Dr.Lutri did An amazing job ,
Didn't feel rushed very comforting and careing on my hardest decision I had make , I will always miss my boy but I know hes not in pain no more. THANK YOU Dr. Daniela Lutri for helping me get through that in the comfort of my own home.
Would highly recommend her if and when its time to say goodbye to your fur babys.
5.0Jun 14 2026 by Jacqueline H. We got some bad news and had to make arrangements quickly. Not that our vet isn’t wonderful but we opted for in home pet euthanasia. Dr Jessica Smith was absolutely wonderful. She had availability within a couple days so our boy could be over the rainbow bridge and out of pain, quickly. She was knowledgeable and kind. She gave our family as much time as we needed to say goodbye. Highly recommend CodaPet for your pet’s final journey
5.0Jun 21 2026 by jordyn jinal Dr. Magnotta was so gentle, kind, and caring with us. She explained what was happening every step of the way. If you have to go through this, we highly recommend her.
5.0Jun 20 2026 by Kristen Noone Dr. Daniela Lutri was very kind, warm and patient with us and our beloved cat. She helped us understand what our cat was going through and eased our guilt with scheduling her euthenasia. We didn't feel rushed either. Given the circumstances, it was a good experience.
5.0Jun 02 2026 by Cindy G. Dr. Daniela is an angel. I wasn’t sure what to expect going through the in-home euthanasia process and Dr. Daniela was kind enough to answer questions.
I was able to give my beloved Scooby some of his favorites: cream cheese, whipped cream, and as we began: his absolute favorite: cheeseburgers.
Dr. Daniela explained each step as we went along and it helped calm me, which helped keep Scooby calm.
I will be forever grateful to Dr. Daniela for helping me give Scooby the opportunity to transition with dignity in the comfort of his home.
I had Scooby for nearly 12 years, the ultimate best friend, he helped me through illness, the loss of my father. I rescued him from a high-kill shelter, but really, he rescued me.
I am forever grateful that I was able to be with Scooby as he transitioned and became my guardian angel.❤️
5.0Apr 06 2026 by Brenda B. I can't say enough great things about Dr. Karen.
It was a tough decision but with her calm caring ways she made the whole process for our beloved cat and us calm and peaceful.
Thank you so much.
5.0Jun 22 2026 by Judy Masson My baby went across the rainbow bridge. Peacefully she departed with Daniela by my side.
This has been the second most heartbreaking moment in my life. Daniela saw me at my worst, crying, unable to speak and somber. She had such care and compassion. I don’t think anyone else would’ve been able to help me the way she did. I would only work with Daniela if I had to go through this again. Please see my feedback as authentic. I usually don’t talk about my experiences. But Daniela aiding us through this tough time really resonated with me.
5.0May 22 2026 by Monique Z. I really can't say enough about Dr. Daniela. We had a shock one day as our dog, who had been quite well, suddenly developed a pericardial effusion. Long story short, he didn't have more than about 24 hours to live. We called Dr. Daniela as she was wonderful with our daughters dog. I called her at night and was surprised to find she was able to come over the same night. Our dog being able to pass in the comfort of a favorite spot made us feel better for him. Dr Daniela has so much kindness, and compassion. She truly made this very difficult time a bit easier with her comforting words, understanding and gentle handling of our dog Bowie. She is truly a one of a kind wonderful person
5.0Feb 19 2026 by Linda P. Dr. Sarah Clem was amazing. She was extremely kind & compassionate for the transition of our 17 year old orange kitty. She was gentle & understanding & gave us all the time we needed after the passing of our boy Kitten.
5.0Jun 21 2026 by Marcus Lusk She explained every step and told us what to expect. Communicating with her was easy and she was in contact with us for her arrival time and was personable. We felt comfortable with her and she was kind enough to let me know when my Wolfie’s ashes arrived and she delivered him personally to our home. Thank you for making this difficult time easier.
