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.
I couldn’t have found a better person than Dr. Michelli from CodaPet to bring our baby her forever nap. This was the first time ever having to do this and she told us everything to be expected and was so kind and compassionate to us and Sable. Thank you Dr. Michelle and CodaPet for bringing our doggie peace and making this difficult task just a little bit easier. I’m so glad we decided to have this done at home in her safe place rather than then at the veterinary office where she typically has anxiety.
In my life I have been blessed to have a few dogs. Saying goodbye is part of the price we pay. Dr. Gordon made this horrible time easier. I will be eternally grateful for the kindness and compassion she showed not only our precious Baby Girl but also us.
We are so grateful that Dr. Courtney White was available to us, last minute nonetheless. We were able to say goodbye to our precious boy Radar in his favorite spot in our backyard. Dr. White was so kind and compassionate, explaining the process as it progressed, allowing us to make the decisions we could. She truly understood the bond we had with our boy. We will cherish the memory of him forever ❤️
Dr. Mills is an absolute angel. During this most difficult time her compassion was incredible. We thank her from the bottom of our hearts. She is an incredible blessing.
Dr. Lisa made herself available for a last-minute urgent call for us and she couldn’t have been more lovely and caring. This is obviously a challenging and sad time for anyone in the position to call. She treated it with reverence and kindness. Feel lucky to have had her.
We suddenly found ourselves in an unbearable situation with our 17-year-old dog, Teddy. His health declined so quickly, and we had to rush to find someone who could help us say goodbye at home. Thankfully, we were able to book an appointment with Dr. Lisa. She came to our house with such humility, patience, and compassion. She listened as we cried and asked a million questions, gently reassuring us that we were doing the right thing for our sweet boy. She never rushed us, she gave us the space and time we needed to say goodbye. As heartbreaking as it was, Teddy passed peacefully and comfortably in our arms. Dr. Lisa treated him with love, dignity, and respect, and made sure he was safely transported for cremation. She even followed up with us afterward to reassure us he had arrived where he needed to go. Losing Teddy has been one of the hardest things we’ve ever gone through, but we have no regrets choosing Dr. Lisa. She gave our boy the most loving, gentle passing we could have hoped for.
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. Josh is a blessing to anyone that faces the very difficult decision to let their pet go. Home euthanasia was the perfect option for my girl Maddie. She was extremely fearful of strangers and Dr. Josh was sensitive to that and gave me the option to give Maddie her sleeping medication before he came into the home as not to cause her any stress. Dr. Josh was supportive and empathetic allowing Maddie and I to spend our goodbye time in a loving and caring environment. Dr. Josh was a gift I will always cherish and an important part of Maddies life story. When it is time, and you are considering home euthanasia, please don't hesitate with your decision to invite Dr. Josh into your home to assist in your goodbye journey. I shall remain forever grateful.
Dr. Perret was very kind as he helped my dear Abby-Jo cross the rainbow bridge. He took great care and compassion to explain the procedure and even though it was a sad day, it was made easier by his thoughtful and gentle professionalism. I couldn’t have asked for a better vet, and the fact that he came all the way to my home where Abby wouldn’t be scared or placed under any undue stress meant the absolute world to me. I highly recommend Dr. Perret.
Dr. Delia is truly one of the most amazing people I have ever met. She gave us peace of mind by answering all of our questions and throughly explaining what our baby girl was experiencing. We are so happy that our Mira was surrounded by love and comfort in her final moments.
Saying goodbye to our beloved dachshund Lily was one of the most painful moments of our lives, but thanks to Dr. Lisa Stadler with CodaPet, it was also one of the most peaceful and compassionate. Dr. Lisa, a retired veterinarian, brought a gentle presence and deep empathy into our home—qualities that made an unbearable day a little more bearable. Her kindness and professionalism helped guide my wife and me through the process with grace and dignity. We are overwhelmingly grateful that Lily was able to pass in the comfort of her home, surrounded by the space and the things she loved most. Holding her in my arms as she went peacefully was a blessing I will never forget. The communication with CodaPet was seamless, and scheduling the appointment was simple—something I deeply appreciated during such an emotionally difficult time. I cannot recommend CodaPet and Dr. Lisa more highly. Their service was not just professional—it was personal, compassionate, and deeply respectful. Thank you for being part of Lily’s journey, and ours. You will forever hold a place in our hearts.
