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. 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. I recently had to make the heartbreaking decision to say goodbye to my beloved 16-year-old Schnoodle, Chief. Carolyn provided in-home euthanasia services, and I cannot say enough about the kindness and compassion she showed Chief and us.
Carolyn was immediately warm and friendly and so understanding. She explained every step beforehand, answered our questions & made sure we knew what to expect. Her confidence was reassuring to us.
The best gift she gave us was the opportunity for Chief to remain comfortable in his own home, surrounded by love. I was able to hold him in my lap as he peacefully passed; a memory I will always cherish.
Carolyn showed genuine compassion for our family during one of the most difficult moments we’ve faced. I am deeply grateful for her care and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a peaceful, loving, and professional end-of-life experience for their pet.
5.0Jun 18 2026 by Kathrynwmc 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 was truly amazing! She was very compassionate and understanding of the situation and made a very difficult time a bit better.

5.0Jun 14 2026 by Jacqueline H. Dr. Ramos came to our home to help us say goodbye to our beloved Phin and we could not have asked for a more compassionate and caring person during such a difficult time. She treated our dog with such gentleness, dignity, and respect, and she showed incredible kindness to our entire family throughout the process.
She took her time, explained everything, and created a peaceful environment that made an impossible moment feel a little easier to bear. Her warmth and genuine compassion were evident through all communications. We are so grateful that our dog was able to pass comfortably at home surrounded by love.
Dr. Ramos is truly a wonderful person, and we will never forget the care and comfort she provided to our family. Thank you for helping us through one of the hardest days with such grace and kindness.
5.0Jun 17 2026 by Tracy Hoopaugh Thank you so much Jessica for your service yesterday. You were kind, patient, and so sincere with such a difficult time for us. I know that my sweet Bella is in a better place and we will miss her always.
5.0Jun 17 2026 by Melissa Ortiz 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. Dr. Vosburg was incredibly kind and supportive during Buddy’s final moments at home. She walked us through the entire process with the utmost respect and care, making sure we felt supported and never rushed. I highly recommend her in home pet euthanasia service to any pet parent looking for a compassionate guide
5.0Jun 18 2026 by Cary Trammell 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. 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. Courtney came to our house and was amazing from start to finish made a really hard decision a little easier she was very compassionate and caring! Highly recommend!
5.0Jun 18 2026 by Lori Black Dr Renee was wonderful. She was understanding and compassionate in supporting us during a very difficult time. I would recommend her in a heartbeat.
5.0Jun 18 2026 by Stephen Brown Dr. Laura helped us through a very difficult time. She was compassionate and especially helped my wife through this with her gentle approach and kindness.
5.0Jun 17 2026 by Dave Mart We chose Codapet and Dr. Nicolette Michelli for the in-home euthanasia of our beloved dog Archie. It was one of the most difficult things we’ve had to go through, but our experience with Codapet and especially Dr. Michelli helped us navigate the process and our grief in a way I never expected. I cannot even begin to put into words the kindness, care and compassion we received all the way around. Dr. Michelli is one of a kind, and I cannot recommend her or Codapet highly enough. If you find yourself needing in-home euthanasia services for your pet, I’m confident in saying there is no better option out there than Dr. Michelli.
5.0Jun 18 2026 by Shanon Leigh We had an emergency situation and knew our beloved husky’s time was at hand. Because my wife and I were traveling and unable to get back home we contacted Codapet and Dr. Jen was immediately available at very short notice. She came to the house and handled this sad and emotional time for our family with love and gentleness and grace. We were able to be there via FaceTime and what had started out as a really difficult event turned into a beautiful and peaceful sendoff for our beloved husky.
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. We’ve had two beloved long time dog companions put to rest in the last eight months, both procedures through in-home pet euthanasia administered by Dr. Ramos. Grief for our loss leading up to, during, and after the procedures was indescribable. The first time we opted to postpone for several days until such time when our pet can no longer get out of bed to eat and go potty; and Dr. Ramos worked with us through it all. Her compassion shows through her silence, her consoling words are sincere. She’s knowledgeable and worked at our pace, giving us time to say proper goodbyes. We still shed tears as she took our pets away, but had no anxiety whatsoever that we sent them away humanely. I think it helped that it was our pets leaving us from their earthly home rather than us leaving them after they were euthanized at a site that’s strange to them.
5.0Jun 17 2026 by Urbi et Orbi Dr. Kellie was so compassionate and comforting.
Her care helped us through. So, kind.
I can recommend her & her care to anyone in this circumstance.
