Melissa was wonderful. She was compassionate, caring and took her time and let us take our time too. She explained the process without being clinical and didn’t rush. She made an extremely difficult and sad process much more bearable for my family and I.
5.0Jun 01 2026 by Sean Farhy 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.

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. Lutri deserves a 10 out of 10! She was very caring, compassionate and highly skilled. Our dog did not suffer and the all the meds worked well and she passed away peacefully in good hands! Would 100% recommend Dr. Lutri to friends and family!! 🐕
5.0Oct 24 2025 by Allan 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. We are deeply grateful to Dr. Daniela for being so thoughtful and compassionate during one of the most difficult moments for our family. She took the time to comfort us, explained every step with patience, and treated our beloved dog, Summer, with such dignity and gentleness. We will always remember her kindness and thank her for helping our pet leave this world with peace, love, and respect.
5.0Oct 14 2025 by Jaslyn W. 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. 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 Renee Schott was amazing when we were faced with our unexpected in home pet euthanasia for our Stormy. She arrived on time, explained the entire process in detail and was very compassionate and empathetic. We would highly recommend her and CodaPet. Such a wonderful and personal alternative to the cold tile floors of a vet clinic. No stress and allowed much time to grieve. As awful as the situation always is, this is totally the best way to go. We would highly recommend. AAA+++++
5.0May 30 2026 by Mark & Alicia Stovern 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. How do I even start?
One of the hardest decisions we come to in life... Is this the end for my baby?
After seeing a decline in over all happiness and health with my Yinza girl. I had to make one of the hardest decisions I have made in a long time. I asked my husband should if we have someone come to our home or should I take her to the vet clinic to say our final good bye? After discussing, we both decided that we prefer to have Dr. Amy come to our home. I scheduled the appointment online and honestly dreaded the days to come. I took off work and spent the whole day with my baby, knowing in a few short hours I would be devastated with the loss of our packs matriarch.
The appointment was quickly approaching. Dr. Amy reached out to let us know she would arrive soon.
Then the time came. I walked my girl out to meet her so she would feel safe with someone being in our home she didnt know. We walked inside and Dr. Amy gave us an overview of the whole process.
The time finally arrived...
What felt like a few mins was over all a 2 hour process. She insisted we take our time, as she knows this is a hard thing to experience in life, saying a final good bye to your loved one. I have never used at home euthanasia. But knowing this service is out here for us to use, I will 100% use this in the future if needed for my other fur kids.
I cant thank Dr. Amy enough for doing what she does and offering this service. My husband and I are grateful that we did schedule for our girl to cross the rainbow bridge from the peace and quiet of our home.
Thank you Dr. Amy for offering this service.
Thank you for allowing me to have all the time needed to say goodbye to my baby.
It was a pleasure meeting you, givin the circumstances.
5.0Jun 01 2026 by Brittany Simpson 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. There aren't enough words to share how compassionate and kind Dr. Devlin is. He helped myself and 2 boys go through the unimaginable ...losing our fur family member. If you have the opportunity to have someone come to your home I highly recommend CodaPet and Dr. Devlin.
5.0Jun 01 2026 by Amy Nelsen Dr. Alexandria Bufford was very professional and kind. She came to our home same day, on a Sunday night when my dog took a turn for the worst. She even hand delivered his remains after. I would recommend her services. She was very helpful during a difficult time.
One of the hardest experiences and decisions me and my family has had to make, Dr Karen made this the easiest time something like this could have gone. Very grateful for how helpful and understanding she was!
5.0May 31 2026 by Jacob Medrano Dr. Sarah was very compassionate. She explained the process and gave us time with our beloved Charlie. Charlie's passing was dignified and peaceful. It was very difficult for my husband and I, but we are so thankful for Dr. Sarah and her compassion.
5.0May 29 2026 by Blanca Kinnemore 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 Loghmiller made accommodations to help us with ChowChow on a holiday weekend. Chiwchows are stoic and he was handling his pain so well until it just was severe that weekend. I was so thankful she was able to come two days before the appointment beacause he was suffering and could not hide it anny longer and the meds we had just were not enough anymore and his dementia was intense due to that pain.. She made the unbearable bearable and now we are adjusting slowly to him being gone. He was 16 + so it’s a big miss for us. He was truly my best friend and when he started to get dementia a couple years ago I became his main person. The house hold is just never going to be the same now. But at least I know he isn’t suffering. He was able to leave the world in peace and that is a much better last memory of our good baby . Thank you for making that possible and having such a great bedside manner and handling everything with care. We appreciate you more than you know. Even though we only met you for half an hour and barely said a few words I felt la hundred spirit there. With sincere appreciation, GB
5.0May 29 2026 by Georgina Burker This was the first time we ever used an at home euthanasia and Dr. Mary Juber is a literal angel and came highly recommended and we can see why. She helped make one of the worst days just a bit more easier to bare. We had to let go of our fur baby Izzy on April 15th as Izzy let us know it was time for her to pass. Dr. Mary Juber was more than accommodating with an emergency visit for our baby girl as she had been battling brain cancer for quite a while. She explained everything and made us and our fur baby as comfortable as possible and allowed our baby girl to pass peacefully, as pain fee as possible and with the utmost care and love. I can not recommend her enough if you ever need a service such as this. She even came prepared with treats and ready to help us have a keep sake of our babies fur which we didnt even think of. She was also an extremely calm and quiet presence which is what is needed in a time such as this. Thank you so much Dr. Mary Juber the world needs more caring people like you!
5.0May 31 2026 by Victoria Parmentier 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. Jenny K was very attentive, fully explaining the process when we had questions pertaining to putting our 13yr old 75lb black lab mix to sleep due to cancer. She came fully prepared with a lot of wet and soft treats to calm him when administering the sedative. Our family took some time to say our final goodbyes to our good boy and were able to take some fur as a keepsake. We opted for communal cremation, his remains with other pets will be mixed into an artificial reef eventually. It was a good way to go, home and comfortable surrounded by his people.
5.0May 31 2026 by Erica Fletcher When we got our dog, Dr. Benedetto was our first choice when choosing a vet for our pup. You cannot find a better veterinarian/caregiver! Love Dr. Benedetto and cannot say enough wonderful things about her! She handles patients with the utmost care and has a gentle demeanor. She treated our dog like she was her own, and provided us her honest opinions & expertise.