Dr. Kim was an absolute angel! She made the passing of our sweet Belle (15 year old blue tick) so much easier. Her compassion and just overall presence during such a hard time was so comforting. I will be recommending the at home service to anyone I know who has an elderly dog.
Dr Murray was the kindest vet we could have asked for. He was gentle and compassionate with our pup and our family. Can’t imagine a better way for our baby to go out. Being with her in our home where she was relaxed and happy to be with her humans. Thank you.
The form for the service was very easy to complete. I appreciated this since making this decision was very difficult and I was fraught with emotion. I wanted my beloved cat Buddy to have a pain free transition at our home. He was 18 years. His decline was rapid; he became extremely ill in the span of a week with advanced kidney disease. Dr. Lutri was so gentle and loving to Buddy. She explained every step of the process and asked me before each step if I was ready to move to the next. Dr. Lutri was gracious, kind, and compassionate. She has the most peaceful, calm, loving presence and a profound caring for the pets she serves and their pet guardians. She comforted me greatly as she took care of my magnificent boy. She genuinely understood the magical connection I had with Buddy and treated him so tenderly when she put his sweet body into a beautiful bed to transport him the the crematorium. I felt like Dr. Lutri was an angel sent to me in my dire time of need and loss. She was exceptional in every way. She is a talented doctor overflowing with empathy and understanding who is beautiful inside and out.
Dr. Becca and her assistant were warm and professional, providing comfort during one of the hardest days I've had in a long time. They were communicative, thoughtful, kind and helped my dog transition in a peaceful, loving manner. Cannot thank them enough.
Dr Kristen was so kind and gentle. Our Nova loved her immediately and felt at ease with her which made all of us feel so much better. She put us at ease and made the whole experience so much better.
She was amazing, kind, loving and gentle with my precious Sophie. It was a very, very difficult time, and she was so thoughtful and understanding. I miss my beautiful little Tuxedo Sophie cat. Thank you Dr. Ayala for your love of animals. It showed.
Best decision ever. While my heart is broken, this option of a kind, gentle passing in our home, with no anxiety for my sweet girl was a blessing for both of us. Dr. Gibson was so sweet and compassionate. It is obvious she was born to do exactly this. Her respect for my baby was so comforting. I won't ever go a different route again.
The veterinarian was very compassionate and explained everything well. I certainly miss my Eli. He was more than a dog to me, he was my best friend.
It was really the best choice I ever made for good 'ol dog Bennie at 19.5 years old. Not only could the closest people to him be close to him in the comfort of his home, but his other fur friends could be there with him as well so they could understand why he left. It was a very peaceful passing and I couldn't thank Dr. Martin enough for his kind and passionate care for my beloved Bennie.
Jessica was so patient, compassionate, and gracious during a very difficult time. She explained everything thoroughly and made sure that we were in agreement with every step of the process. She spoke to our Gus as if she knew him and how special he was.
Dr. Norman was wonderful in helping our pet pass away peacefully at home. She was professional, compassionate and genuinely kind. We would highly recommend Dr. Norman and CodaPet for those looking for in home euthanasia services.
Dr. Mitchell was wonderful. She was very caring with our pet and our family durning a difficult time. I would highly recommend Dr. Mitchell.
Dr. Stukey was so amazingly kind, patient, and caring! She created such a gentle way to say goodbye during a very difficult experience. If you are finding yourself at the tough position of having to say goodbye to a beloved pet, she is the vet to help your loved one cross the bridge. ♥️
Dr. Katie was amazing! She handled everything so professionally yet personally too. Ruger will be so missed by many (as she can attest to, she said it was the biggest crowd she'd had, there were 9 of us) and I will never take my pets to a cold impersonal clinic to pass if I can help it. Having your pet pass at home where they're comfortable and familiar was such a blessing!
