Dr. Phillips is an angel here on Earth. She was so compassionate and gentle. I am thankful I found her. I highly recommend Dr. Phillips.
When we got our dog, Dr. Benedetto was our first choice when choosing a vet for our pup. You cannot find a better veterinarian/caregiver! Love Dr. Benedetto and cannot say enough wonderful things about her! She handles patients with the utmost care and has a gentle demeanor. She treated our dog like she was her own, and provided us her honest opinions & expertise.
Dr. Lisa Fieg was exactly the person we needed on one of the hardest days of our lives. Our beloved cat Miles let us know that he was ready, and Lisa came to our home on a Sunday to help us say goodbye. From the moment she arrived, she was incredibly kind, calm, and compassionate. She explained everything to us without rushing us and treated Miles with such gentleness and respect. She made sure he was comfortable on his favorite pouf, tucked him into a blanket, and gave us all the time we needed with him. She even helped us understand how to give our other cat, Colin, a chance to say goodbye to his friend. Afterward, she placed Miles in a beautiful basket she had brought for him, and when she carried him to her car, she had another blanket and flowers waiting for him. That small detail meant more to me than I can explain. It felt like she understood that he wasn’t just a pet we were losing. He was our boy. We will always be grateful for the kindness, dignity, and tenderness she showed Miles in his final moments, and for the compassion she showed us as we said goodbye. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to help him peacefully leave this world.
I can’t say enough about Dr.Todd. Our fur baby was at the end of her life and Dr.Todd came to our house to put our baby to sleep. It made it easier for Cali to be comfortable. Dr.Todd was very patient and gave us as much time as we needed to say goodbye. I’d recommend CodaPet and DrTodd to anyone wanting their fur baby to be comfortable and at home. We rescued Cali from the local shelter in September 2012. Cali was the best dog ever.
Dr. Novik was kind and compassionate when it was time to say goodbye to my little girl, Biscuits. She crossed the Rainbow Bridge in a peaceful and dignified manner and I am forever grateful.
We are so grateful for Dr. Crozier. Being able to say goodbye at home, with her gentle and unhurried care, made an incredibly hard day feel calm and dignified. We can’t thank her enough for the compassion she showed our cat and our whole family.
