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. 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. Yesterday was one of the hardest days of my life. We had to make the decision to say goodbye to my 14 year old girl. It all happened so fast and I couldn't see her in pain. Dr. Lewis was dispatched and at my house within 30 minutes. She was so compassionate and loving towards my Coco and cat who didn't leave Coco's side. She explained the process to us and was gentle throughout the whole thing. Thank you so much for what you do and for showing so much love and compassion to all involved. May God bless you and guide you as you continue to help families in their time of grief and sorrow.💕
5.0Jun 14 2026 by sandra alejandre We are so grateful for Dr. Dover's compassion and professionalism on an awful, horribly sad day for us. I am so glad we called CodaPet. Our dog was suffering so much before she came to help him. Cancer of the gums is a terrible thing. Now he is at peace.
5.0Jun 15 2026 by Carol Ann Mason This is a much needed service at an extremely painful time . This is the second time I have used Coda Pets / Peaceful Passing and specifically Dr. Jenny Tovar . She is so calm and assuring, patient not rushing and very loving . Each time she’s helped us end our pets/family members suffering it was a very calm and peaceful passing. We are grateful for this service.
5.0Jun 15 2026 by Brenda Bethel 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!
5.0Jan 26 2026 by Gary C. 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. I cannot recommend Dr. Kit Warren highly enough. When my family faced the most difficult decision of our lives, Dr. Warren provided compassionate, professional, and deeply respectful care through home-assisted euthanasia.
From our very first conversation, Dr. Warren listened with genuine empathy and took the time to understand our unique situation without any judgment. He explained every step of the process clearly, answered all of our questions patiently, and ensured we felt fully informed and supported. His calm, kind demeanor helped ease an incredibly heavy emotional burden for both our Bella, myself and my husband.
The home visit was handled with the utmost dignity and professionalism. Dr. Warren created a peaceful, private environment and stayed with us throughout, offering quiet reassurance and making sure our Bella was comfortable and in control at every moment. His expertise and attention to detail gave us the gift of a gentle, pain-free transition surrounded by us — exactly as we had hoped.
Dr. Warren is not only an exceptional physician but also a truly compassionate human being who brings light and humanity to one of life’s hardest passages. If you or your family are considering this option, I can say with full confidence that you will be in the very best hands with Dr. Kit Warren. Thank you, Doctor Warren, from the bottom of our hearts. ❤️
5.0Jun 15 2026 by Don Harris 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 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. My beautiful boy let me know it was his time on a Saturday morning. After multiple inquiries at different places, Dr. Courtney had the earliest availability for late afternoon on Sunday to come to the house to put my baby to sleep. This was an ideal time so my family and I could say our goodbyes and spend what time we had left with him together. She did offer to come earlier, if needed, but I kept the 4pm appointment. She arrived on time, was soft spoken, kind, compassionate, and took her time to explain the process, set clear expectations, and answer questions since this was our first experience with at-home euthanasia. She waited until we were ready before administering the sedative/anesthesia, and again with the medication to put him to final rest. She made his clay paw impression afterwards, so not to disturb him before since dogs typically don’t like their paws to be touched. And she then gave us time to privately be with him, and to let her know when we were ready for her to come back inside so she could place him on a stretcher to go in her car. We never felt rushed and he passed peacefully and overall a positive experience, given the circumstances, and gives me comfort during this difficult time. Incredibly grateful that my sweet boy was able to be in the comfort of his home surrounded by his loved ones.

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. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. McWreath and the compassionate care she provided as we said goodbye to our beloved dog, Remi.
This was one of the hardest days our family has ever experienced, but from the moment she arrived, Dr. McWreath treated Remi with incredible kindness, dignity, and respect. She took her time, explained every step of the process, and never made us feel rushed. Her calm, gentle presence brought a sense of peace during such a heartbreaking moment.
Being able to let Remi pass peacefully at home, surrounded by the people who loved him most, was an immeasurable gift. Dr. McWreath showed genuine empathy for both Remi and our family, and it was clear that caring for animals is more than her profession; it is her calling.
Although no one ever wants to need this service, I am profoundly grateful that Dr. McWreath was the one to guide us through it. She helped make an unimaginable goodbye as peaceful and loving as possible.
Thank you, Dr. McWreath, for treating our sweet boy with such compassion and for giving our family the precious gift of a dignified, peaceful farewell. We will never forget your kindness.
5.0Jun 15 2026 by Hailey Janosko 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. Such an amazing service. The thought of further traumatizing my already dying dog by taking them into a clinic was too much so they were referred by my veterinarian. I went with this service as they offered the most options for aftercare. Dr Bernard was kind, compassionate and thoughtful. She explained the process, and answered all our questions. So grateful.
5.0Jun 14 2026 by Gwen Perry We recently had to say goodbye to our sweet Ariel after 15 wonderful years, and choosing at-home euthanasia was one of the best decisions we could have made during such a difficult time.
