I hope you have 10 people just like Dr. Stadler. She is so professional, thoughtful and kind. She made a very difficult transition so much easier. I hope for the sake of your company you have 10 people just like her. I have recommended her to everyone I know.
I cannot express enough the gratitude I feel for Dr. Lisa Feig. It was heart wrenching knowing I had to say goodbye to my precious Dottie before she began to suffer. We loved her so much. With that said, Dr. Lisa Feig made the experience so much easier and peaceful for our sweet girl. I knew Dottie was not in pain and crossed over in the most peaceful way. Dr. Feig is the most compassionate, caring, thoughtful doctor anyone could ask for. Anyone who has Dr. Feig in their life as wife, mother, daughter, friend--is an extremely lucky person. She was so giving of her time and patience. I recommend at home euthanasia to everyone. Having your loved one home, comfortable in their surroundings is really the best option. I hated the idea of her being at a hospital or vet clinic in a sterile environment. I got to hold her and tell her how pretty she was and how loved she was. And all the while, Dr. Feig demonstrated such genuine compassion. My fiancé and I were blown away. It takes a special person to do this type of job. And Dr. Lisa Feig more than meets that requirement. A million thanks to her and Coda Pet.
Dr. Matthew was so kind, compassionate and professional, helping make this difficult time just a little easier. We sincerely appreciate the fact that we were all able to be with Dusty, including his brother Smokey, and surround him with love. Thank u, Dr. Matthew and Codapet for making that possible. 💕
Dr. Delia could not have been more compassionate in her work with me and my dog. Her presence, gentleness and pacing all contributed to a peaceful process at this heartbreaking time. Would recommend her to anyone facing the same situation.
Dr. Dzierga made the saddest, most difficult time more than bearable for us. She explained all she was doing every step of the way, but most importantly she treated our dog with all the love and respect that we felt she deserved. She gave us the time we needed to say goodbye, she was kind and caring. This was our first in-home experience, and we wouldn’t do it any other way now. We felt blessed to have Dr. Dzierga with us on this saddest journey, and would highly recommend her to anyone facing this difficult decision.
Genuinely cannot recommend this service and Dr. Murray enough. Making that hard decision and saying goodbye to our Luna was extremely difficult… But having the option to keep her comfortable, where she felt the safest (her corner on the couch) during her last moments meant everything to us and felt like the very least we could do after the 12 years she gave us. Dr. Murray was extremely compassionate and thorough, explaining the whole process beforehand, as well as during each step. Our family can be a lot to handle at times so i especially appreciate how he was able to adapt to our dynamic in a way that didn’t feel forced. I don’t wish the heartache on anyone… but when that time does unfortunately come, I cannot recommend Dr. Murray enough.
