassion—Bentley did not seem anxious at any point (as he usually is at any vet’s office), and I value the extra time I had to see him relaxed in his own environment.
From the very beginning dr. Gary was very sympathetic and showed us that he really cared. It was so hard having to make that decision to have our girl put down and he gave us all the time in the world and made us feel better about the whole process. He took the time to send us a card as well after and it really made us feel better.
Dr. Hsia, he was very patient with us during this difficult time, he truly cares about your loved fur babies. His compassion and kindness through the process made us feel comfortable that we made the right decision to go with Codapet. He followed up on us and delivered our Foxy with care and compassion truly appreciated him for all he did to make our Foxy comfortable during her last minutes with us.
We would like to thank Dr. Hsia with this difficult task to ease our precious pup to cross over. We appreciate your grace and compassion in what you do on a daily basis. Thank you, The Franger's.
Dr. Hsia was very generous with his time and took the time to carefully explain the process and did not rush our goodbye with our pet. He was compassionate and caring. He treated our girl as if she were his own pet.
This was the hardest thing to go through, Dr.Gary and Dr.Betthany were absolutely amazing and warm. Took the time with us to let our Big Boy pass into the biggest park in the world, very compassionate and loving as if it was their own pet. Our Great Dane was such a large part of our lives for 11.5 years and they helped us immortalize him and his presence. Helping us through this process was amazing!
Dr. Gary was so compassionate. He was so kind to our dog and to my husband and I. I highly recommend them to anyone needing to send their fur babies over the rainbow. 🌈
The vet was incredibly compassionate and patient. They made an unbearably hard day peaceful and full of love. I’ll always be grateful for their kindness and care.
I could not have asked for a more professional, caring and compassionate person. I was so afraid of being rushed with my final goodbye to the love of my life. That did not happen at all. Kilo and I were the priority. I will be forever grateful for how Dr Gary treated us both. I can’t thank him enough.
Saying goodbye at home was so much easier and more peaceful for my Duke. The vet was very respectful and kind throughout the process. Thank you for making Duke's final moments stress-free.
I just wants to say thank you . It was so bad to say buy to our dog . The doctor make it in to something peaceful and we let her rest . Thank you
Dr. Hsia’s compassion and bed side manner exceeded all expectations. This was an extremely difficult time, but our baby fell soft asleep in my arms, looking into our eyes, and then when we were ready to say our final good bye, within 1 minute or two, she lay to final rest in my arms. This is what I’ve prayed for to have at the end, and God gave us the connection with Dr. Hsia that day to prevent our baby from suffering from the cancer.
The vet was incredibly compassionate and patient. They made an unbearably hard day peaceful and full of love. I’ll always be grateful for their kindness and care.
Dr Hsia was very kind and accommodated our needs in a very tough situation. We were not only losing a pet but had just had a death in the family 2 days prior. He was respectful and very helpful. We truly appreciated his kindness.
The whole experience was very comforting for me and my pet. I have been through this many times over the years, and at-home euthanasia is by far the best way to go. These folks are the best.
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.♥️
Dr Gary was so gentle and loving with my little dog. He alleviated a lot of anxiety and fear, answered all my questions and was so kind and patient. My little fur baby was calm, relaxed and at peace. Thank you Dr Gary
We had to put our almost 13 year old Boxer down recently. We had Dr. Gary come out to our house to make it as easy on Buster as we could. Dr. Gary was very kind and compassionate. He explained the process and did not rush it. I would highly recommend him. It made the process as easy as it could be.
Gary was very compassionate, respectful and gentle with our cat Gina. He helped us with the peaceful passing of Gina. We are thankful for him.
What a peaceful and honoring experience for our beloved family member. Zoey Marie brought us joy for sixteen years, touching many who have come through our doors. It was the best decision we could have made.
Dr. Gary was so kind and patient with us. Having To let go of our 18 year old baby girl was hard, but the process was very peaceful. Thank you Dr. Gary.
It is always difficult to say your final goodbye to your Fur Baby. Having CodaPet send a Vet to our home to assist in the peaceful passing of our precious baby made the painful experience of our loss comforting. The Vet was very compassionate, thoughtful and kind with my fur baby and my family including my other dog during the entire process. My Fur Baby was very comfortable throughout the entire process and just peacefully went to sleep while cuddled up next to me. After his passing, we were given private alone time to say our final good byes. He then was gently wrapped in a blanket and placed into basket and taken away for cremation. I felt comforted knowing that he was no longer in pain and passed so peacefully. My family felt so blessed to have a compassionate service come to our home so we could say our final goodbyes in privacy. I will always be thankful for CodaPet.
