Dr. Lara Allison provided us with the most compassionate experience we could have hoped for when saying goodbye to our sweet girl Ruby. What can you say about someone who took one of the worst days of your life and made it bearable with their loving kindness? We will be forever grateful. Our sweet Ruby was just 9 years old when she started acting differently, slowing down, loss of appetite, not her normal happy self. We brought her to our vet and after bloodwork and an ultrasound we learned that she had a sizable mass on her spleen. Lifesaving options were drastic and her prognosis for recovery was not good. We were devastated. Knowing that failing to put her through surgery, confinement, and likely chemotherapy her tumor would likely rupture and put necessitate getting her to an emergency vet where her odds of survival would have been dismal. The thought of putting her through this ordeal guided our decision to seek in home pet euthanasia. We had 2 previous dogs, our first was euthanized at the SPCA because we were away from home when his time came and no local vet could assist us. It was an awful, desperate situation. When our next dog reached her end we were fortunate to locate a vet who performed at home euthanasia and we were able to make arrangements for this service. Having experienced both at home and in office end of life services there is simply no question that allowing my pet to pass in their own home surrounded by loved ones is the only choice I would ever make. I was so grateful we were able to find Dr. Allison to help us with Ruby. The care she showed our family in our hour of need was extraordinary. Ruby was an amazing, loving dog and we feel that saying goodbye to her was sacred. Lara Allison treated us with the utmost kindness and respect. Three days have passed since we lost our sweet girl. We are still grieving her loss but we are comforted by the way we said goodbye. We shared happy memories of Ruby, while she nibbled on some of Lara's home made treats. We gently stroked her and comforted her with calm words, we let her know how much we loved her as she was falling to sleep. She locked my gaze as she drew her last breaths. Her final loving gaze will stay with me always. It was sacred.

Dr Rizzo was kind, compassionate and very helpful. She never made us feel rushed and explained everything to us in ways we understood. Our sweet fur baby never felt anxious or any pain. This was very peaceful for all of us. This was our first time using an “At Home Pet Euthanasia” vet and will always go this route moving forward

We needed to euthanize our golden retriever, as he continued to decline over the course of 2-3 weeks. He hadn’t eaten for 5 days and could barely stand up. So at 14 years and 4 months we made the hard decision. We didn’t want to subject him to any more stress or discomfort he was already feeling by taking him to a vet so we looked to see who could come to our house. The first call was to a local vet clinic whose web site said they would come to our house (our vet doesn’t provide that service). That vet would not do it since our dog wasn’t a client of theirs. So I went to Codapet. There were a few vets to choose from and I selected Dr Murray. Great choice as it turned out. He was kind, gentle, and patient. He explained what was happening every step of the way. He made a really hard thing to do a little easier. I’d highly recommend him.

Losing a beloved pet hurts so much. We are so thankful that we were able to do this in our own home. Not only did it eliminate any additional stress for our cat, it let us each grieve in our own way at our own pace in a safe place. Dr Caiti is fantastic. She was able to make time for us on very short notice, and she is extremely kind and considerate. She truly helped make a very hard situation manageable.

Dr Dykstra was professional and so kind. The night before she let me know my Rex could have chocolate around lunch time. It was a thoughtful gesture for me to treat my good boy one last time. This was a behavioral neutralization and I was feeling a lot of guilt. The doctor talked with me about why I made this decision and made this process easier. She allowed me and Rex to share his final moments on this world together. And Rex was not afraid. Thank you Dr Dykstra

Doc Benjamin Litwack was wonderful ! He was so gentle and thoughtful! He helped us in this difficult time that is so heart wrenching! He explained everything that he was doing, why he was doing it, and how long it would take. This In Home Pet Euthanasia is more humane than in a facility where our dog Macy always gets stressed. She was able to be in her own bed, in her home, with her family. i am so grateful to CodaPet and Doc Benjamin Litwack for helping us through this difficult time. Thank You, Karen & Carl

Dr Sanchez could not have been more professional and at the same time compassionate and supportive. We lost 2 dogs within a two month period and were devastated. Dr Sanchez made our losses bearable and any residual concern over making this decision quickly disappeared. I cannot imagine saying goodbye to one of our pets any other way.

