This is the second time I had Dr. Lutri come to our home for our beloved dog to pass over the rainbow in the comfort of her home . She is simply the best !! I can’t recommend her enough. The fact that it was 2 yrs ago when we first met her and she remembered the small details of that day as if it was yesterday . That shows you what an Amazing , compassionate Vet she is. Thank you again Dr. Lutri !! ~Gloria Rogers

Dr. Germundson was very caring and sympathetic to our situation. She was very kind and didn’t rush us or precious us in anyway. We highly recommend her.

A Compassionate and Dignified Goodbye for Our Beloved Bruno.🫶😢 Our 13-year-old German Shepherd, Bruno, had reached the point where it was time for him to go run with the dogs of Heaven. He had been our loyal companion and a deeply loved member of our family for many years. We could not bear the thought of his final moments taking place in a cold, unfamiliar veterinary room. We wanted him to be at home, surrounded by the people who loved him, in the place where he felt safest. Dr. Randolph came to our home on Saturday, July 25, to help Bruno pass peacefully. He arrived on time, was extremely professional, and showed an extraordinary amount of compassion—not only toward our family, but toward Bruno as well. Dr. Randolph sat on the floor with us for nearly 45 minutes, talking with us and learning about Bruno and just how special he was. He took the time to make Bruno feel calm and comfortable, and he never once made us feel rushed. He treated Bruno with gentleness, dignity, and genuine care throughout the entire process. After Bruno passed, Dr. Randolph stepped outside and allowed us to have a few private moments with him. When he returned, he continued to move entirely at our pace. At our request, he carefully saved some of Bruno’s fur and created a casting of his paw. To our surprise, the paw casting was placed in a beautiful display case, making it an especially meaningful keepsake. Although we were initially told it could take several weeks for Bruno’s remains to be returned, he was brought back to us in only nine days. His ashes were placed in a beautiful urn, and we also received paw prints, nose prints, and a lovely certificate honoring his life. The cost of at-home euthanasia is higher than a traditional veterinary-office visit, but the peace, dignity, love, and compassion Dr. Randolph provided were worth every penny. Bruno did not have to endure the stress of a car ride or spend his final moments in an unfamiliar environment. Instead, he passed peacefully in his own home, surrounded by love. There is no price that can be placed on being able to say goodbye to a beloved family member with such dignity. For anyone struggling with how to help a cherished four-legged companion pass peacefully, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Randolph and CodePet At-Home Pet Euthanasia. We will always be grateful for the kindness, patience, and compassion shown to Bruno and our entire family during one of the most difficult moments of our lives.

We had to say goodbye to our boy Joe and Dr. Warren was incredibly compassionate and supportive throughout the entire process. He took the time to explain everything, answer our questions, and regularly checked in with us to make sure we were doing okay. We were given plenty of time to say goodbye to our boy, and Dr. Warren handled all of the final arrangements with such care and compassion, allowing us to focus on Joe and each other during such a difficult time. I cannot recommend Dr. Warren highly enough. We are incredibly grateful for the kindness and dignity he showed both our boy and our family.

Dr. Allison was so extremely kind and caring. She answered all of my questions ahead of time, kept in contact to let me know the status of where Sadie was afterward in moving her to be aquamated, and when she was ready to come home. She made the experience extremely calm and has been so very very kind. Sadie’s passing was peaceful and loving. Sadie never enjoyed strangers much, but Dr. Allison made all of us comfortable. She got down on the floor with me while I held Sadie and explained everything that was going to happen. She let me make decisions and had so much empathy. She even sent me a hand-written sympathy card. Thank you so much.

Saying goodbye to our Rambo was the hardest choice we ever faced. Dr. Heather White came to our home and showed so much grace. She made us feel safe and cared for. She guided us through every step with a gentle touch. We are forever grateful. We strongly recommend her to any family facing this painful time.