Dr. Gary was compassionate and understanding. He explained the process and gave us time with Maximus before and after his passing. I am grateful for being able to do this at home where my Max was most comfortable. Thank you Dr. Gary
Dr. Gary was kind, thoughtful, and patient. He was so gentle with our fragile senior dog, and really thought of everything to accommodate him and us. We are so grateful for Dr. Gary and CodaPet for going above and beyond during one of the most difficult times we’ve ever experienced.
Dr. Hsia was so compassionate and caring to our family during the loss of our beloved dog Grace. It was such a difficult experience but he helped us through it and was patient and kind
Dr Laurie Noe is gentle ,kind and loyal to put Holly to sleep. She held me when i cried 😢. I was so. impressed with the she took Holly with her. I just said goodbye Holly. We will meet in heaven someday soon.
I am crying as I write this, mostly sadness but joy at the same time because I'm reunited with my best friend ❤️🐾 Bella live a very long happy life of 17 years. Towards the end it was a very difficult decision, as it should be but I believe i believe it was for the best and boy did we get some good times in. Dr. Gary Hsia was amazing from when the decision had to be made to him reuniting us together. He was so very compassionate and noligable on Bella's needs and I can not tell you enough sincere . He let me be with her and gave space to grieve with her. It was a true blessing to be with my baby girl at the end in a comfortable environment. I didn't know this type of way was possible and I'm so glad we found Dr. Hsia . Me and Bella appreciate you very much! With love, and again thank you so much Gary and Bethany ! ❤️🐾
Dr. Gary was extremely compassionate and gentle. He explained everything to us and gave us the time we needed to process the information and make decisions that we were comfortable with.
The experience was extremely smooth. Dr Hsia made the process as easy as he could considering the circumstances. We opted for retrieving our buddy back cremated and he came back in a very nice wooden box. I highly recommend utilizing this process while you make the tough decision of losing your pet.
Dr Gary was amazing during a very sad time for us. He was compassionate and caring. He gave us as much time as we needed to say goodbye to our Sniper. I would highly recommend using Dr Gary if you are having to say goodbye to your pet.
Dr. Gary was amazing, he was so kind and gentle with our sweet Gracie. We honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience at such a difficult time. 100% recommend Dr. Gary and his wife.
Dr. Gary was incredibly professional and kind. The manner that he approached this work with was nothing short of loving. He provided reassurance throughout the process, while treating our animal with love, care, attention, affection, and respect. If you ever have to go through this with your pet, I would recommend Dr. Hsia.
This was our second experience with codapet. We were lucky to have Dr. Hsia with us for the passing of 2 of out beloved fur babies. Dr. Hsia was kind, compassionate, and very patient. He had so much respect for our family and pet even after she had passed on. Losing a pet is absolutely devastating but giving our beloved dog the honor of crossing over in the comfort of her own home helped bring us peace. I highly recommend Dr. Hsia and codapet.
We had to make that difficult decision to put our little fur baby (Kolby) to rest. She had been bravely battling liver disease. We got a brochure for Codapet from our vet's office and we are so glad to have found this service. The scheduling of the appointment was very easy. We made the appt online, paid for it and received a text and email confirmation. Dr Hsia texted me himself with a confirmation and again right before he was to arrive to our home. He was so kind and very gentle with Kolby. He made her passing a little easier to deal with and Kolby did not have to endure a trip to the vet's office and the nervousness that comes with such a visit. She was comfortable on her blanket surrounded by us and her "brother". We never felt rushed. Dr Hsia gave us as much time as we needed with her. We highly recommend this service.
It was very hard to let go, but DR Gary was great and very understanding and took care not or our Tango with love and compassion. We love you Tango and thank you for all the amazing unconditional love and memories.
Dr Gary was very personable, compassionate, and professional. He genuinely cared about our needs with our sweet Molly and carried them out with the utmost care.
Dr. Hsia was so kind, caring and gentle with me and my sweet cat Ginger, I miss her so much and it was so hard to know if it really was time but Dr.Hsia made the whole experience so beautiful I feel I made the right decision, it is truly a ministry that Dr.Hsia and all of you do. I am sharing the experience with so many friends. God bless you all. Sincerely, Janice
Dr Gary was kind, friendly, thoughtful, skilled, and compassionate. He took time with us and our fur baby. He explained everything and waited until we were ready. He did a great job and left us with reassuring words.
From the very first call to Codapet I could not believe how professional these people are. They walked me and my wife through every step of the process and gave us the support and confidence we were doing the best for our family companion Jade. Dr. Gary was very caring and we felt that he treated Jade as if she was his own. Dr. Gary was scheduled to be at our home at 5pm. He also called about 4 hrs earlier to see if Jade was in a lot of pain as he offered a sooner appointment if we wanted it. He was right on time and did not rush the process or act like he had other places to be. Along with Jade, Codapet and Dr. Gary, you will always be remembered in our home and hearts. Thankyou.