We're so thankful Dr. Renee was there to help our sweet Felix cross the rainbow bridge. She was professional and respectful of our grief, our space (which included two young boys processing it all in their own way), and our other cat Mini. I have zero regrets about the in-home euthanasia process and I'm glad our Felix's suffering is over now so he can prowl infinite counter tops in the great beyond.

Dr. Jones went above and beyond to make a difficult time peaceful and meaningful for our family as we said our goodbyes to our sweet Yoshi. Her kindness and care was evident in all.she did. From asking about her life, what kind of dog she was, what her favorite things.were to providing a blanket for Yoshi and administering the euthanasia drug hidden under the blanket.We were able to have her next to me in her favorite spot on the couch, her head in my lap, and to let her and tell her how much we loved her until her last heartbeat. We were allowed private time to say our final goodbyes and Dr. Jones gently carried her away.

Dr Sarah was absolutely the best. She was kind, compassionate, understanding, soft spoken, and Tobi was very comfortable with her. She explained the process as she worked and waited patiently, asking us if we were ready for the next step. We were touched by the beautiful basket when she took him with her. And the cards and texts have been very personalized which we also love. Dr Clem went above and beyond our expectations.

Words cannot truly express how grateful I am for the deep kindness and dignity Dr. Tolbert provided during such a heartbreaking time. Saying goodbye to Riley was incredibly difficult, but having this service performed in the comfort of our own home made a world of difference. Dr. Tolbert showed immense respect, patience, and true empathy from the moment she arrived. I am forever grateful for the beautiful and gentle transition provided for my sweet Riley.

Sundance Kidd tore his knee and hip 9 months ago and finally his old age and time caught up. DR. McCasland took out all anxiety and stress of taking final care of my retired service dog at home in his own bed. Thank You!

Dr. Bean truly made our sweet boy’s passing into a peaceful and compassionate event, in the comfort of his favorite place in our home. No pet parent wants to lose their baby, but being able to have an in-home euthanasia eases heartbreak so much. I will be forever grateful that Dr. Bean was able to help us during the transition of our baby crossing that rainbow bridge. From the moment we reached out, Dr. Bean was gentle and understanding, and he helped us every step of the way— he called ahead of time to offer condolences, he explained the procedure, he made sure we were prepared and offered to help navigate in any way we needed, and he made the actual procedure as painless and peaceful for our boy. He also followed up several times after to offer resources, connect us with counselors, and tell us he was sorry for our loss. I can honestly say that he made a moment we were dreading into one that we will cherish forever.

I recently had to make the very difficult decision to put my girl to sleep and it only felt right for her to be comfortable at home. I work in the vet field and had the option to do this at my clinic but I just knew my girl would be so much more comfortable at home I had made the appointment for a Friday but her condition had worsened very quickly. She hadn't urinated in about 24 hours by Thursday morning. I contacted Dr. Rizzo expressing my concerns and she was nothing but compassionate and considerate during the worst day of my life. She had a full schedule for the day that ended at 8 that day and she STILL offered to see us at the end of her day. She got there a little before 9 pm. She explained the process to us and was very kind and compassionate through the entire process. She performs euthansias a litte differently than I am used to and she was so sweet and understanding when I expressed my concerns and she accomidated my requests to the best of her ability and I am so grateful for that. The whole process from booking online to the procedure itself was exactly as it should be for grieving pet parents. Easy. Thought free. Compassionate. Caring. Quick but with patience. I have been apart of and performed many euthanasias from working in the field but it's a completely different situation when you are on the other end. Dr. Rizzo knew I worked in the field and still showed me as much care and compassion as I know she shows every other client and patient of hers. My Bristol passed peacefully and surrounded by her family that night and I can't thank Dr. Rizzo enough for helping my girl. I would give her 10000 stars if I could. If you are having to make this difficult decision and are considering in home euthansia, I hope you are lucky enough to have Dr. Rizzo. Thank you for everything.

We lost our sweet pup this week. We didn’t realize how difficult that was going to be on us. Dr. Kim was so gracious and kind to us. She patiently walked us through the process and made absolutely sure there would be nothing more we could have done. Our dog was so comfortable with her, which made our hearts lighter. If needed this in home service is highly recommended. Thank you Dr. Kim!
