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. 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!

We recently said goodbye to our dog Edward. He was 15 years old and we had 12 years together. Dr. Perzak made an unbearably hard day as peaceful as it could possibly be. She was warm, patient, and genuinely present with us. Sshe took the time to explain exactly what to expect, answered every question without rushing, and never once made us feel like we were "just another appointment." What stood out most was her compassion. She treated Edward with such gentleness, and she treated our family with the same care, giving us space to grieve while quietly guiding us through the process. It's clear she truly understands how much our fur babies mean to us, not just as animals but as family. I'm deeply grateful to her for the kindness shown to us during Edward's final moments. If you're facing this same difficult decision, I can't recommend her more highly.

Dr Lori was everything Benny needed and us too. She was so kind and patient.. Benny got out of his bed to greet her. He took to her right away which definitely wasn't the case for everyone. She made a very difficult process easier with her kindness to us and especially to Benny. He was the BEST boy! Thank you so much Dr. Lori.

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.

There are not enough words to express how grateful we are to Dr. Perzak for helping us through a terribly difficult day. Having to say goodbye to our beloved dog, Rocky, was heartbreaking, but Dr. Perzak made the experience as peaceful and comforting as we could have hoped for. She came to our home with such kindness, compassion, and professionalism. She treated Rocky with incredible dignity and respect, and she took the time to ensure that we never felt rushed. Her gentle demeanor and genuine empathy gave us comfort during an incredibly emotional time. Being able to say goodbye to Rocky in the comfort of his own home, surrounded by the people who loved him, was a priceless gift. Dr. Perzak's care and compassion made an unbearable situation a little easier, and we will always be grateful for the kindness she showed our family. We truly could not have asked for a better experience under such difficult circumstances. Dr. Perzak is an exceptional veterinarian and an even more exceptional person. We will never forget her compassion and highly recommend her to anyone.
