Wanda was 14 years old. She was such a big part of our family, we couldn’t imagine saying goodbye to her at the vet’s office. Everyone was here with her, including Kiko our 6 year old rescue. Dr John was everything we needed that day. Patient, understanding, compassionate and professional. Thank you to Dr John and Codapet, especially for the questionnaire to help understand if it was time to say goodbye. Wanda runs free now with Mel and Bruiser. Goodbye girl.
Dr. Tolbert was amazing. She took the time to explain and discuss the current health situation with our Lyla girl. Lyla was 14 and had kidney disease so we knew this day was coming. Dr Tolbert made the entire process as comforting as possible. We highly reccomend her & will be using at home euthanasia from now on. We have had many dogs throughout our lives & this was the best experience we've had under the circumstances.
Dr. Lisa made herself available for a last-minute urgent call for us and she couldn’t have been more lovely and caring. This is obviously a challenging and sad time for anyone in the position to call. She treated it with reverence and kindness. Feel lucky to have had her.
This was definitely the way to give your baby wings. My dog was very afraid of the vet office, and i did not want him to be on his last day on earth. Dr Anna was on time, very loving, caring and made us all feel at ease with going forward. She even brought a treat for him, and my very usually picky dog ate it! She was amazing, and I would definitely call on her again. Thank you, Dr Anna. The Hallfrisch's.
Dr. Gonnering was incredibly compassionate and made the difficult process of saying goodbye to our beloved Jackson hurt a little less. She made sure we were all comfortable before proceeding and allowed us the time we needed to say goodbye. If you have to make this decision, I cannot recommend her services enough.
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.
Dr. Perzak was incredibly kind and patient. I couldn't have asked for a better person to help my 20 year old girl Bubbles. She made this extremely hard moment a little bit easier and I'm very grateful to her for providing peace to our kitty.
Dr. Christina took great care helping my little man, Eli, transition from this world to the next. This is the second time I have asked Dr. Christina to euthanize one of my pet's in my home. It is the hardest decision a pet owner has to make, but she is so gentle and patient it helps relieve some of the angst that comes with the decision. I highly recommend her and will choose her in the future when that difficult time comes.
Dr. Matthew is so kind and compassionate. He helped us through this very difficult time, losing our two dogs within a month of each other. And when our Smokey took a turn for the worse, he came out earlier so he didn’t have to suffer. Can’t say enough good things about he and CodaPet.
Dr. Mumm was wonderful, she was kind and patient, and helped remind of some beautiful and fun stories about my sweet boy that I had to say goodbye to. It was calm, and peaceful and filled with love, I would recommend her to anyone who needs to say goodbye to their pets.
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.
Putting my beloved Avery down was the hardest day of my life. While there is no easy way to do that, Dr. Noe made the experience so much better. From the moment she came to my house, her calm presence put everyone at ease, including my dog. She was professional, yet spoke as if she had known Avery for years. She gave us as much time as we needed to say goodbye to our baby without feeling rushed. After Avery passed, Dr. Noe gave a heartfelt speech and hugged us all. I couldn't imagine having to euthanize in any other way.
Dr. Krueger was so compassionate during this most difficult time. She explained the process and eased our minds that we were doing the right thing for our precious Will. I highly recommend Dr.Krueger. Trust me she was amazing!!
Dr. Lori was wonderful. She took the time to look over my little girl, to make sure I was making the right choice. The procedure went smoothly, it allowed me to have some personal time with my girl. She wasn't in a hurry, she took her time and was most gentle during a very emotional time.I would highly recommend going with an at home experience. Your pet and yourself deserves to have that gentle time with the warmth of what your pet is used to. Thank you, much respect and love to Dr Lori.
Dr. Collins was absolutely wonderful and the whole process was simple and allowed me to just love on my baby as she passed. I never expected that level of genuine care and was blown away by the card I received afterward. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Collins to anyone needing to say goodbye to their baby in the most peaceful way possible. Thank you for everything.