Dr Hsia was amazing. Our fur baby passed away just prior to the scheduled euthanasia appointment and Dr Hsia was able to accommodate with aftercare arrangements. We greatly appreciate the work that you do. Thank you!
Dr. Hsia was excellent in the delicate service rendered.... his compassion, explanation, sincerity, comforted us in this difficult time. Thank you to Dr. Hsia.
Dr. Gary was so incredibly compassionate. So patient with our family. Explained everything and gave us the time we needed. I had always known when the time came I wanted it done at home where Oso was most comfortable. We were able to do it in the backyard on the grass where he wanted to be. This service to me is priceless. I was able to book appointment same day first thing in the morning when his condition made a turn for the worse. Thank you so much for your kindness and availability. Can’t wait to have our baby back home. I know he’s in goodwill hands.
Dr. Gary H was highly knowledgeable about Sam's condition and assured me I was doing the right thing. I will ALWAYS use your services in the future. I felt good knowing he left so peacefully
Dr. Gary was very kind and walked us through the entire process. He made sure that Lily was comfortable up until her passing and made the entire experience very peaceful and provided comfort during a very difficult time.
It was a really nice experience and the vet was very professional and caring. He helped make the process much more comfortable for not just our family, but for our pet as well.
He was very compassionate :) This was the first time I have ever done this and felt so guilty. But he explained every thing that he was going to do and that helped a lot. Still miss Toby but I know he is no longer in pain.
i cannot say enough positive about my experience...making the decision was difficult but once i did, dr gary made the rest easy for me, perfect for my family and most of all for feeny...i received so many positive words and helpful quotes about grief from dr gary...i have already told the story and recommended dr gary and codapet to so many friends...a heartfelt thank you for your home service and your compassion...
Dr. Gary is patient, kind, professional and caring. I wish I knew about these home services or had access in the past. It may be more expensive, but for us, not putting our dog through the anxiety of going to the vet office and waiting long hours, especially during these times, was worth it’s weight in gold. I work with dogs for a living and I cannot say enough about this company, how they handle things, their response time, accessibility etc. Thank you for your services.
We will never say goodbye to a furry family member any other way again. No long car ride, no office staff giggling in the break room on the other side of the exam room wall. Thank you for a beautiful farewell to our sweet cat Harry. It was perfect.
I'd like to thank Dr. Hsia for providing our family with an exceptionally kind and caring service that allowed Buddy to transition peacefully, in his home, in the arms of his loved ones.
Dr. Gary was very kind and patient. He explained the euthanasia procedure to us and gave us the time we needed to say goodbye to our loved Golden Retriever named Boston. He helped make this difficult time for us a bit easier. I highly recommend him.
I couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful passing for my Charlie. He deserved the absolute best, and he got the absolute best with the help of Dr. Gary. My husband was pretty amazing too. He knew how special my Charlie was and supported my wanting him to pass at home in my arms. Dr. Gary’s love and compassion for what he does definitely showed! Thank Dr. Gary for making this decision much easier by reassuring us that we were doing the best thing for Charlie as he was very sick! If this is something that you’re considering, I promise you, it truly is a wonderful gift. Rest easy my sweet boy! Mommy loves and miss you so much. ~ Kimberly Bretz
The vet was incredibly compassionate and patient. They made an unbearably hard day peaceful and full of love. I’ll always be grateful for their kindness and care.
I'm very grateful for the kindness and compassion Dr. Hsia showed us during such a difficult time. He was patient and thoughtful with my husband and I and gentle with our Diesel.
Dr. Gaery was very helpful and supportive in this stressful event. He allowed me to spend my last moments with Jet in a very compassionate good by.
Dr. Gary made the process as comforting as possible for my mother and her beloved, Bebe. My mom felt very much at peace after the process and will make her mourning so much easier for her. We both thank Dr. Gary very much.
Dr Hsia was so kind and compassionate. He made sure we did not have any questions, and he made us feel comfortable. Dr Hsia took his time and did not rush us. We were able to say our goodbyes in the comfort of our home and our dog was made as comfortable as can be. We are very grateful for the service and care we received.
Dr Gary offered comfort, professionalism, and expertise at a time of sadness. He understands how people love their pets and how the process of ending their suffering is heartbreaking.
Dr Gary Hsai was very compassionate, sympathetic and empathic. His bedside manner was phenomenal and made everyone comfortable during this difficult process. While I don’t wish anyone to have to go through this, he made it as least unpleasant as it could be for our pet of 15.5 years. Thank you very much Dr. Gary!
This experience is very sad but Dr Gary was very professional and caring. I think all loving pet parents should use this service. It was very peaceful
I was impressed with the ease and flexibility of scheduling and more importantly, the kindness during that difficult time. Thank you Dr Gary