Dr Josh was extremely compassionate and kind when he came into our home to put our baby to rest. I have never had to go through euthanasia for a pet before, and I was nervous about the procedure itself. Dr Josh has a much more gentle and merciful approach with euthanasia. I myself am having a hard time processing my baby leaving this world. Dr Josh deserves this recognition thank you for coming into our home and being easy with our heart and soul.

5.0May 29 2026 by Kattey Elser 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.

5.0Mar 15 2026 by Jordan D. Kind, caring, brought treats for my dog and comforted him through the whole process. Couldn’t ask for a better vet to come and help ease our dogs pain and our minds. Thank you 🙏
5.0May 29 2026 by southjersrey strangler 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. 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. 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. 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. Keri Wasmoen was very good during the whole procedure and gave us plenty of time with our dog when she was comfortable and asleep. The whole procedure was done professionally and peacefully.
5.0Jun 01 2026 by Quinton Natzel 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. Le Blanc was very kind and reassuring that we were making the right decision. I really appreciated her empathy. She was professional but compassionate.
5.0May 31 2026 by beverly lavin On one of the worst days, this made it so much better. Worth every single penny and more. Dr. Matthew was extremely professional, calming, and caring for my dog and myself in our last moments together. I have already shared this service to all of my friends because I was so impressed and I feel it was the best way to help your pet’s last moments be the best they could.
5.0May 30 2026 by Marianna Steele When our beloved cat Lily's health declined very quickly, we found ourselves needing to make a difficult decision and arrange an at-home euthanasia appointment on short notice. We were so grateful that Dr. Cory was available.
From the moment she arrived, she was kind, patient, and compassionate. She never made us feel rushed and gave us all the time and space we needed to say goodbye. Although we were absolutely heartbroken, she made a devastating day feel as peaceful as possible.
The little details meant so much. The basket and decorated car trunk were such a thoughtful and beautiful way to honor our sweet girl. She even sent us a sympathy card afterward, which was an incredibly kind gesture.
We are beyond thankful for the care Dr. Cory showed Lily and our family. It was worth every penny, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to any pet parent facing one of the hardest parts of loving a pet.
5.0Jun 01 2026 by Alina Soler 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. 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. Delia come to my apartment to help me say goodbye to my boy Lucas and five stars doesn’t seem like enough. She was kind and spoke calmly as she explained the process. She was gentle with Lucas and let me set the pace for saying goodbye. She gave me privacy at the end and when I was ready, she carefully placed Lucas in a wooden box lined with comfy quilts so she could transport him with love and respect. I highly recommend her!
5.0May 29 2026 by Carol Dibert This was my first time doing it in-home. Dr. Keri was incredibly respectful, empathetic, and stoic.
When she arrived, we reviewed the situation and she gently walked us through an overview of the steps. She never forced her thoughts or opinions on us. Only listened and showed us respect and empathy.
She provided us more information as we took each step and gave us all the time we needed. We never felt rushed.
Dr. Keri showed us absolute respect and kindness and I am so appreciative for the difficult service she was able to provide.
