Pet Euthanasia In Syracuse, NY

It is bittersweet sharing my in home pet euthansia experience online, but I know it might be incredibly helpful for another family. My family and I had to urgently euthanize our 11 year old Labrador Retriever but I couldn't bring myself to do it at the emergency vet. Knowing an at home euthansia experience would be better for me, my family, and my anxious dog, I was able to quickly and easily schedule online within a matter of minutes. I received a confirmation text and email, and a compassionate phone call from the providing veterinarian to confirm the appointment. The providing vet cared for our dog AND our family with respect, dignity, compassion, and professionalism. There were not any awkward conversations. After peacefully and quietly arriving to our home, the providing veterinarian offered a quick detail on what we could expect through the process. She offered us as much time as we needed and was able to answer our questions. She was quiet, patient, and moved efficiently. She was well-prepared, clean, and provided a human element of relief that we didn't know we needed. Her communication was up-front to let us know the timeline for the remains and was gentle with us throughout the entire process. Our entire family is incredibly thankful and grateful for the peace we received through one of the hardest days of our lives. I recommend Coda Pet without hesitation. If you are reading this for euthanization consideration, I am sorry for the pain you are feeling right now. Coda Pet can help make this pain one less stress for you and yoir family. Thank you, Coda Pet.

Our girl had liver cancer and after a long fight it was time to help her cross the rainbow bridge. We’re so very grateful that we went with CodaPet for our in home pet euthanasia. Though we’re very sad to see her go, we were thankful that she got to be home with us in her comfort and had a peaceful crossover. Dr.Nicole Michelli’s professionalism, empathy, and kindness in these difficult times will forever be remembered. Can’t recommend them enough if this is the unfortunate journey you find yourself in. 🫶 RIP My Pretty Kitty girl. 💕

Thank you to Dr Keri and all of CodaPet. Our sweet boy gets car sick and I didn't want him to feel anxious or rushed in his last moments. It was a very calm and peaceful experience. Dr Keri listened to us and to Miko throughout the whole process. I would recommend this route for anyone who has to say goodbye to their fur baby. Thank you again, it meant the world to us.

I have requested Dr. Karen Whala twice thus far ….9 more to go. Dr. Whala DVM is personable, understanding and compassionate. She is also the Co-Founder of CodaPet. Cats don’t get the same respect as dogs. Dr. Karen doesn’t minimize our loss. I personally feel like a fool when it comes time to euthanizing my cats. I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Karen Whala for a reason. But when she arrives, I can come up with endless excuses to keep my cat going. I think that at this point, Dr.Whala knows that she’s treating the client, not the patient. She gave me the option to have Kline euthanized or to continue administering pain medication to a cat that had seizures, wobbly cat syndrome and was losing his sight. Had I chosen to squeeze more life out of Kline, it would have cost me the price of an office visit - $100.00. I have had a lot of cats euthanized over the past 20 years. I even have injured community cats euthanized. I can give pet owners a comparison of what it’s like to have In Home Euthanasia versus taking your cat or dog to the PetER or animal hospital. Vets make mistakes. Dr. Karen Whala will not euthanize to euthanize. She is a second pair of eyes to look at your pet. Perhaps there’s an easy fix that was overlooked. Pet hospitals and PetER’s are busy. Vets are hopping from one patient to the next. They may have just had to euthanize a dog and not had time to process their feelings and now they are treating a kitty ear infection. If you are concerned about the cost to euthanize your cherished pet at home versus in home euthanasia, it’s not that much more. It’s better to grieve at home than to be sobbing uncontrollably as you are driving home. But most importantly——is the process. Dr. Karen fully sedates your cat before she administers the final injection. At a pet hospital, you may actually hear your cat crying out loud in pain because the vet technician is having difficulty putting the catheter in the paw. This is not a peaceful passing or dying with dignity and respect. I highly recommend Dr. Karen Whala DVM because she is thoughtful, caring and compassionate France Eilers

Dr. Sara was so kind and caring. She was patient and understanding. She recognized our need to just “be” with our sweet Jack a little while longer. She showed tons of love for Lil Jack. She gave us a safe space to “ugly cry” as we helped our sweet boy cross the rainbow bridge. Thank you, Dr. Sara for helping make one of the most painful things we’ve ever had to do hurt just a little less with your love and compassion for “furbabies” & their humans!

I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Laura. She came to our home to help us say goodbye to our 12 year old cat, and she was absolutely amazing. She explained exactly what was going to happen, was calm and professional, and so kind. She never rushed us and helped me cope through an incredibly painful moment. I’m deeply thankful for the compassion and respect she showed our cat and our family.
