Dr. Amy was so compassionate and gentle, and really helped us feel at ease during this incredibly painful time. She gave us all the time we needed with our sweet girl, and allowed us to have her with us throughout the entire process. Thank you so much for giving our baby Mouse the most peaceful send off.
Ms. Anne took her time. She wasn’t rushed. She was empathetic. I could not have asked for a better experience. She explained everything in detail before she did it. I would highly recommend. I wish I had found her back in January when I lost my female.
We have had the horrible experience of losing two pets in just under 4 months. She was so wonderful with our first loss, that we sought her out for the second one. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect person to support us during this horrible time and she helped make it so much easier for us and we feel more at peace with their passing because of her. We can’t thank her enough.
Having to make the decision to let Jeannie go was one of the hardest things I've had to do. But she stopped eating and I knew...it was time. Dr.Krueger is one of the kindest people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. She was punctual & prior to her arrival she texted me with her ETA. She was the breath of fresh air this home needed at that time. Grief is a heavy emotion, but Dr. Krueger lightened it the moment she walked in. She was gentle, thorough, kind, and most of all, compassionate. I was still unsure if I was doing the right thing. After the doctor examined her, she came over & put her hand gently on my arm, and said "If I were you, and Jeannie was mine I'd be doing the same thing. You are removing her pain & suffering, and that is the kindest most responsible thing a pet owner can do". After giving Jeannie sedation meds she let me sit with her, and I cradled her like a baby. She never once let me hold her in life, only when she was dying . She was a foster fail. Not a single person ever put an application in to adopt her & no one wanted to foster her. Something early in her life caused her to fear almost all humans. I shared that with Dr. Krueger and she said you sit and hold her as long as you need to, take your time. I can't tell you how much that meant to me! Dr. Krueger made the entire process, bearable for me & respectful to Jeannie. I highly recommend CodaPet because they have Dr. Jenny Krueger. In my humble opinion, she is their greatest asset.
We were fortunate enough to have Dr. Martin as our veterinarian before he moved to Coda. His demeanor is professional, kind and he can ‘read the room’. We had previously used a different group for the passing of another dog and it got a bit awkward. We will definitely use him if he’s available for our other dogs.
Dr. Phillips was very thorough and caring. She talked us through every step and what to expect. Everything went as smooth as it could go in this type of situation. She was very professional and very compassionate. She let our family say our goodbyes, including our other dogs. We didn't feel rushed, she gave us all the time we needed. If we have to make the call again, we would not hesitate to call Dr. Phillips as long as she's willing to drive over an hour back out here. <3
