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.
CONCORD, CA, UNITED STATES, October 8, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — CodaPet has added a new licensed veterinarian to expand its services for in-home pet euthanasia in Concord. 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. Lindsay Swirble plans to serve pets and pet parents in Concord 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 Concord 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. Swirble brings more than 25 years of veterinary experience to the families of Concord, including 12 years spent in the high-stakes environment of emergency medicine. She earned her undergraduate degree from Temple University in 2002 and her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Ross University in 2010. After over a decade working at the sharpest edge of clinical veterinary care, she made a deliberate choice to turn her focus toward something she found equally meaningful: helping pets spend their final moments at home, comfortable and surrounded by the people who love them most. That transition was not a step back. It was a choice toward the kind of care she believes matters most.
One of the things Dr. Swirble understands clearly about the Concord area is when families need help and when they cannot get it. Veterinary hospitals in the region are plentiful, but their availability has limits that often leave families without options at the moments that matter most. She has structured her practice specifically to address that gap, offering appointments in the evenings and on weekends and holidays. “Concord and the surrounding areas have a large number of veterinary hospitals, but they are usually not available in the evenings, weekends, or holidays,” she says. For families facing a loss that does not keep business hours, Dr. Swirble is there.
At the heart of Dr. Swirble’s practice is a straightforward and deeply held conviction about what families deserve in their hardest moments. The decision to say goodbye to a beloved pet is one of the most difficult a pet parent will ever make, and she does not take lightly the trust placed in her when she walks through the door. “Saying goodbye is the most difficult decision a pet parent has to make,” she says, “and I am grateful to help them through the process.” That gratitude, genuine and unforced, is what Concord families will feel the moment she arrives.
Dr. Lindsay Swirble serves Concord, Walnut Creek, Pleasant Hill, Martinez, Pittsburg, Antioch, Oakley, Brentwood, Hercules, Pinole, Richmond, Orinda, Moraga, Lafayette, Danville, San Ramon, and surrounding communities throughout Contra Costa County and the East Bay.
How In-home Pet Euthanasia Works
Through CodaPet’s website, pet parents can easily book in-home pet euthanasia performed by a licensed vet.
Before the appointment, the vet contacts the family to address any questions or concerns they might have.
The vet 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.
For those who need support with aftercare, CodaPet can also assist with transportation and cremation services. The visit takes, on average, one hour. Pet parents have a window of time to be with their pets privately before and after the euthanasia procedure, which lasts about 15 minutes. The vet 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.
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 is $350 in Concord. The aftercare and cremation price begins at $90 and varies depending on factors such as the driving distance, the pet’s size, and the option for private or communal cremation.
