Dr. Katie Todd was highly recommended to us. Our 18 year old shihpoo had been struggling with rapidly declining health. I can vividly remember bringing Lilly home at 8 weeks old and spending 18 years of pure joy with her. It was a wonderful honor to get to be her Mommy. That little girl was my primary sidekick and we had a ball together. She was right there with me throughout everything good and bad that life threw our way. When her little body became to tired, I knew that I wanted to make sure that her time was as perfect as it could be for her. I wanted to make sure that Lilly had a calm and peaceful transition. Dr. Katie Todd provided just that for us. She made herself available to us on a Sunday evening and came to our home. Dr. Todd was so kind and soothing. She calmly explained everything to us prior to and as she was administering the medications. Dr. Todd has a very difficult career watching people grieve so terribly but also being so helpful in such a time of need. It takes a very strong person with a tremendous heart to be able to accomplish that. We are so grateful for her and that she provided our beautiful Lilly the opportunity to pass peacefully in the comfort of her own home while be held in her Mommy's arms. Thank you Dr. Todd for being there for us.

Dr Lane was very gentle with Zippy, talking to him the whole time, scratching his ears, petting him gently. He was very caring. Dr Lane made a very sad experience less stressful Thank you, doctor. Camille and John Staczek

Dr. DZierga made the sad process of saying goodbye so much more comforting. She was professional, compassionate, knowledgeable and truly showed care and concern while helping us to send our beloved Lucy to Heaven. She is an excellent Vet to help you with your pet to take their last journey in the peace and comfort of home. I highly recommend her services , as we have used her before and knew she was the one to call when we needed her services again.

I can't imagine anyone handling our beloved Bear's passing any better than Dr. Fieg. She was compassionate and understood the hurt we felt. She treated us, our Bear and the whole thing with ultimate respect and care. I would recommend Dr. Fieg to anyone needing someone special.

Dr. Stukey was so kind and supportive of us when we lost our sweet boy Cooper. Having her there with us made a huge difference and we are very grateful that we found her, and that she was able to take care of Coop in such a kind and thoughtful way. My husband and I would highly recommend her.

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.
