CodaPet adds Vineland veterinarian for in-home pet euthanasia

Families in Vineland now have another option when a beloved pet reaches the end of life: Dr. Benjamin Litwack, a Bridgeton veterinarian, has joined CodaPet to bring in-home euthanasia into Cumberland County. The service is aimed at pet owners who want a quieter, more private setting than a clinic or emergency hospital, with appointments available in Vineland and surrounding South Jersey communities. CodaPet’s Vineland page lists Litwack as the only veterinarian found near the city, says two hours’ notice is required, and shows pricing starting at $350.

The move widens access for households in Vineland, Millville and neighboring areas across Cumberland, Camden, Gloucester, Atlantic, Salem and Cape May counties. For residents making an urgent end-of-life decision, the practical details matter: Litwack is based in Bridgeton, and the platform is set up so families can arrange a licensed veterinarian to come to them rather than transport a sick or frightened animal across town.

Litwack said he has offered in-home euthanasia in his own practice since 2021 and views it as the most humane option when circumstances allow because it lets families say goodbye in a familiar place. He has operated In Your Arms Veterinary Care for eight years, and his CodaPet profile says he earned an undergraduate degree from American University in 2007 and a veterinary medicine degree from Virginia Tech in 2018. His practice says he focuses on respectful end-of-life and geriatric care for pets and families.

CodaPet describes itself as a telemedicine and booking platform founded in the summer of 2022 by three veterinarians who wanted to make in-home pet euthanasia easier to access across the United States. The company says its network now reaches more than 100 U.S. cities, and Litwack’s addition extends that model into a part of South Jersey where many families may not know a home-based option is available until they need it immediately.

The service also fits within broader veterinary guidance on end-of-life care. The American Veterinary Medical Association says euthanasia guidelines are intended to help veterinarians relieve pain and suffering, and the guidelines are reviewed at least every 10 years. The American Animal Hospital Association says end-of-life and euthanasia decisions become especially significant when pets develop chronic progressive disease or terminal illness. In New Jersey, veterinarians must be licensed and registered by the state and renew those registrations every two years, underscoring the formal medical framework behind the service now reaching Vineland.
