PHILADELPHIA, PA — CodaPet has announced its launch in Philadelphia, providing in-home pet euthanasia services through a network of compassionate and licensed veterinarians. This service allows pets to spend their final moments in a familiar and comfortable environment.
Founders Bring Passion and Experience
CodaPet was co-founded by Dr. Gary Hsia, Dr. Bethany Hsia, and Dr. Karen Whala. They aim to increase awareness and access to in-home euthanasia by supporting a network of veterinarians committed to compassionate care.
Dr. Gary Hsia shared his personal experience, stating, “I hope that every family in Philadelphia becomes aware that in-home euthanasia is an option so they have an opportunity to provide a final gift of love to their beloved pet.” He recounted how his dog Kylie passed peacefully at home, reducing her anxiety and helping his children cope with the loss.
Local Service Areas
Dr. Jake Quin, who is originally from West Norriton, PA, is part of the CodaPet team. He received his Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from Ross University and has two dogs, JoJo and Kaya. Dr. Quin services Philadelphia and nearby areas, including West Chester, Norristown, and Pottstown, among others. He decided to offer in-home euthanasia to meet the growing demand for this service and to have better control over his schedule.
Benefits of In-Home Pet Euthanasia
- Compassion: Pets can be surrounded by loved ones in a familiar setting, providing a peaceful end-of-life experience.
- Comfort: Familiar surroundings reduce anxiety and stress for pets, and being with family offers support during a difficult time.
- Closure: Saying goodbye at home allows for a more intimate and meaningful farewell, aiding the grieving process.
- Control: Pet owners can customize the experience, choosing the time, place, and who will be present.
How It Works
Pet parents can book in-home euthanasia through CodaPet. A licensed veterinarian will contact the family before the appointment to answer any questions. During the visit, the veterinarian will review the pet’s health and ensure euthanasia is the right decision. The procedure takes about 45 minutes, giving family members time to say goodbye. Veterinarians can also assist with aftercare and cremation services if needed.
Costs
The cost for in-home euthanasia in Philadelphia starts at $400, with aftercare services beginning at $100 for communal cremation. Prices vary based on factors like travel distance and the pet’s size. The company also offers out-of-hours appointments for an additional fee.
CodaPet’s new service aims to provide a compassionate and dignified end-of-life option for pets and their families in Philadelphia.