5.0Feb 16 2026 by Jennifer G. In home pet euthanasia - such a difficult time. We were fortunate enough to find Dr Amanda Harper with CODA PET. She was amazingly kind and thoughtful. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience under tragic circumstances. Our 13 yr old dog, was diagnosed with an aggressive Lymphoma and declined quickly. We were able to schedule Dr Harper, who is an excellent communicator as she walked us through the steps. She thought of everything and made this sad day special for us. An absolute angel for our family.
5.0Jun 22 2026 by Eva Hutton Dr. Daniela Lutri made this painful process so much easier. The minute we met her it was like we had known her for years. She is so compassionate and friendly. She gave us a big hug as soon as she walked in. We had to put down a sister and a brother 8 days apart. It was devasting but, Daniel was so comforting. She reassured us they would be out of pain and happier. Both had stopped eating and were crying from pain from their illness. She rearranged her schedule just so she could come back for our other dog 8 days after the first one. She even hand delivered both cedar boxes of ashes together. We absolutely love Daniela and she made the painful experience much bearable.
5.0Dec 12 2025 by Lisa T. I always promised my Bailey a peaceful and pain was ending, and that's exactly what happened thanks to Dr. Daniela.
Dr. Daniela did something completely different from anything I had experienced with my other pets, and it brought me an incredible amount of comfort during one of the hardest moments of my life.
In the past, my pets were given an IV in their leg before any pain medication or sedation. It was upsetting to watch because they were uncomfortable, fighting the process, and clearly stressed. With Dr. Daniela, my cat never even flinched.
She used a gentle three step process that allowed my cat to peacefully cross the Rainbow Bridge in my arms without fear, pain, or the discomfort of needles and IV placement.
First, she used a tiny needle to give him an opioid and pain medication in the scruff area. The needle was so small he did not even notice it. She then waited about 10 minutes, and during that time he was completely relaxed, comfortable, pain free, and calm.
Next, when I was ready, she gave him a sedative with another very small needle in his back leg. Because he was already relaxed and on opioids, he did not react at all! Then, when I was ready, she administered the final medication.
The entire process felt gentle, calm, and compassionate. Dr. Daniela explained every step with kindness and empathy, which helped me tremendously through my grief.
I am completely at peace with how everything happened. Knowing my cat passed away feeling safe, comfortable, and loved in my arms gives me enormous comfort. After experiencing this level of care, I would never choose any other approach for my pets in the future.
At end, Dr. Daniela brought out a really comfy pet bed lined with fluffy blankets to take my fur baby away. That made me feel even better about the entire situation knowing his last trip was exactly how he would have loved it to be.
5.0Jun 04 2026 by Angella R. Dr. Lutri was amazing and wonderful through this difficult process. I don’t know what I would have done if I had to have taken Ellie in and move her. My sweet furry bestie was comfortable on the place she always felt secure. We were all by her side and she went “to sleep” so peacefully. Dr. Lutri was thoughtful and so caring. I would highly recommend her.
5.0Feb 26 2026 by Jennifer P. I would love to give more stars. Dr. Miranda Collins was so kind and compassionate at one of the worst times of my life. My heart is so broken, nothing can make it better right now. But dealing with Dr. Collins as well as the person that walked me through the process on the phone was nothing less than stellar. I would highly recommend them if you ever find yourself in this terrible position.
5.0Jun 22 2026 by Darline Sellers Dr. Thompson was fantastic at helping our family navigate a difficult and sad time during the end of our dog's life. She put both our family and our dog at ease. Our German Shepherd was never anxious or in any distress the entire time. Dr. Thompson talked to us a while comforting us while also allowing our dog to become comfortable with her being there prior to starting. She followed several steps during the euthanasia procedure which she had walked us through. Our dog passed peacefully while getting belly rubs. He wasn't alarmed in the slightest. He was always an anxious mess going to the vet so having Dr. Thompson come to our house and do such a great job was a real blessing to our family.

