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 ❤️
Sarah was an angel.Her hands were so beautiful, touching our baby with her last moment on this earth.I could not have asked for a more peaceful kind moment in our lives.Being the most difficult decision we've ever had to make. Daisy May was our precious baby girl. Adeep bond with a cherished pet that comes once in a lifetime. She will live out in our hearts forever. Although the pain is so deep, it's price we pay for love.♡ Sincerely, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Theresa & Roy , baby girl daisy may. 6/24/23 -2/27/26 ♡♡♡
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.
Coda Pet was amazing. Dr Laura was so compassionate. She even had tears in her eyes as we said our goodbyes. It’s a very painful experience to lose a beloved pet but, her calming presence made the situation much better. She gave us as much time as we needed. I would also like to mention the communication leading up to the visit was exceptional. There are so many doubts. Dr Laura was patient and gave us tools to realize that this was the best decision for our beloved pet. We chose individual cremation with a paw print and it was done very nicely by Agape. I hope I don’t have to see her for a long time. But if I ever need their services again I would not hesitate. Highly recommend to anyone faced with this difficult decision.
Dr. Somerset provided such a compassionate and peaceful experience during one of the hardest moments for our family. Her kindness and genuine care immediately put us at ease, and we felt completely supported throughout the entire process. Our fur baby was treated with the utmost dignity and tenderness, which meant everything to us. She also took the time to reach out beforehand to address my concerns, showing a level of thoughtfulness and dedication we will never forget.
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.
