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.

With the growing population of the Raleigh-Durham area, I am here to help those families who seek to make that transition for their pets in the comfort and familiarity of their homes.”

— Dr. Daniela Niksch

CARY, NC, UNITED STATES, November 12, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — CodaPet has added a new licensed veterinarian to expand its services for in-home pet euthanasia in Cary. 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. Daniela Niksch plans to serve pets and pet parents in Cary 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 Cary 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. Niksch has wanted to be a veterinarian since she was a little girl. That dream carried her to NC State University College of Veterinary Medicine, where she earned her degree and returned to the Triangle area to build her career close to home. She has spent the years since caring for pets and their families across every life stage, from puppy and kitten visits to the full complexity of geriatric care. The RDU community is not just where she practices; it is where she belongs, and that connection informs every relationship she builds with the families she serves.

Dr. Niksch is attuned to the practical realities families face when navigating end-of-life care. Getting to a clinic is not always straightforward, and in a moment already defined by grief, that logistical burden can weigh heavily. “Sometimes it is difficult to have access to coordinating transportation for vet care, depending on one’s ability to drive, or even the size of one’s dog or cat,” she says. “It is one less thing to worry about in the difficult time of saying goodbye to one’s baby. It often times is also less stressful for the pet to be in their own home environment.” By coming directly to the family, she removes that obstacle entirely and returns the focus to what the moment is really about.

Cary and the broader Raleigh-Durham area have grown significantly in recent years, bringing with them a growing community of pet owners who deserve meaningful options when the time comes to say goodbye. Dr. Niksch sees that need clearly and has stepped forward to help meet it. “It is important to have options for end of life care and euthanasia,” she says. “With the growing population of the Raleigh-Durham area, I am here to help those families who seek to make that transition for their pets in the comfort and familiarity of their homes.”

Dr. Daniela Niksch serves Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Apex, Morrisville, Chapel Hill, Holly Springs, Fuquay-Varina, Garner, Knightdale, Clayton, Pittsboro, and surrounding communities across Wake, Durham, and parts of Chatham, Orange, and Johnston counties in North Carolina’s Research Triangle region.


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 $335 in Cary. The aftercare and cremation price begins at $165 and varies depending on factors such as the driving distance, the pet’s size, and the option for private or communal cremation.