There are no words that fully capture the gratitude I feel for Dr. Daniela Lutri. During the most heartbreaking moment of my life, she showed up with an incredible amount of compassion, patience, and gentleness. She treated my sweet Harley with such dignity and respect, and she treated me with kindness when I was completely broken.
Dr. Lutri took the time to explain everything, never rushed a single step, and made sure Harley was comfortable, peaceful, and surrounded by love. The calm presence she brought into my home made an unbearable situation feel just a little more humane and a little less terrifying.
Saying goodbye to a soul dog is devastating, but knowing Harley passed quietly, pain-free, and in my arms is something I will forever be grateful for. Dr. Lutri gave us the gift of a peaceful goodbye, and that is something I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
I cannot recommend her enough to anyone facing this impossible decision. She truly does this work from the heart.
5.0Jan 19 2026 by Camille C. Dr. Collins was soft spoken and gentle—a much appreciated calm presence in the midst of my personal heartbreak.
The decision of “date and time” to schedule this sort of appointment is NEVER easy. Dr. Collins did everything she could to accommodate our needs when we needed to change our appointment.
Having this done at home was the last kindest thing I could do for my Jack, who had always hated going to the vet. The intimacy of his final moments being in his space at home were invaluable to me.
5.0Jun 22 2026 by Jennifer Adams We wanted to thank Dr. Sarah for the tender care she showed us and our sweet Layla. She made a very difficult decision very peaceful and calming for us. She was very professional and compassionate. She walked us through the procedure, answered our questions and gave us all the time we needed to say goodbye. We were very touched by the extra care she gave Layla when it was time to leave by placing her in a pretty basket and tucking her in with a blanket. Such a sweet gesture. We would give Dr. Sarah 10 stars if we could. Thank you Dr. Sarah for making such a hard experience a little lighter for us, we appreciated it so very much. The Walters Family
5.0Jun 22 2026 by Lori Walters Can’t recommend Dr Matthew enough for anyone facing the unfortunate decision to put their pet down. He handles his job with compassion and care for both the pet and their owners. While putting our dog down was an extremely sad and difficult thing to do, Dr Matthew ensured a painless passing with gentleness and care at the comfort of our pets home. Thank you, Dr Matthew!
5.0Jun 22 2026 by Travis Dasher I made arrangements with Dr. Melissa Magnotta to come to our home because our 18 year old kitty was reaching the end of her life. I wasn’t looking forward to this but she made everything the way I wanted it for our Molly. The process provided a calm, gentle farewell. I recommend Dr. Magnotta highly!!
5.0Jun 20 2026 by L. Ruth MacDonald Haven’t been able to talk about my Oliver. He left me way too soon. He was part of my soul and Dr Daniela knew that. She helped him cross over with all the love and respect he deserved. She helped me grieve and I am so grateful to her. She is gentle, sweet and caring.
5.0Dec 09 2025 by Vivian F. Dr. Lutri made this very difficult decision a little easier to get through with her kindness and her knowledge of everything was also comforting. She walked us through the process of it all and her compassion was shown the whole way. I wouldn’t change anything about our experience and I can’t think of anyone else who would do a better job than Dr. Lutri. I thank her for what she does helping pet owners get through the hardest of times. I definitely recommend Dr. Lutri to help other families with the passing of their beloved pets.
5.0Jun 17 2026 by Amanda E. Laurie Anne Walden checked in with me daily as we approached the day we needed her to come and I reached out urgently one evening and she arrived an hour an half later. Thank you Dr. Walden.