We decided to use CodaPet when it was time for us to make that decision for our sweet 14 year old St Bernard, Fiona. It was the best thing we could have done. Dr Jason Doolittle made sure the experience was peaceful and went at a pace we were comfortable with. He explained in detail everything that would happen and was very gentle with Fiona. Thank you for providing a service that allows our fur family to go peacefully in their homes surrounded by comforting faces and love.
Mac was my first pet- my kitty cat of 18 years. I consider myself very fortunate to have had him as a buddy for so long. So when he showed signs of his time being up, I knew from a friend -in home pet euthanasia- was a peaceful goodbye. Dr. John Murray was beyond thoughtful and professional with amazing bedside manner. Mac had a wonderful last day at home and I held him in my arms as we said goodbye. It was beyond hard, but I also wouldn’t have it any other way looking back. Mac hated his car carrier, the car, a vet office is so cold. We were in our beautiful, sunny room, comfortable and well, I’d want to go the same way! Thank you again for being so wonderful to our sweet baby.
Dr. Briell Dzierga was wonderful! She came into our home and made what was a very emotionally painful day bearable. She spent time with our family and provided compassionate care. She also thoroughly guided us through each step. She made us feel included throughout the process, for that we are so grateful for Dr. Briell Dzierga!
Dr. Allison was amazing! From the initial point of contact she was professional, gentle, soft, & caring! I cannot recommend her high enough!
Dr. Magnotta helped guide our family through a very difficult time as we said goodbye to our sweet Annie. She was kind and compassionate to Annie and to all of us and allowed Annie to find peace in her own home, which was a gift.
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.
She was wonderful. Thank you for your kindness and understanding. We are so grateful that you were there for us during this tragic time. Angie Masterson
Dr. Taylor had genuine empathy for my cat and myself. Poky passed very peacefully. It was a very humane process and I truly appreciate Dr. Taylor's understanding of what the pet owner and the pet are going through.
We had to say goodbye to our pup Leo, who we had for 16 years, and it was one of the most painful things I ever had to do. Leo had advanced kidney disease and his health quickly deteriorated. We had scheduled a Coda Appointment with Dr. Derecka Alexander for a Tuesday, but Leo’s health took a turn for the worse on a Sunday. I emailed Coda Pet to ask if there was any possibility any Vet could come out sooner. Dr. Alexander immediately contacted me and made herself available in our time of need. We were so appreciative of Dr. Alexander’s compassion and kindness in helping our beloved pup Leo cross over the rainbow bridge, especially after it became urgent. She made a very difficult experience of us having to say goodbye to our pup more manageable. We chose to get a Vet to come to our home for our final goodbye to our Leo because we wanted him to be surrounded by the warmth of our love, the comfort of his family, and the smells and sounds he has always known. I wanted his last memories to be of us — his family — holding him, kissing him, thanking him. Thank you, Dr. Alexander, for allowing us to provide that to our pup Leo.
Faced the difficult decision to euthanize our beloved 18 year old Papillon and used Codapet to do it in our home as our dog hated to go to the vet. Dr. Katie Todd arrived and explained in detail the process, gave us plenty of time to say our goodbyes, and made the process as easy as possible. She was very reassuring to my children that we had made the right decision and explained all the options for taking care of the remains and provided us with keepsakes to ease the family’s pain. Thank you so much Dr.Todd in doing what has to be one of the world’s toughest jobs!
Dr. Mitchell was wonderful. She was very caring with our pet and our family durning a difficult time. I would highly recommend Dr. Mitchell.
Dr. LeBlanc was like a visiting angel. So sweet, kind, gentle, and empathic. She took care of our Nikki painlessly.After Nikki was tranquillized, she gave use all the time we needed to say our goodbyes. We would highly recommend her for anyone who doesn’t want to bring their family into the vet hospital to say goodbye. With appreciation, Jonathan and Jair Tower
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 ❤️
During one of the most heartbreaking moments of our lives, Dr. Fieg was an incredible source of comfort. Saying goodbye to our beloved dog was incredibly difficult, but she went above and beyond to make sure our dog's final moments were peaceful, gentle, and filled with dignity. She did her absolute best to comfort us throughout the entire process. We are deeply grateful for her compassionate, professional care and highly recommend her services.
