Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
I became a veterinarian because I believe it is our responsibility as humans to care for animals who don't have a voice or much of a choice in their lives. Whether it's a wild animal, a farm animal, or a pet, we humans impact their environment and what happens to them. My mission is to make every animal I care for feel loved and safe in any situation. Throughout my career, I have had to euthanize many animals, which is never an easy thing to do. During this difficult task, I have developed a way to focus all my love and attention on the life of the animal, not the euthanasia. So that in this challenging situation, the animal feels safe and loved during this peaceful passing, and the owners feel at peace with the decision that has been made.

What pet parents are saying
I would recommend Dr. Mitchell and CodaPet to every single pet parent. Having the option for professional care at home is priceless. While letting any pet go is one of the saddest and hardest decisions, it was an easy decision to use CodaPet so my cat could stay at home in her safe space and in my arms until the very end. Dr. Mitchell was so very gentle and sweet to my cat and comforting to me as well during such a difficult time. Highly highly recommend.
Dr. Mitchell was compassionate and professional. She guided us through the process of helping our dog cross the rainbow bridge. Our dog, Oreo, lived to be 17 years old.

Cara was amazing! She was compassionate, gentle . loving and we didnt feel rushed during this experience! We felt so blessed to have her as part of this experience- even though it was sad, her calm assurance made us feel that this was the right decision. We were so thankful that we found such a loving individual to help us usher Ranger to his peaceful resting place.
Dr. Cara was very compassionate & professional. I had never experienced having a pet euthanized . After Dr. Cara talked to us & explained the procedure, I knew I had made the right decision. It was actually a relief when my Bama went to sleep & was no longer in pain or suffering . Thank you for being there for us in a very difficult time .
