1000% would recommend. Sounds funny considering the situation but believe me. This woman not only showed up with patience, kindness but empathy. The goodbye was so sweet. She also comforted the dog left behind. I've had to experience multiple natural deaths, vet clinic and home euthanasia visits, this was by far the best experience I've ever had! I elected cremation, the box I got back... hands down, amazing. I'm overwhelmed with thankfulness. As long as she practices I will never choose another. Thank you!

Dr. Delia was so incredible. She helped us with our family dog some months ago and we still talk about the visit with her and her kindness and gentleness.

Dr. Laura Dubose was so kind and calm and allowed our family to be with our Lady girl as she passed peacefully. She stood to the side out of the way and only came over when she needed to do something. She was very informative before the process started and very prepared. It was the right choice for our Lady girl.

Dr Jones was absolutely the sweetest person and took her time with us and answered all questions. I am so thankful that we had her to help at a very difficult time. She was so gentle with our fur baby and I would 💯 recommend her. What a blessing to be able to do this at home where we were all more comfortable.

Perfect in every way. I couldn't have asked for a better situation for our family in one of the hardest moments of our lives. We suddenly had to say goodbye to our dog of 10 years, and I couldn't fathom saying that last goodbye at the vet's office - which he hated. I was able to make an appointment that day online very easily. We got a text message confirmation from the vet who was to come for the appointment. We had Dr. Amanda Harper come to our home, and she was everything we could have asked for. Her kindness, experience, and patience shone so bright. She really took her time and catered to our special situation with our boy who has always been aggressive towards vets and vet techs. After we said goodbye, she let us take our time to grieve and be with him before it was time for him to leave us. We decided on a private cremation, and she helped us go over everything we needed to figure out before she left. They returned his ashes to our home within 48 hours. Our package included a clay paw print with a stand as well. I will never forget her kindness and the ease we felt in such an awful time. Of course, any at home euthanasia will be pricy but it was worth every single penny to us. Thank you Coda pet & we are forever thankful to Dr. Amanda Harper.

On the hardest day, Dave Leatherman was my Abigail’s angel. He was kind, gentle and full of empathy for us and my baby. He talked to Abby in a soft spoken voice that helped put her at ease. He explained the process and lets us take our time with her at each stage. I can’t thank him enough for helping us on such a horrible day.
