Dr. Philip Haros is a compassionate veterinarian who is dedicated to providing pet owners with support during one of the most challenging moments in their journey with their beloved companions. Born and raised in Hampton Roads, Dr. Haros recently returned to the area in 2022 to practice full-time at Kempsville Veterinary Hospital. His journey in veterinary medicine led him to pursue a Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from the University of Melbourne, and he has gained valuable veterinary training experiences in Canada, Australia, and the United States. Dr. Haros firmly believes that this diverse background enhances his ability to deliver exceptional veterinary care and build lasting client-doctor relationships. During this difficult time, you can trust Dr. Haros to facilitate a peaceful passing for your cherished companion.

Also serving Virginia Beach is Dr. Erin Struble, DVM, a dedicated veterinarian whose passion lies in providing compassionate end-of-life care for your beloved companions. Growing up as a navy brat, she developed a deep appreciation for the concept of "home," with Hampton Roads being the constant anchor in her life. After earning her degree from the Virginia Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine in 2016, she eagerly returned to this cherished community to establish her roots. For the past seven years, Dr. Struble has been an integral part of the Newport News general practice scene, extending her heartfelt patient care throughout the Peninsula.

Dr. Erin Struble's mission is simple yet profound: to offer tender, kind, and serene end-of-life care for your cherished best friends. Her affinity for feline companionship runs deep, as she shares her life with three beloved cats—Astrid, Wally, and Soufflé—alongside a loyal German shepherd named Hiccup. The mark of her compassion extends even further, having opened her heart and home to numerous foster pets, each leaving an indelible imprint.

Our family is so grateful for CodaPet. Two days ago we made the difficult decision to free our senior dog from her painful body. I was able to schedule an appointment for the following day. My anxiety was extremely high all morning, but the moment Dr. Sarah Crozier stepped foot in our home I felt at ease. She made a really difficult experience peaceful and beautiful. She brought yummy snacks for our dog, and explained everything she was doing along the way. We got to share stories about our dog, we laughed, and we cried. She stepped outside while we said our final goodbyes (our other dog included) and gave us as much time as we needed. We never felt rushed, and she was extremely compassionate. The cost of the service is worth every penny. Our beloved dog was able to pass away in her favorite bed surrounded by her favorite people. I highly recommend CodaPet to anyone needing euthanasia service. - Vancouver, WA - December 2025

We were very impressed with CodaPet and the way Dr. Claire Gibson made every accommodation to make the family comfortable at such a difficult time. We were even more impressed with the gentle way you treated our sweet Bailey Girl with her transition. You certainly were an angel of compassion at a time when a physically and mentally exhausted family was in need of a helping hand. You are definitely a credit to your profession and I highly recommend your organization to anyone who should have a need for your services. More importantly, I believe that you are a genuinely good and caring person and I am glad that you were a part of this time in our lives. Thank you for all of your help! - September 2025

My sweet Daisy dog was euthanized last night by Dr Lauren Silvesti of CodaPet. My heart is broken, but the experience was so much more comfortable at home, than at the vets office. Sr Silvesti asked many questions about Daisy life, getting to know her. Daisy was very comfortable with Dr Silvesti, even though she was a stranger to her. Dr was very kind and comforting to us also. She explained the process she would use with Daisy, and options for cremation. She took her time with Daisy, no rushing. Gave her a sedative to calm her before giving her an injection to fall asleep, and then the drug to stop her heart. We had time to tell Daisy how much we loved her, before she left us. She put Daisys favorite toy between IDaisys) front legs. Daisy looked like a sleeping puppy hugging her toy, before she was taken away.
I could not bear to put Daisy thru going to our vets office (which she hated going to) to be euthanized. It was peaceful for Daisy, which was a comfort to us. My heart is heavy, but Daisy is released from misery. I highly recommend Dr Sylvesti and CodaPet.

🦔 Compassionate In-Home Pet Euthanasia by CodaPet In Home Pet Euthanasia


When the time comes to say goodbye, where it happens matters. CodaPet comes to your home so your dog or cat can pass peacefully in a familiar, loving environment — surrounded by the sights, smells, and people they know.


CodaPet provides gentle, respectful in-home pet euthanasia in Virginia Beach, VA, serving pet parents throughout Independent City County and surrounding areas including Norfolk, Chesapeake, Newport News, Hampton, Portsmouth, Suffolk, Williamsburg, Yorktown, Poquoson, Smithfield. Each visit is paced entirely around you and your pet — there is no rush, no cold clinic setting, and no moment spent away from home.


What should I expect during CodaPet's visit?


When CodaPet arrives, they will take time to meet you and your pet, answer any questions you have, and ensure you feel comfortable before anything begins. There is no rush.


The visit typically has three stages. First, a sedative is administered to help your pet relax completely — most pets become calm and drowsy within a few minutes. Second, once your pet is fully at ease, the final medication is given. The process is gentle and painless, and your pet will simply drift off to sleep. Third, CodaPet will confirm the passing and give you as much time as you need to say goodbye. You are welcome to hold your pet, have family members present, or simply sit quietly together. The entire visit is guided entirely by you.
