CodaPet expands compassionate in-home pet euthanasia services in Tampa Bay, FL

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.

TAMPA, FL, UNITED STATES, April 18, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- CodaPet is expanding its services in Tampa Bay, FL. 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. Lisa Littlejohn joined Dr. Greta Goranova and Dr. Lisa Tipton to serve the Tampa Bay area and its suburbs.

“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. Gary Hsia, a co-founder of CodaPet. “It is my wish that every family in the Tampa Bay Area and its suburbs 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. Gary Hsia, Dr. Bethany Hsia, and Dr. Karen Whala 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 am honored to help families through one of life’s hardest moments, ensuring their beloved pets can pass peacefully at home. Partnering with CodaPet allows me to reach more families in need of compassionate, in-home euthanasia, providing comfort, dignity, and love in their pet’s final moments," says Dr. Lisa Littlejohn. Dr. Lisa Littlejohn has devoted her life to animals, guided by a lifelong passion for compassionate care and meaningful connection. A proud graduate of the University of Florida, where she earned both her undergraduate degree in 2005 and her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine in 2010, Dr. Littlejohn has spent years helping pets live long, healthy, and joyful lives. Over time, she discovered that one of the most powerful ways to honor the human-animal bond is by providing a gentle, loving goodbye at home—where pets feel safest, and families can say farewell in peace.

For Dr. Littlejohn, veterinary medicine has never been solely about clinical expertise. It’s about love, empathy, and the incredible relationships we build with our animal companions. She believes that the end of a pet’s life deserves as much care and compassion as every moment that came before it. That belief led her to focus on in-home euthanasia, where she offers families a heartfelt, respectful way to say goodbye—with dignity, comfort, and support.

Dr. Littlejohn services Spring Hill, Brooksville, Hudson, Land O Lakes, Dade City, New Port Richey, Wesley Chapel, Homosassa, Port Richey, Inverness, Lutz, Zephyrhills, and the surrounding areas.


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 starts at $400 in the Tampa Bay Area. The aftercare and cremation price begins at $175 and varies depending on factors such as the driving distance, the pet's size, and the option for private or communal cremation.
