Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

I believe precious memories with your pet should never be overshadowed by a stressful goodbye. I have firsthand experience with the stress of saying goodbye to my first dog, Willy, at the clinic, and since then being able to say goodbye to two other dogs at home. This is why a peaceful passing at home is so important to me.

Dr. Gary is very caring and he understands the hurt we're going through. He was so gentle and sweet to our Louie and Mya. Just a truly caring Dr.

Review by Dr. Gary Hsia

Dr. Gary Hsia was truly amazing! I had to make the heartbreaking decision to let my Milo go. Making that decision was one of the hardest things I had to do. I knew that I wanted her to make her journey over the rainbow bridge here at home. Dr. Gary was patient and very empathetic to what our family was going through. He explained every step of the process and let us take as much time as we needed to say our final goodbyes. I would recommend him to everyone. I would give him 10 stars if I could. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Dr. Hsia was very kind and helpful on this day. Although he didn’t euthanize our pet, he certainly had everyone’s best interests in mind.

Review by Dr. Gary Hsia

I've had many many pets in my lifetime. This is the first time I experienced saying goodbye in the comfort of my home. I would never choose to do it any other way again. Dr. Hsia is compassionate, kind and highly professional. My little girl Lottie lived a long life at 17+ yrs of age. I absolutely love my personal Vet, but I didn't want Lottie's last hours to be a car drive across town and waiting in a busy office to be seen. I am grateful for CodaPet and Dr. Hsia.