The team at CodaPet made all the difference in the world. The process was smooth and they were readily available to answer any questions. Dr. Katie Simpson was so considerate, gentle, and kind. She and her team made what was a very hard day a little bit better.
It was as great of an experience as it could be. She was very thoughtful throughout the whole process. We didn’t feel rushed at all. We appreciate her so much.
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.
Dr. Doolittle was the best, we could not have had a better dr.to service our pet and our family. Thank you very much for your kindness.
April did an extraordinary job of supporting us through this difficult process. She answered all of our questions, gave us all the time we needed and explained everything she was doing. She was kind, gentle and caring in everything she did for Riley and our family. I can’t imagine a better ending for our amazing Riley.
Dr. Katie Todd was so kind and informative. She explained the process and answered all of our questions. Our sweet girl is at peace and out of pain and I couldn't have asked for a better experience for her.
This is the 2nd time we have used Dr. Danielle Jackson. She is kind, compassionate and we would highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you again Dr. Jackson!
Dr.Murray was very compassionate and honored our requests that we had for our pets final moments. He has wonderful follow-up with texts and emails. We were so very happy to have found him in our time of need. Highly recommend him and CodaPet.
Dr. Izlar was so amazing! We had to move our appointment up and she was so accommodating and understanding. She was so good with my big guy, very patient and caring, and such a calming presence. This was the hardest decision ever but I will always look back and know he got the best send off possible.
Dr. Karen is a warm and compassionate human who relates so easily with the people who are struggling to get through their difficult time of losing a pet. That compassion flowed through her to our beloved family member as we said goodbye. She truly was a blessing to us.
I NEVER leave reviews - I had to google how to even do it, but Dr April deserves every star. If I could give her 100 stars, I would. This is never an easy thing for a family to do, say goodbye to our Honeybear, but I knew it was time and I chose Dr April based on availability and reviews I saw quickly. She was the most compassionate, heartwarming and wonderful person to help us and our cat feel as comfortable as we could be. She explained the process extremely well, allowed all 5 of us (and 2 other cats) to gather around, she was extremely gentle and kind during this hard time for us all. If you are wondering if you should give your pet this end if you are able, do it, Dr. April will be the person I will trust our pets with when it's time to cross the bridge. Thank you Dr April for all you gave our family.
Dr. Katie Todd was so unbelievably kind & compassionate. She made an absolutely awful experience as peaceful & supportive as was possible. We are so grateful for her service.
In my life I have been blessed to have a few dogs. Saying goodbye is part of the price we pay. Dr. Gordon made this horrible time easier. I will be eternally grateful for the kindness and compassion she showed not only our precious Baby Girl but also us.
When Dr Martin arrived, my little guy Barney ran to the door to greet him like he did all guests. He even barked at him, before jumping up to him to get attention. Dr Martin greeted him back, warmly and sincerely. He was playful with Barney while explaining the process to us. Lane made a horrible no win situation more acceptable with his calm demeanor and soothing words. I can't thank Dr Martin enough for helping little Barney come to peaceful end to his life's journey.
Dr. Delia is truly one of the most amazing people I have ever met. She gave us peace of mind by answering all of our questions and throughly explaining what our baby girl was experiencing. We are so happy that our Mira was surrounded by love and comfort in her final moments.
Dr. Pilago showed so much care and compassion when we had to make the painful decision to put our handsome pup Rodney to sleep. I highly recommend her.
Dr. Schott was very professional and kind. She explained the process clearly and gave us plenty of time to say goodbye to our girl. She took her time and was gentle and caring. Things went smoothly and Pearl was able to have a peaceful passing surrounded by her loving family. Thank you to Dr. Schott for the kindness shown on that heart breaking day.