5.0Jun 20 2026 by Tammy James This service was a bright spot in a very dark time. I called every vet in the area about an in home visit for my 230 lb Great Dane Hercules. He went down after a car ride and did not get back up. He was the best dog, my best friend, and protector when it was not a plastic bag caught in the fence. He made an impression on all who knew him, so when this happened we were all devastated. Since the local vets were not in a charitable way I turned to google to find a solution. It was God sent. When it was time to make this hard decision they were there. There was no available appointment for the next few days, so I signed up for an emergency appointment. With in 2 hours I had a spot for the next morning. I have full communication with the vet as soon as the appointment was booked. Doctor P. I can’t believe how amazing she is. She was so kind, respectful, and just a beautiful soul. She was professional and caring. She never referred to my dog as anything other than his name. She asked questions about the situation and look at Herc to make sure that it was not something simple, and explained how the process would work. She told us every move she made and insured that we were good with it. She was gentle and caring with my Herc. She waited for my nod when it was time. He went very peacefully. For some reason it ment so much to me that she bandaged his leg after the process. She stepped out and give my family some time. Once that was finished we helped get him loaded and she took him. She was so kind. It was the best experience that I could have hoped for. She contacted me later that evening to go over the payment before it was submitted. She made it possible for me to have his ashes sent back to me when I thought there wouldn’t be a way. Because of her kindness I get to keep my Herc with me. I received him early this week. She made this process as good as it could be and I could not recommend this service and Doctor P more. I would give this higher than 5 stars if possible. I would not think twice to recommend this service and Doctor P to anyone facing this incredibly difficult situation. THANK YOU AGAIN SO MUCH, and GOD BLESS YOU DOCTOR P!!!
5.0Jun 20 2026 by Sarah P On one of the worst days of my life, Dr. Lutri gave me the gift of peace. I didn't know what to expect with an in home euthanasia, but I can say that from the moment she contacted me after I made the appointment, she was nothing but kind and reassuring. She comforted me, gave me all the time I needed, and most importantly, was sweet and kind to my baby Cleo all the way through the process. If I ever have to make this decision again, there is no doubt that I will contact Daniela.
5.0Apr 16 2026 by Tatiana I. Dr. Le Blanc was such a wonderful and empathetic partner. I could not have asked for a better experience -- even though I dreaded losing Marti. It's a special person who can make someone who is suffering a loss feel they are doing the right thing, and that was Dr. Le Blanc. I will be forever grateful to her.
5.0Jun 22 2026 by Mary Stephens We are very grateful for the love and support from Dr. Lutri when she came to visit us for our beloved Kona. She was amazing, very sentimental and caring about our loss and made this day alittle more bearable by her kindness and calmness about the entire situation. Thank you for being there for our family! We appreciate it!
5.0Jan 25 2026 by Lorraine D. Dr. Lutri was truly amazing! She was very compassionate and understanding of the situation and made a very difficult time a bit better.
5.0Apr 05 2026 by Lisa G. Dr. Wolfingbarger treated a very sad experience, in home pet euthanasia, with such care and compassion for both me and my Maddie. While it was an incredibly painful decision to make, I did not want my sweet dog to suffer, and Dr. Wolf showed incredible empathy and professionalism.
5.0Jun 22 2026 by Jules Myers Dr. Lutri is very kind, understanding and a very knowledgeable vet… I really appreciated her kindness at this very difficult time for me and my pet.
5.0May 15 2026 by Laura C. Dr. Lutri was incredibly kind, patient, and did all the right things to make our last minutes with our dear friend as peaceful and painless as possible. I am grateful we were able to say goodbye at home and I am grateful Dr. Lutri was the one to help us. She has a kind heart.
5.0Mar 15 2026 by Jordan D. On the worst day of Gypsy's 14+ years of life, Dr. Shanina Halbert was an incredible counselor. She was kind, knowledgeable, communicative, compassionate, and spiritually soothing in her approach to in home euthanasia. The process was peaceful. Gypsy was surrounded by love and, in the end, by chamomile flowers and a wreath of leaves.
5.0Jun 20 2026 by Leslie Frank I do not wish to relive this experience, as saying goodbye to a beloved family member is never easy. That said, Dr. Burke was exceptional. He was professional, calm, compassionate, and incredibly gentle with our beloved dog throughout the entire process. What stood out most was his ability to read the room and respond to the emotions of everyone present. He created a peaceful, comforting environment during one of the hardest moments our family has faced.