5.0Jun 18 2026 by Tor Faulk Words can't express how grateful we are to Dr. Litwack for allowing us to say goodbye to our Tess at home surrounded by love and comfort. Dr. Litwack was so kind, caring and compassionate throughout the entire process, first explaining what would occur, and then helping us along the way while giving us time to say our goodbyes. I would highly recommend him if you are considering in home euthanasia for your pet. Thank you Dr. Litwack.
5.0Jun 18 2026 by Victoria Merrill I can’t recommend Jessica enough. She has been an incredible veterinarian to all of my dogs over the years and when the time came to make the heartbreaking decision to say goodbye, she was truly a source of comfort and strength.
She is calm, compassionate, and patient-Especially in moments when it’s hard to think clearly or hold it together. She took the time to explain everything in a way that made the process feel a little less overwhelming and treated my dog with such kindness and dignity.
If you are looking for someone who generally cares and treat your pets, as if they were her own, you will be in the best hands.
5.0Jun 18 2026 by Shana Smith I knew my dog, Thelma, was ready to go. I knew I wanted it done at home. I knew I wanted the right doctor to help with this painful process. After reaching out to several vets, I found Dr. April Le Blanc. When I opened the door on that dreadful day, I knew I'd found the right person. She was compassionate, and understanding. Dr. April immediately understood how much Thelma meant to me and honored my requests completely. She gently explained what was going to happen and when. Thelma went peacefully under her favorite bush in our garden. Considering what a heartbreaking day that was, Dr. April made the pain more tolerable with her sensitivity and love for animals.
5.0Jun 18 2026 by Eli Olson 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. I don’t even have the words for how grateful we are for Dr. Walden. She was available on such short notice and was at our home within 2 hours. Our sweet Dorkie Maddie was quickly taking a turn. She made it 17 years. Dr. Walden’s presence was so calming, so reassuring, so kind. She was so thoughtful with every direction, word, action, and touch. She was so patient and gave us all the time we needed to say goodbye. We had no idea what to expect with this process, but we can absolutely say that it although it was devastating, it was beautiful. Forever thankful for Dr. Walden.
5.0Jun 18 2026 by Austin Lane 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. 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 very patient and caring with our 16 year old dog. She showed great compassion and took time to explain the process. Highly recommend her!
5.0Jan 26 2026 by Gary C. Dr Brielle Dzierga made one of the hardest things I've ever done as gentle as possible. In home pet euthanasia is never an easy decision, but Dr Dzierga was caring, compassionate and incredibly patient. She was reassuring the entire time and explained everything.
5.0Jun 18 2026 by Matt Alaura Dr. Karen Whala was absolutely wonderful. Nanook took to her right away and you could tell she was completely at ease. Dr. Karen was so sweet and kind to Nanook. When the time came, Nanook fell asleep and the last thing she experienced was hearing our voices and pets as she drifted off. You can’t put a price on that, I would recommend this process to everyone that loves their pet and wants the best for them. And if you are lucky enough to get Dr. Karen Whala you will be getting the best most caring doctor. Thank you Dr. Whala.
5.0Jun 18 2026 by Ma Pinedo Dr. Ramos and her associate were both very professional and compassionate in working with my family. They helped us through a very difficult situation.
5.0Jun 18 2026 by James Fair 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. Genuinely cannot recommend this service and Dr. Murray enough. Making that hard decision and saying goodbye to our Luna was extremely difficult… But having the option to keep her comfortable, where she felt the safest (her corner on the couch) during her last moments meant everything to us and felt like the very least we could do after the 12 years she gave us. Dr. Murray was extremely compassionate and thorough, explaining the whole process beforehand, as well as during each step. Our family can be a lot to handle at times so i especially appreciate how he was able to adapt to our dynamic in a way that didn’t feel forced. I don’t wish the heartache on anyone… but when that time does unfortunately come, I cannot recommend Dr. Murray enough.
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. No one ever wants to make the call to bring a vet into your home to say goodbye. However, Dr. Sarah Wratten made the worst day of our family's life go from intolerable to bearable.
Our 12 year old dog gave us no warning he was unwell and collapsed in the kitchen around 5pm on a Thursday. I called 3 other in-home euthanasia services, one said they could come Saturday, on said they could come Tuesday and one said they did not have any openings and we should go to an ER. All the while, our boy is suffering. Coda had an option to put in an emergency request. I did this at 6:44pm and by 6:48 Dr. Sarah had texted me that she could come right away.
She arrived and was so kind and helped us know we were making the right choice (you can never be "sure" on these things) and prioritized making our guy comfortable before anything else. She helped our 3 children understand what was going to happen and gave us all the time we needed.
I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Wratten. I wish we had met her under happier circumstances, but we feel so blessed that she was the one to help us say goodbye.