I cannot begin to express our gratitude for the skilled, loving and compassionate care that Dr. Delia gave to Gabby and to us last Friday. She was at our home within three hours of my booking the appointment. She lovingly reassured our Gabby that she was going to help her and carefully explained everything that she would be doing. Gabby gently fell asleep in my arms. After Gabby was gone we walked her to Dr. Delia’s car together . Everything is taken care of for us; all arrangements are made and we’ll receive Gabby’s ashes to keep with us shortly. We are heartbroken, but able to look back on this most difficult of days with less pain knowing that Gabby went so peacefully, within a few hours after her legs failed her, in her familiar surroundings surrounded by love. Thank you Codapet and Dr. Delia!
Dr. Crozier was amazing. She helped us get thru a really hard day. She took the time to not only get to know Georgia but our family as well. She was so kind and patient . She talked us thru every step. Most importantly, Georgia was never scared. That all I wanted was for her to not be pain or know what was going on. Georgia just drifted off to sleep peacefully. I highly recommend Dr Crozier if you have to make the hard decision to euthanize
This was an extremely difficult decision to make, even though we knew it was the right one. Dr.Delia assured us that the symptoms & body movements that Georgie was making, were indicative of end of life. She was extremely respectful and explained what the experience would be like for our cat. She was thorough in her explanation of the actual process, but also took the time to not rush us and treated us & Georgie with great care & dignity. As hard as it was to say goodbye, it was lovely that he wasn’t in pain or afraid in his final moments.
Dr Schmillen is very kind and compassionate. My sweet pup passed in August. My other pup, who was her daughter, passed in December. I am grateful this was able to happen at home where they felt safe and comfortable. I would recommend Dr. Schmillen to anyone.
Dr. Mumm was very compassionate and empathetic. She thoroughly explained the process and what we should expect. Dr. Mumm made the extremely difficult decision to send my beloved pet to “Rainbow Bridge” an easier one. Thank you, Dr.Mumm.
Dr. Pilago showed so much care and compassion when we had to make the painful decision to put our handsome pup Rodney to sleep. I highly recommend her.
Dr. Peterson provided compassionate, gentle care during one of the hardest moments of my life. She came to our home and treated Akora with such dignity, patience, and kindness, allowing her to pass in the place she was most comfortable. She explained every step with calm reassurance, never rushed us, and held space for our grief in a way that felt deeply human. Her presence brought comfort during a moment that could have been overwhelming and traumatic, and instead felt tender, respectful, and loving. I am grateful to Dr. Peterson for helping Akora cross with peace and grace, and for showing such care. I recommend her to anyone facing this impossible decision and wanting their beloved companion treated with the utmost compassion.
We decided to use CodaPet when it was time for us to make that decision for our sweet 14 year old St Bernard, Fiona. It was the best thing we could have done. Dr Jason Doolittle made sure the experience was peaceful and went at a pace we were comfortable with. He explained in detail everything that would happen and was very gentle with Fiona. Thank you for providing a service that allows our fur family to go peacefully in their homes surrounded by comforting faces and love.
Dr. Becca and her assistant Morgan were so kind and professional. This was the 1st time we helped a pet cross the rainbow so we didn't know what to expect but really needed to help our dog ease his way. Dr. Becca explained the process in a kind and gentle manner, it helped to feel their experienced knowledge. They addressed our dog in a personal manner and noted his cute special features, it was like talking to another pet owner. We were able to share anecdotes of our dog which made it feel like we were celebrating his beautiful life. They gave us plenty of private time to be with him before he was eased through the process. I felt like our dog was in the best hands when Dr. Becca swaddled our dog in a blanket and carried him away for cremation. After a beautiful life with us, Dr. Becca & Morgan's kindness and experience helped our 15+ yr. old dog Jimmy's life come in full circle. They came back in a week with the beautiful urn we chose with Jimmy's name engraved on it, and the paw print that was unexpectedly meaningful to me. They were so kind to bring flowers to honor Jimmy and saved us locks of his fur that I requested, after forgetting to clip some myself. I highly recommend Dr. Becca and Morgan to anyone in this difficult time. I am so grateful and feel at ease for how Jimmy crossed his rainbow. Thank You.