If you are considering this type of service and feeling uncertain, I can wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Burke. He cared not only for our pet with dignity and kindness, but also for our family when we needed it most.
5.0Jun 22 2026 by Bruno Azevedo I cannot say enough about Dr. Yang and this at-home euthanasia service overall. Having to say goodbye to our sweet boy was beyond painful and I had already had a traumatic experience at a traditional vet visit with a pup years ago. I found Codavet and Dr. Yang and from the first tearful phone call, with a lovely woman named Dana, to the return of the memorial items, their service was top tier. Losing our boy was so incredibly painful, but Dr. Yang was so compassionate and him being able to cross over at home, surrounded by his humans and his little sister, was the greatest gift we could give him… and ourselves. Beyond grateful 💜🐾
5.0Jun 22 2026 by Brownlee Kiernan When the time came to say goodbye to my 17-year-old cat, I chose CodaPet and Dr Melissa Magnotta. I could not have asked for a more understanding and compassionate veterinarian. You could tell that she really loved animals. My cat passed very peacefully without any pain or suffering. I was by his side the whole time. It's heartbreaking to say goodbye to a beloved companion but seeing him pass so peacefully made the process a little easier. At home pet euthanasia was the most compassionate decision that I could have made.
My family and I all highly recommend Dr. Nicole Ramos at CodaPet. First of all, the website is super simple and its very easy to sett up an appointment. And then, once Dr. Ramos gets involved, her communications are so timely and perfect. She was very quick to answer the few questions that I had prior to her arrival. And then when that very difficult moment comes, Dr. Ramos is truly gifted and I’m convinced she has found her calling in helping families to say goodbye to their beloved pets in a dignified manner. I highly recommend!! Thank you. Dr. Ramos and CodaPet!!
5.0Jun 21 2026 by David Lee We will always be grateful to Dr. Daniela Lutri for the kindness and compassion she showed us when we had to say goodbye to our dog, Daisy. It was one of the hardest moments of our lives, and she handled it with so much care and gentleness.
She spoke to us like real people, took her time, and treated Daisy with so much love and respect. Nothing felt rushed or clinical—just calm, patient, and incredibly thoughtful. In a moment when our hearts were breaking, her presence truly mattered.
Losing Daisy was devastating, but knowing she passed peacefully and with dignity brings us comfort. We are deeply thankful. 🐾💔
5.0Feb 08 2026 by Katherine H. When it was time to cross our beloved fur baby over, we used CodaPet. We have used another at-home pet euthanasia company, but our last experience with them was very unpleasant.
Dr. Daniela Lutri came to our home and assisted our fur baby to cross over. We are deeply grateful to Dr. Lutri for the extraordinary compassion and care she provided during a difficult moment in our lives. Saying goodbye to our beloved fur baby was heartbreaking, but Dr. Lutri’s presence brought a sense of peace and dignity to the experience that we will never forget.
From the moment she arrived, Dr. Lutri was kind, gentle, and incredibly patient. She took the time to ask us about our fur baby, and our fur baby’s health issues. As she became acquainted with our fur baby, she pointed out some other health issues that were obvious to her. Hearing Dr. Lutri share them with us validated that we were making the right decision.
Dr. Lutri explained everything to us with tenderness and respect, allowing us to move at our own pace. Her calm and compassionate demeanor created a safe space for our family to grieve and say goodbye.
The way Dr. Lutri guided our baby through her final moments was nothing short of beautiful. It was peaceful, serene, and filled with love—exactly what we had hoped for. Knowing our fur baby passed in the comfort of her home, surrounded by love and without fear, has brought us immense comfort in our grief.
Dr. Lutri is truly a gift to families navigating the loss of a cherished companion. Her work is more than a service—it’s a calling, and we are forever thankful for her grace and empathy.
5.0Nov 13 2025 by Kelly J. Dr. Lutri was very patient and caring with our 16 year old dog. She showed great compassion and took time to explain the process. Highly recommend her!
