Knowing when to say goodbye to my 16yo dog was an extremely difficult decision to make. Not only that, but I had no idea what to expect as this was my first in-home euthanasia. I could not imagine a better person to assist with this than Dr. Silberman. He has such a calm, peaceful presence. The goodbye was actually beautiful. Dr. Silberman was fully present with me, my son, and our dog. He moved at our pace and walked us through what to expect every step of the way. He was so gentle with my pup and his words of reassurance - that there is no such thing as premature for a 16yo dog - have stayed with me in the moments where I question my decision. He went above and beyond to ensure aftercare was handled how we would like. As sad as it is to say goodbye, this experience brought me so much peace and was truly perfect. I cannot recommend him and CodaPet enough for when the heartbreaking time comes. They will be my only call for future needs like this.

Dr Alice was so calm and kind when she came to our house to help our dog cross the rainbow bridge. She gave us time to be with him, explained everything and was very efficient and skilled at her job. We were thankful for her excellent guidance and support during a very emotional time.

We will be forever grateful for Dr Amy Lutgen DeWitt for coming to our home yesterday to help us say goodbye to our Buster boy. She made an incredibly painful time as peaceful and compassionate as possible.

Dr. Megan was extremely kind and respectful of Lady and our situation. She communicated well as we planned Lady's passing and even brought treats to keep her happy. I know being at home brought Lady more peace and I truly thank Dr. Megan for that.

We just used CodaPet (Dr. Phillips) for our almost 14 yr old dog, Curtis. Words cannot express how happy we are with this service. What a blessing it was for us and for him. Like most dogs, he was always anxious about going to the Vet. Needless to say, when the time came to say goodbye, that was the last place we wanted to take him. Curtis left this world at home, in his favorite bed, after enjoying a bowl of vanilla ice cream. Dr. Phillips was exceptional! She took her time and explained the process to us in great detail. She gave us space and all the time we needed. It was painless and peaceful. Our boy simply drifted off to sleep and for this we are eternally grateful. If you are facing this difficult decision, do not hesitate to use CodaPet.