I really can't say enough about how comforting Dr. Ross was on a really hard day. She walked me through all the steps of the process and exactly what was going to happen in detail. I never once felt rushed, she asked lovely questions about my cat Pinto and our life together. She came prepared with a basket and blankets to wrap him in. She even talked me through next steps for what would be happening to his body after she took him away. Even though saying goodbye is incredibly rough Dr. Ross made it as gentle and comforting as possible. Many thank you to her and the whole team.
Dr Brittany was very compassionate and helpful through the whole process. Dr Brittany explained all that the proceedings would involve from the medications used to how they would be administered. She encouraged us to focus on our Teddy with his treats and just being with him talking to him and petting him. It was a terribly hard decision for us but Dr Brittany helped us realize it was a necessary one for Teddy’s sake. It was so comforting to have Teddy in his own home surrounded by those who loved him. I am thankful for such a professional, caring veterinarian to help us during this time. Thank you Dr Brittany and Codapet for this in home service.
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.
I cannot express enough the gratitude I feel for Dr. Lisa Feig. It was heart wrenching knowing I had to say goodbye to my precious Dottie before she began to suffer. We loved her so much. With that said, Dr. Lisa Feig made the experience so much easier and peaceful for our sweet girl. I knew Dottie was not in pain and crossed over in the most peaceful way. Dr. Feig is the most compassionate, caring, thoughtful doctor anyone could ask for. Anyone who has Dr. Feig in their life as wife, mother, daughter, friend--is an extremely lucky person. She was so giving of her time and patience. I recommend at home euthanasia to everyone. Having your loved one home, comfortable in their surroundings is really the best option. I hated the idea of her being at a hospital or vet clinic in a sterile environment. I got to hold her and tell her how pretty she was and how loved she was. And all the while, Dr. Feig demonstrated such genuine compassion. My fiancé and I were blown away. It takes a special person to do this type of job. And Dr. Lisa Feig more than meets that requirement. A million thanks to her and Coda Pet.
She is an amazing vet. She is very compassionate and is not in a hurry. She is definitely there to help you in your time of need to be there and help you in a difficult time. We have used her on two different occasions and I HIGHLY recommend her.
We are deeply thankful to Dr. Shannon Nakaya for the care and compassion she showed during our beloved dog Giggsy’s final moments. Saying goodbye was an incredibly painful decision and a very difficult day for us, but her kindness, patience, and gentle approach helped ease the burden. Dr. Nakaya guided us through the process with understanding and treated Giggsy with such tenderness and respect. Her compassion and professionalism truly made all the difference during this heartbreaking time.
I can't say enough fabulous things about Dr. Jessica Pruitt! It was a hard decision (as it always will be) when its time for our "buddies" to have to leave us:( but Dr. Jessica is so gentle and kind. She explains everything, is very patient and my Molly just warmed right up to her which made things even easier. I can't express the gratitude to Dr. Jessica enough as she made this as peaceful as can be for all of us:) Thank you Dr. Jessica!
Dr. Gordon performed the euthanasia for my sweet soul dog of 16 years. It was the most peaceful experience I could’ve asked for. She knew exactly what to say and created such a calm environment to spend our final moments together. I’m very grateful for her service.
The form for the service was very easy to complete. I appreciated this since making this decision was very difficult and I was fraught with emotion. I wanted my beloved cat Buddy to have a pain free transition at our home. He was 18 years. His decline was rapid; he became extremely ill in the span of a week with advanced kidney disease. Dr. Lutri was so gentle and loving to Buddy. She explained every step of the process and asked me before each step if I was ready to move to the next. Dr. Lutri was gracious, kind, and compassionate. She has the most peaceful, calm, loving presence and a profound caring for the pets she serves and their pet guardians. She comforted me greatly as she took care of my magnificent boy. She genuinely understood the magical connection I had with Buddy and treated him so tenderly when she put his sweet body into a beautiful bed to transport him the the crematorium. I felt like Dr. Lutri was an angel sent to me in my dire time of need and loss. She was exceptional in every way. She is a talented doctor overflowing with empathy and understanding who is beautiful inside and out.
Dr. Duvall did a fantastic job easing our dog out of this world, and in tending to our human needs and concerns as well. She really went the extra mile and was full of compassion for all of us. I can't imagine how the inherently difficult situation could have been made any easier.
