Making the decision to say goodbye to our precious golden retriever of 11 years may be the hardest, most emotional decision we have ever made. Once we learned he had cancer, the prognosis was not good and it could not be treated, We began discussing options and knew we wanted him to be as comfortable as possible for his last hours.
We learned about CodaPet from a brochure at our vet’s office. Looking back, It was as if an angel reached out. Saying goodbye at home was the BEST decision we made. And Dr Rob Devlin was everything we needed in this moment.
Appointments are easy and availability is soon, per our experience.
From the time he pulled into our driveway, he was a personable, calm, compassionate doctor in his expertise. Our dog immediately welcomed him into our home and was at ease. Dr Rob took the time to explain the procedure. He made sure our dog was comfortable. He gave us plenty of time alone to give all the hugs, say goodbye and cry - all the tears. The procedure was gentle and peaceful.
We had decided to cremate and return his ashes home. Dr Rob took our dog with him, with dignity, wrapped in a cozy blanket to the crematory.
We have now received him back in our home.
The entire process was smooth, comforting and we cannot say enough good words.
For anyone facing this decision, we are so sorry. It is heartbreaking. Our experience with CodaPet and especially Dr Rob Devlin was all we could have hoped. 💖
