Review for Dr. Mills – Codapet When we had to make the heartbreaking decision to let our elderly, ill dog Coco go, Dr. Mills from Codapet was truly exceptional. She arrived with compassion, patience, and a calming presence that made an unbearable moment a little easier. Her gentle care ensured our dog’s final moments were peaceful, dignified, and full of love. She explained everything clearly, gave us time to say goodbye, and treated our pet as if he were her own. We are deeply grateful for Dr. Mills’ professionalism and kindness. She is not only an outstanding veterinarian, but also a compassionate soul who understands the bond between pets and their families. Thank you, Angela Ali

Dr. Poole was wonderful. She was very caring and didn't rush the process. I have already recommended her to a friend who may need her services in the near future.

I don't normally ugly cry in front of people the first time I meet them, but Dr. Murray was a rock and a comfort on one of the worst nights of my life. He came as an emergency to help ease my 14 year old dogs pain. He was so kind and patient. He made sure we knew what was happening, what was going to happen, and what we needed to do after. I didn't have to worry about any of the specifics, or the arrangements, I was allowed to grieve my best friend without anything else weighing on my mind. That alone was priceless.

Saying goodbye to a beloved pet is one of the most heartbreaking experiences anyone can face. During such a difficult and emotional time, we were fortunate to have Dr. Bradbeer who showed extraordinary kindness, compassion, and genuine care. Their gentle manner, patience, and understanding brought comfort during a moment filled with sadness. They treated our beloved companion with dignity, tenderness, and respect, ensuring their final moments were peaceful and filled with love. There are simply no words to fully express our gratitude for the compassion shown to both our pet and our family. It takes a truly special person to help others through such a painful goodbye with so much grace and kindness. Thank you for making one of the hardest days of our lives a little easier to bear. Your kindness will never be forgotten. ❤️

Dr Jessica was warm, sincere and very compassionate with our dog Jak, and our family. She kept us up to date on her arrival and described the process. She was thoughtful snd did not rush the process. She exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Dr Jessica and Coda Pet.

I cannot say enough about Dr Butler. From the moment o booked until the moment Dr Butler lovingly took our pup to aftercare, I felt like we were in good hands. The communication was amazing. The compassion and care she showed will forever be impressed on heart. Dr. Butler cared for our family as much as she did our Yasha. She was professional, kind, and informative. We felt confident as she led us through this difficult time. We are so grateful for the care the provided for our family.