There are no words to fully express our gratitude for the compassion and kindness shown on one of the hardest days of our lives. Saying goodbye to our beloved 12-year-old Shiba Inu, our best friend and cherished family member, was heartbreaking. Dr. Perzak came into our home with such warmth and gentleness, allowing our dog, Jerry, to pass peacefully surrounded by me, my husband, and our son. Her care, patience, and dignity brought us comfort in an unimaginable moment. We will always be grateful that his final moments were filled with love and kindness. Thank you for helping us say goodbye with such grace and for treating our sweet boy with the respect and tenderness he deserved.
Dr. Vosburg was caring, tender and a a comfort to our family. Her kindness and compassion was so very appreciated as we transitioned our beloved Groot across the rainbow bridge.
Dr. Martin was incredibly compassionate during his visit with our family. We appreciated both his professionalism and his obvious love for animals. While losing our beloved Smokey was extremely hard, having Dr. Martin come to our home to help Smokey cross over made it a loving and personal event, rather than clinical. Thank you, Dr. Martin.
Dr Delia showed so much compassion for both Abby and myself. She was a fountain of information and brought a very calming affect both to myself and Abby. I would highly recommend her to anyone that needs this type of care. Abby left this world very peacefully.
She was so understanding and comforting , Calm and informative, all of the things you want your vet to be at that time. I could not have been more happy with her service. Highly recommend.
She was so caring and professional. She came prepared to do the work but she helped us before and during the process and she helped us grieve. Just the best!!
Dr. Litwack made an incredibly painful day as peaceful and compassionate as it could possibly be. From the moment he arrived, he treated Stewie with such gentleness and dignity. Instead of rushing through the appointment, he got down on the floor with him, met him where he was most comfortable, and made sure he felt safe and loved. It was obvious that he cared deeply, not just about his patient, but about our family as well. Dr. Litwack carefully explained every step of the process before and as it happened, so there were no surprises. His calm presence, kindness, and compassion gave us space to say the peaceful goodbye our family needed. Having the procedure done at home allowed Stewie to spend his final moments in the place he loved most, surrounded by the people who loved him. We will always be grateful to Dr. Litwack for treating Stewie with such empathy, respect, and grace. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone facing this incredibly difficult decision.
Dr. Torres came to assist us with our sweet old lab’s final vet appointment. She was truly amazing. She was so gentle and had the sweetest energy about her. We were so grateful to have found such a caring person to handle this tough situation. She had everything super covered and no part of us felt rushed at all in the whole experience. Thank you very much, we’d recommend you to anyone and everyone in this position.
Dr. Delia Gregory-Macdonald is an angel on Earth. The time came to put down our 13 year old family dog. I wanted this to be done in the familiar comfort of our home. Dr Delia came to our house shortly after I reached out. She was kind and compassionate and made Mia’s transition calm, pain free and peaceful. She is an amazing human and is excellent at what she does. I am so grateful. Thank you so much Dr Delia.
Dr. Norman was wonderful in helping our pet pass away peacefully at home. She was professional, compassionate and genuinely kind. We would highly recommend Dr. Norman and CodaPet for those looking for in home euthanasia services.
Dr. Stukey was so amazingly kind, patient, and caring! She created such a gentle way to say goodbye during a very difficult experience. If you are finding yourself at the tough position of having to say goodbye to a beloved pet, she is the vet to help your loved one cross the bridge. ♥️
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.
Dr. Amanda Harper was the epitome of professionalism. She was kind and took her time with us and our dog. Smokey was relaxed and felt very loved, at home, with his family. I would never choose to do it differently if we were ever to be in that situation again. This service made a terrible situation as easy as it could ever be. Highly recommend to all my pet-loving friends.
It's the service you never want but when it comes I was so thankful for Dr. Todd. She was so compassionate and patient with us. Our sweet cat was able to cross the rainbow bridge in the comfort of his home without the stress of being moved to a vets office in his final hours. She even brought his ashes back to us. I can't thank her enough for this. We also had to move his appointment up and she was quick to move to his needs. I hope I don't need their services for a long time for my other fur babies but I will use her again in the very, very distant future.
