CodaPet launches compassionate in-home pet euthanasia services in Roanoke, VA

The veterinarian-owned startup empowers a network of veterinarians who provide in-home euthanasia to ease the passing of pets at home, surrounded by loved ones.

ROANOKE, VA, UNITED STATES, December 4, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- CodaPet proudly announces its launch in Roanoke, VA. The company provides peaceful in-home pet euthanasia through a network of compassionate and licensed veterinarians who offer end-of-life care for pets at home. In-home pet euthanasia is the best experience for dogs and cats and their families because their home is where they feel most familiar and comfortable. Dr. Rebecca Houck will be servicing Roanoke and surrounding areas.

“As an in-home euthanasia veterinarian, I repeatedly hear the heartfelt gratitude and the relief a family feels when they have been able to grant their pet this gift,” says Dr. Karen Whala, a co-founder of CodaPet. “It is my wish that every family in Roanoke become aware of at-home pet euthanasia so they may provide a peaceful and compassionate end-of-life experience for their beloved pets when their time comes.”

Dr. Bethany Hsia, Dr. Karen Whala, and Dr. Gary Hsia are co-founders and veterinarians of CodaPet. They share a passion for increasing both customer access and awareness by empowering a network of veterinarians who provide compassion and professional care to more pets and their families in a familiar environment.

“I decided to offer in-home euthanasia because I saw a lack in the community. Pet parents deserve to have their pets pass in the comfort and peace of their own home at a time that best suits the family's needs," says Dr. Rebecca Houck. Dr. Houck is honored to provide compassionate, in-home euthanasia services, offering pets a peaceful passing surrounded by the comfort of their home and loved ones. Inspired by a childhood experience with her family’s Labrador, she knew from an early age that she wanted to dedicate her life to helping animals. After earning her DVM from Louisiana State University in 2007, she built her career in companion animal medicine, focusing on dermatology, behavior, and end-of-life care.

Dr. Houck believes that giving pets a calm, familiar environment for their final moments is one of the most meaningful gifts we can offer. She is committed to supporting families through this tender time, ensuring their beloved companions transition with dignity and love.

Dr.Houck services Roanoke, Cloverdale, Vinton, Daleville, Hardy, Goodview, Villamont, Blue Ridge, Troutville, Salem, Boones Mill, Thaxton, and the surrounding cities.

Benefits of In-home Pet Euthanasia include:

1. Compassion: In-home pet euthanasia allows for a more compassionate approach to end-of-life care. Pets can be surrounded by their loved ones, receive individual attention and care, and pass away peacefully in a familiar environment.

2. Comfort: One of the most significant benefits of in-home pet euthanasia is the comfort it provides to both the pet and their owners. The familiar surroundings of home can help reduce anxiety and stress for pets, making the process more peaceful. Additionally, being surrounded by loved ones can provide a sense of comfort and support during a difficult time.

3. Closure: Being able to say goodbye in a meaningful way can be an essential part of the grieving process. In-home pet euthanasia allows for a more intimate farewell, which can provide closure and help with the healing process.

4. Control: In-home pet euthanasia also allows pet owners to have more control over the process. They can choose the time and place of the euthanasia, as well as who will be present. This can help alleviate feelings of powerlessness and allow for a more personalized experience. In addition, in-home euthanasia allows owners to personalize the experience, including choosing the location, music, lighting, and other factors that can make the experience more meaningful.

How In-home Pet Euthanasia Works

Through CodaPet, pet parents can easily book in-home pet euthanasia performed by a compassionate and licensed veterinarian. Prior to the appointment, the veterinarian contacts the family to address any questions or concerns they might have. At the appointment, the veterinarian assists the family by going over the diagnosis and applying a quality-of-life assessment to objectively assess the pet's health and ensure there is no uncertainty about the need for euthanasia.

The visit takes, on average, 45 minutes. Pet parents have a window of time to be with their pets privately before and after the euthanasia procedure. The veterinarian only starts the euthanasia process when everyone is ready. This helps bring closure to all family members involved in the end-of-life care of a pet. For those who need support with aftercare, the veterinarian can assist with transportation and cremation services.

In-home Pet Euthanasia Costs

The starting price of in-home euthanasia starts at $300 in Roanoke. The aftercare and cremation price begins at $55 and varies depending on factors such as the driving distance, the pet's size, and the option for private or communal cremation.
