Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
As a veterinarian, my passion for animal, and compassion for both pets and their families led me to pursue a career in veterinary medicine since I was little. My desire to provide the utmost comfort and support during difficult times prompted me to specialize in in-home euthanasia services. By offering this compassionate and personalized approach, I want to ensure that pets and their owners receive the care and safety they deserve during their final moments together.

What pet parents are saying
Dr Murray was incredibly kind and compassionate. He was very patient and understanding with what we were feeling and he asked us about our little guy’s favorite things. He explained everything and was very gentle with my sweet boy. He was able to pass peacefully at home with his family rather than at a vet office which he never liked. Thank you Coda Pet and Dr Murray.
Our dog went downhill fast and passed away before our appointment. Dr. Murray was very understanding, responsive, compassionate, and flexible during one of the most traumatic things we’ve ever gone through. We cannot thank him enough for simply being there for us as we navigated our dog’s death and the process that comes after.
Dr.Murray was amazing. He was compassionate and took his time with us to make the difficult situation more bearable. He was kind and put us all at ease through the process.
When I realized I would have to put my sweet kitty, Cheryl to sleep I knew I wanted it to be at home where she felt safe and comfortable. In home pet euthanasia as an option meant everything to me. Dr. Murray was extremely kind and compassionate on one of the worst nights. I definitely recommend him and CodaPet if you ever find yourself in this situation.
An amazing company to help you through a most difficult time. Dr Murry arrived early upon a last minute reqeust, he was pleasant and kind. He softly explained the process and answered any and all questions....I cannot recommend them enough! We are so glad we found them to help us get through this difficult time, it's so great to be able to have this done at home where your pet feels safe and secure....our Eddie was able to finish his final moments at home with his family, safe and comfortable in his own bed. Thank you CodaPets & Dr. Murry!
I highly recommend Dr. John Murray. He was so kind, compassionate, and professional in helping during our last moments with our precious Finney. Saying goodbye to your beloved pet is so hard and having the option to do it in our home was so comforting not only for us but for Finney. It takes a special person to do what he does and again I highly recommend him.