Dr. Sarah Clem made the entire experience peaceful, compassionate, and comforting. She took her time, ensured everyone was comfortable, and never rushed us as we spent our final moments with our baby girl. Ariel was able to pass peacefully in the comfort of her own home, surrounded by the people who loved her most and her best friend, Pongo.
While saying goodbye was heartbreaking, Dr. Clem’s kindness and professionalism helped make an incredibly difficult day a little easier. We are so grateful that Ariel’s final moments were filled with love, comfort, and peace. Thank you, Dr. Clem, for helping us give our sweet girl the beautiful goodbye she deserved.
5.0Jun 15 2026 by Kristina Williamson 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. This service was a blessing when our beloved 18 year old Nico was sick. She was able to be in her favorite spot comfortable with loved ones in her final moments. We were able to make her comfortable and offer her calm at home in place of a car ride and being at an unfamiliar office. It was the last gift we could give her.
5.0Jun 14 2026 by Laura Humphreys Dr Litwack was wonderful. Our large sweet older girl went down and was unable to walk or get up and was stuck outside in the heat. He was able to rush right over. He was so compassionate and gentle. Treated my girl with love and care and made her passing so peaceful and painless, not only for her but for the family as well. He even made us a paw print to remember her by. Highly recommend Dr Litwick.
5.0Jun 14 2026 by melissa hughes 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. Codapet and Dr. April were incredible. They were so helpful and kind as we recently found out our 13 year old dog had cancer and needed to be put down. Codapet responded quickly to our request and Dr. April was able to comee the next day. She was a great, she was so kind, supportive and affirming with the tough decision we had to make. She explained the process, was thorough and gave us a lot of time just to be with our dog to say our goodbyes. We had a pretty traumatic experience with our first dog and this time around was 100x better. We are so grateful we found Codapet and Dr. April, we highly recommend them.
5.0Jun 14 2026 by Lissy Allegrotti & Quentin Bernhard III This service was a blessing to my daughter and I as well as our sweet dog in a very delicate time of need. It's well worth every penny spent and then some. Dr. Amy couldn't have been any sweeter and patient with us while we were in a very emotionally vulnerable place. We appreciated her so very much and were so thankful to have had her and this service. As hard as it is to say goodbye to your pet; we were so grateful to have had someone come to our home and help us when we all needed it most. Thank you again Amy. Well wishes to you
5.0Jun 15 2026 by Melissa Bachelder 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. All I really wanted was for my beloved cat, who was in extreme distress, to be relieved of his pain in a loving and supportive place: at home. By random circumstance, I found Dr. Carolyn Yang through CodaPet, and I will be forever grateful. Dr. Carolyn was deeply comforting, with such a tender and caring way of helping my cat find peace.
Highly recommended.
5.0Jun 14 2026 by Whirli Placebo 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. 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. Dr. Lauren was incredibly sensitive, thoughtful and caring throughout the whole process. She clearly and gently explained each of the steps and allowed us to take our time through each. While not a joyous event it was handled as best as it could be.
5.0Jun 15 2026 by Paul Blanchard Dr. Murray was incredibly compassionate, professional and a comfort during my goodbye to my soul dog. He explained everything clearly, and calmly, before and as it was happening, and did so with extreme care and consideration. The experience was as peaceful and beautiful as it could have been - my sweet boy said goodbye listening to the birds and the wind in the trees. I am grateful to Dr. Murray, for his clinical skills, and humanity, on a very sad day.
5.0Jun 14 2026 by Laura Dixon 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. 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. 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. Dr Christina was kind, respectful and empathetic at the very worst of times. We appreciated the care she took with our pups remains after his passing. Shes a special lady.
5.0Jun 15 2026 by Kathy Lezon Dr. Daniela Lutri was amazing. This was a really hard time for my family and she was very compassionate. She answered any questions thoroughly and described the process step by step. I would highly recommend Dr. Lutri to anyone who is struggling the process.
5.0Nov 12 2025 by Jonathan M. This is a difficult situation and process, but Amanda truly made everything as peaceful as possible. The care, compassion, and communication went beyond expectations. Thank you for offering this service and making an emotional situation much easier. Highly recommond.
5.0Jun 15 2026 by Joel Anglin 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. 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 used CodaPet for at home euthanasia for my beloved cat, Soda, who unfortunately became real sick with cancer. Dr. John Murray arrived & gave my partner & I plenty of time to say our final goodbyes. He was very kind and let me hold her in my arms for the euthanasia. It was such a pleasant experience and I'm grateful my girl was able to pass away peacefully in my arms, and inside the comfort of her home for the last 8 years. Dr. Murray walked us thru each step of the process & was extremely caring along the way. Once Soda was pronounced deceased, he took her away in a nice basket with blankets and was able to make & give me her pawprint & nose prints before he left. I would highly recommend Dr. Murray & CodaPet for anyone looking to have their pet pass peacefully in the place they know best. Thank you Dr. Murray & CodaPet for everything!