Kind,caring,understanding, compassionate,patient and professional. These are just a few words to describe Dr. DuBose. She explained everything in detail about the entire process. She let us take our time deciding when to start,and when to move forward to the next step. She loved on Dixie like she was one of hers. She treated Dixie with care, love and respect. I have nothing bad to say about any of our experience with Dr. DuBose.
M y prayers for my sweet aging pup Trixie always included a request that God continue to grant her a peaceful life and when the time came a perfect end. Dr. Bruker’s compassion for animals and their owners, and respect for the moment at hand was evident from the instant he arrived at our home, knelled down on the floor to Trixie, and quickly befriended her. His process was unobtrusive and gentle and gave us time to love her, assure her, and say goodbye to her. She passed calmly and peacefully. Thank you Dr. Bruker for respectfully and compassionately bringing Trixie’s long life to that perfect end.
The team at CodaPet made all the difference in the world. The process was smooth and they were readily available to answer any questions. Dr. Katie Simpson was so considerate, gentle, and kind. She and her team made what was a very hard day a little bit better.
Dr. Sara Gardhaouse has an amazing aura about her. In such an Emotinal time she radiates warmth and kindness to help ease the situations hardness. I would gladly refer this company to help with the passing of any fur baby in their own home.
Dr. Delia Gregory-Macdonald is an angel on Earth. The time came to put down our 13 year old family dog. I wanted this to be done in the familiar comfort of our home. Dr Delia came to our house shortly after I reached out. She was kind and compassionate and made Mia’s transition calm, pain free and peaceful. She is an amazing human and is excellent at what she does. I am so grateful. Thank you so much Dr Delia.
Such a great experience, during such a difficult event. Dr. Anna Peterson was incredible. So kind, kept things light, and was so skilled. Thank you!
Dr. Gonnering was so patient and compassionate at a very difficult time. I felt Cubby Boo had the best care possible at home where he was comfortable. I am grateful to her.
Dr. Katie Todd was so kind and informative. She explained the process and answered all of our questions. Our sweet girl is at peace and out of pain and I couldn't have asked for a better experience for her.
Very compassionate and gentle with my dog. She explained every step what she was doing and what was happening. Treated my dog with love and care. Thank you for your service. Would highly recommend anytime!
Dr Littlejohn was extremely caring and understanding about everything we were going through…I truly appreciated having been able to go through this difficult time at home …which she made possible
Dr. Andrea was the exact person I needed with me for my cat's emergency euthanasia appointment. She was kind, empathetic, and calm, even when I was a sobbing mess. She explained every single step of the process - what I would see, how it would affect my cat and what to expect. Everything was done on my timeline, when I was ready. It was wonderful having someone so calm and understanding with me during such a hard time. Thank you, Dr. Andrea.
Dr. Dover was so kind and compassionate. She made a very difficult situation as easy as possible for our family and made sure that Kona was comfortable and felt loved as she passed. Being able to do this at home was so much easier on our family and our dog. I highly recommend this service and this vet.
Dr. Stewart was truly wonderful. She was compassionate and understanding, and gently walked us through every step of the process while giving us the time and space we needed. In such a difficult moment, her kindness meant everything. I would highly recommend her to anyone facing this situation.
Wanda was 14 years old. She was such a big part of our family, we couldn’t imagine saying goodbye to her at the vet’s office. Everyone was here with her, including Kiko our 6 year old rescue. Dr John was everything we needed that day. Patient, understanding, compassionate and professional. Thank you to Dr John and Codapet, especially for the questionnaire to help understand if it was time to say goodbye. Wanda runs free now with Mel and Bruiser. Goodbye girl.
This is the 2nd time we have used Dr. Danielle Jackson. She is kind, compassionate and we would highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you again Dr. Jackson!
I can't say enough fabulous things about Dr. Jessica Pruitt! It was a hard decision (as it always will be) when its time for our "buddies" to have to leave us:( but Dr. Jessica is so gentle and kind. She explains everything, is very patient and my Molly just warmed right up to her which made things even easier. I can't express the gratitude to Dr. Jessica enough as she made this as peaceful as can be for all of us:) Thank you Dr. Jessica!
Dr. Amanda Harper was the epitome of professionalism. She was kind and took her time with us and our dog. Smokey was relaxed and felt very loved, at home, with his family. I would never choose to do it differently if we were ever to be in that situation again. This service made a terrible situation as easy as it could ever be. Highly recommend to all my pet-loving friends.
