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.
SAN DIEGO, CA, UNITED STATES, September 8, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Families seeking in-home pet euthanasia in San Diego, CA, now have greater access to care as CodaPet adds a new licensed veterinarian to serve the area. Through its network of compassionate veterinarians, the company provides peaceful, in-home euthanasia that allows pets to pass at home, where they feel most at ease, surrounded by the people they love. Dr. Ashley Glatting plans to serve pets and pet parents in San Diego and the 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. It is my wish that every family in San Diego becomes 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,” says Dr. Karen Whala, a co-founder of CodaPet.
Dr. Karen Whala, Dr. Gary Hsia, and Dr. Bethany 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.
Dr. Glatting brings an exceptional combination of clinical and counseling expertise to in-home end-of-life care. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Business and Agribusiness with a minor in Pre-Veterinary Medicine from Arizona State University, her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Oregon State University, and a Master of Arts in Education with a concentration in Counseling from San Diego State University. She is a Certified Peaceful Euthanasia Veterinarian through CAETA and a member of the California Veterinary Medical Association. That combination of veterinary training, counseling education, and specialized end-of-life certification is rare, and it shapes every visit she makes.
Dr. Glatting grew up in Phoenix and now calls San Diego home, a city she has chosen and built her life in. Serving the families of this community carries particular meaning for her because of that personal investment. She understands that losing a pet is rarely a simple grief. Families are not only saying goodbye to a beloved companion. They are often losing familiar routines, a source of daily comfort, and a part of how they understand themselves and their home. “I provide in-home euthanasia because I want families to have the time, privacy, and support to honor that bond in a familiar setting,” she says. “I hope to help create a peaceful goodbye that reflects the significance of the life and relationship being remembered.”
Her commitment to this work is also personal. Dr. Glatting carries the memory of Harvest, her beloved cat who is no longer physically with her but remains, as she describes it, an important part of her family. Saying goodbye to Harvest deepened her understanding of how profound that loss can be and how meaningful it is to honor the bond that remains. That lived experience with both loss and love is what she brings to every home she enters. “Euthanasia should be approached with grace, dignity, and respect,” she says. “It is not only a peaceful goodbye, but also an honoring of the life and love shared between a pet and their family.”
Dr. Ashley Glatting serves San Diego, Chula Vista, El Cajon, La Mesa, Santee, Poway, Encinitas, Solana Beach, Del Mar, Escondido, Vista, Oceanside, and surrounding communities throughout central and northern San Diego County.
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.
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 major benefit 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. In addition, being surrounded by loved ones can provide a sense of support and comfort during a very difficult time.
3. Control: In-home pet euthanasia also allows pet owners to have more control over the experience. They can choose the time and place of the euthanasia, as well as who will be present. 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.
4. 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.
In-home Pet Euthanasia Costs
The starting price of in-home euthanasia starts at $350 in San Diego. The aftercare and cremation price begins at $100 and varies depending on factors such as the driving distance, the pet’s size, and the option for private or communal cremation.