Dr. Sara Gardhaouse has an amazing aura about her. In such an Emotinal time she radiates warmth and kindness to help ease the situations hardness. I would gladly refer this company to help with the passing of any fur baby in their own home.
We suddenly found ourselves in an unbearable situation with our 17-year-old dog, Teddy. His health declined so quickly, and we had to rush to find someone who could help us say goodbye at home. Thankfully, we were able to book an appointment with Dr. Lisa. She came to our house with such humility, patience, and compassion. She listened as we cried and asked a million questions, gently reassuring us that we were doing the right thing for our sweet boy. She never rushed us, she gave us the space and time we needed to say goodbye. As heartbreaking as it was, Teddy passed peacefully and comfortably in our arms. Dr. Lisa treated him with love, dignity, and respect, and made sure he was safely transported for cremation. She even followed up with us afterward to reassure us he had arrived where he needed to go. Losing Teddy has been one of the hardest things we’ve ever gone through, but we have no regrets choosing Dr. Lisa. She gave our boy the most loving, gentle passing we could have hoped for.
Such a great experience, during such a difficult event. Dr. Anna Peterson was incredible. So kind, kept things light, and was so skilled. Thank you!
Dr. Thomason was so supportive and helpful during such an incredibly hard time. I can't say enough about what an amazing vet she is. RIP Lovely Lolita
Although my dog's passing was a day of deep grief, CodaPet and Dr Karen will always be thought of with such gratitude and tenderness. She treated us and him with such dignity and care which are memories that will stay with me forever. Thank you Dr. Karen for being so gentle to us and to him. Thank you for helping me with his foot prints and letting me hold him one last time and never acting like we were taking too long to say goodbye. It was such a good last day. Because of you and CodaPet, his last moments were where he felt safe and loved (and fed delicious snacks, his favorite). He wasn't scared and hurting, and for that gift I cannot even assign value. So when my mind replays him passing, I hold on to a measure of peace because of what you did for us. Seriously, what a gift you gave us. It takes someone really special to walk into grief like that and hold space for that kind of sorrow. I have recommended you to all of my friends and family. I wish I could give more than 5 stars.
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!
Dr Stadler entered our home as a complete stranger greeted by our deep heartbreak as we reluctantly prepared to say goodbye to our handsome boy, Fenway. His litter mate brother, Wrigley, passed 8 months earlier and Fenway gave us much needed comfort and purpose while our hearts were still trying to mend. We weren’t prepared to say goodbye to him, but knew we could never be. Our boys were 13 and 13.8 years respectively and gave our family every ounce of joyful memories they could possibly give. Dr Stadler completed her assessment on a Saturday but honored our decision to give him another night to see if he could rebound from an illness that overcame him very quickly. The next morning she reached out first thing to ask how our boy was doing and we knew it would be a very difficult day of saying goodbye. We put his orthopedic bed on the deck during the coolerearly hours of the morning and watched the last sunrise with our beautiful boy. Dr Stadler arrived mid- morning and took our last photos with Fenway. While laying on his bed and favorite blanket, Dr Stadler gently administered a sedation that provided peaceful rest and with my hands cradling his head, Fenway crossed the rainbow bridge surrounded by our love. Though our hearts will take time to mend with this difficult loss, we take refuge knowing he isn’t struggling and are confident with our decision for this personal and peaceful transition. Dr Stadler exemplified professional and compassionate care for our beautiful boy and we are very grateful. We appreciate the opportunity to say goodbye to Fenway in his home while surrounded by love and beautiful memories. Dr Stadler departed that day with an understanding of the profound joy our labs, Wrigley & Fenway, brought to our family. Dr Stadler departed our home no longer a stranger, but as our friend. Thank you, Dr Stadler.
He was very easy to talk to and seem to genuinely care what we were going thru! He knew what he was doing as Blue went as easy as possible.