Dr. Katie Todd was so unbelievably kind & compassionate. She made an absolutely awful experience as peaceful & supportive as was possible. We are so grateful for her service.
Dr. Martin was wonderful. His kind and compassionate approach put us and our ailing dog at ease. He was calm, thoughtful, and answered all our questions throughout the process. He made this sad moment as good as it could be.
Dr. Duvall did a fantastic job easing our dog out of this world, and in tending to our human needs and concerns as well. She really went the extra mile and was full of compassion for all of us. I can't imagine how the inherently difficult situation could have been made any easier.
Putting my beloved Avery down was the hardest day of my life. While there is no easy way to do that, Dr. Noe made the experience so much better. From the moment she came to my house, her calm presence put everyone at ease, including my dog. She was professional, yet spoke as if she had known Avery for years. She gave us as much time as we needed to say goodbye to our baby without feeling rushed. After Avery passed, Dr. Noe gave a heartfelt speech and hugged us all. I couldn't imagine having to euthanize in any other way.
This was such a heartbreaking loss for us and Dr. Duvall was so caring and compassionate. She took the time to explain all that was going to happen and made us feel at ease knowing our baby would not suffer. This is one of the most difficult decisions we have to make and glad she was here to help us through it.
Dr. Whala was amazing. Very kind and compassionate. She was warm and thoughtful and really helped us get through this terrible time. I am so glad we found out about Codapet.
Mac was my first pet- my kitty cat of 18 years. I consider myself very fortunate to have had him as a buddy for so long. So when he showed signs of his time being up, I knew from a friend -in home pet euthanasia- was a peaceful goodbye. Dr. John Murray was beyond thoughtful and professional with amazing bedside manner. Mac had a wonderful last day at home and I held him in my arms as we said goodbye. It was beyond hard, but I also wouldn’t have it any other way looking back. Mac hated his car carrier, the car, a vet office is so cold. We were in our beautiful, sunny room, comfortable and well, I’d want to go the same way! Thank you again for being so wonderful to our sweet baby.
Dr. Kelli came to our home with the utmost respect, compassion and respect. It was a blessing to be able to keep our Charlie at home surrounded by love...... Thank you Dr. Kelli for being so empathetic and caring to our Charlie....
We had to say goodbye to our pup Leo, who we had for 16 years, and it was one of the most painful things I ever had to do. Leo had advanced kidney disease and his health quickly deteriorated. We had scheduled a Coda Appointment with Dr. Derecka Alexander for a Tuesday, but Leo’s health took a turn for the worse on a Sunday. I emailed Coda Pet to ask if there was any possibility any Vet could come out sooner. Dr. Alexander immediately contacted me and made herself available in our time of need. We were so appreciative of Dr. Alexander’s compassion and kindness in helping our beloved pup Leo cross over the rainbow bridge, especially after it became urgent. She made a very difficult experience of us having to say goodbye to our pup more manageable. We chose to get a Vet to come to our home for our final goodbye to our Leo because we wanted him to be surrounded by the warmth of our love, the comfort of his family, and the smells and sounds he has always known. I wanted his last memories to be of us — his family — holding him, kissing him, thanking him. Thank you, Dr. Alexander, for allowing us to provide that to our pup Leo.
We are deeply thankful to Dr. Shannon Nakaya for the care and compassion she showed during our beloved dog Giggsy’s final moments. Saying goodbye was an incredibly painful decision and a very difficult day for us, but her kindness, patience, and gentle approach helped ease the burden. Dr. Nakaya guided us through the process with understanding and treated Giggsy with such tenderness and respect. Her compassion and professionalism truly made all the difference during this heartbreaking time.
Dr. Gordon performed the euthanasia for my sweet soul dog of 16 years. It was the most peaceful experience I could’ve asked for. She knew exactly what to say and created such a calm environment to spend our final moments together. I’m very grateful for her service.
Dr. Williams was a deeply caring individual that helped our tired old boy to rest. The procedure was kind and painless physically. I highly recommend Dr. Williams if you need him.
Kristen was an angel at the time we needed one most. She came in to our house and reassured us we were making the right decision. We will always be grateful for her intervention at a time that we were so vulnerable.
Dr Canty and her assistant were super caring during a very difficult time. If you further baby needs to visit the rainbow bridge I would highly recommend Dr Canty.
Chloe was the perfect dog (for me). To lose her is heartbreaking. Without ever meeting Dr Courtney White, I felt an immediate connection. She was very intuitive, helping us navigate a very personal and difficult decision. Chloe had become extremely anxious and confused lately, my biggest concern was that she not experience more of that. Dr. Courtney saw to it! My sweet little dag died very peas fully in my arms.
Faced the difficult decision to euthanize our beloved 18 year old Papillon and used Codapet to do it in our home as our dog hated to go to the vet. Dr. Katie Todd arrived and explained in detail the process, gave us plenty of time to say our goodbyes, and made the process as easy as possible. She was very reassuring to my children that we had made the right decision and explained all the options for taking care of the remains and provided us with keepsakes to ease the family’s pain. Thank you so much Dr.Todd in doing what has to be one of the world’s toughest jobs!
It's the service you never want but when it comes I was so thankful for Dr. Todd. She was so compassionate and patient with us. Our sweet cat was able to cross the rainbow bridge in the comfort of his home without the stress of being moved to a vets office in his final hours. She even brought his ashes back to us. I can't thank her enough for this. We also had to move his appointment up and she was quick to move to his needs. I hope I don't need their services for a long time for my other fur babies but I will use her again in the very, very distant future.
Dr Meadows and his partner were incredibly kind, sensitive, and compassionate towards us and our dog Cali. As difficult and heartbreaking as it was to say goodbye, they made the process as bearable as possible. They were very patient and gentle, giving us all the time we needed in our last moments with her without feeling rushed. It gives us peace of mind knowing she was able to be comfortable at home with us in her final moments. You can tell this team truly cares about animals, and we will be forever grateful for the care they showed to us and Cali.
Dr. Meadows is a very compassionate and caring vet. Fortunately, he was able to guide me through the most difficult day. I would recommend him for any services you may need for your fur baby. Two weeks have passed since I lost my beloved Sammie, who was 20 years old. Dr. Meadows reassured me during every step of the difficult process. Please know he is a very kind and comforting person.
This was definitely the way to give your baby wings. My dog was very afraid of the vet office, and i did not want him to be on his last day on earth. Dr Anna was on time, very loving, caring and made us all feel at ease with going forward. She even brought a treat for him, and my very usually picky dog ate it! She was amazing, and I would definitely call on her again. Thank you, Dr Anna. The Hallfrisch's.
When Dr Martin arrived, my little guy Barney ran to the door to greet him like he did all guests. He even barked at him, before jumping up to him to get attention. Dr Martin greeted him back, warmly and sincerely. He was playful with Barney while explaining the process to us. Lane made a horrible no win situation more acceptable with his calm demeanor and soothing words. I can't thank Dr Martin enough for helping little Barney come to peaceful end to his life's journey.
Dr. Pickett was very kind and compassionate to me and my amazing dog of 14 years. It was difficult to find someone who was working on Sunday. Her prompt attention to my needs helped to me to end the suffering of my dog. Thank you.🙏
Dr. Noe was so compassionate and gentle with my Molly. Her husband came as her assistant who also took the time to make sure Molly was comfortable. I was able to hold Molly in my arms during her process and it was very peaceful.. This is the 2nd time I have used Codapet and would highly recommend it them. They took great care of my Molly Girl.

I am writing to express my profound appreciation for the extraordinary care Dr. Lowman provided to our family. She was incredibly sweet, caring, and truly wonderful with our 8-year-old during what has been an exceptionally difficult time for us. We feel incredibly fortunate to have had her guidance and support. Words cannot fully capture how thankful we are for her compassion and expertise, which helped us navigate this journey. We are forever grateful to have had her by our side as we said goodbye to our sweet boy Scrappy. Thank you from, The Sleans
Dr. Thomason was so supportive and helpful during such an incredibly hard time. I can't say enough about what an amazing vet she is. RIP Lovely Lolita
