Thank you to Dr. Ross. Daniella was so empathetic and loving. She gave us all the time we needed with our little furry soul. It is perhaps one of the most difficult decisions ever to be made. It has been 2 weeks since Henry has passed over the rainbow bridge. We have been beside ourselves with grief but knowing he left this physical plane surrounded by love in the comfort of his home - I would not change it for anything. We miss him so much, but Daniella was able to help us through the moment. Highly recommend.
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.
Her compassion to our beloved dog, our family and remaining 4 legged pets was above and beyond giving all of us time to grieve our loss and say our goodbyes. She was an angel in our journey.
She explained every step of what was going to happen before she did anything. She gave a space to grieve without judgment. Would recommend Dr. Todd to anyone .
Best dog, best friend - my fluff of life. Saying goodbye was one of the hardest things I have ever done. My heart still aches as I see my baby in the shadows. Dr. Rebecca Walton was wonderful. She made sure Cody was comfortable using a sedative. She put him to sleep while I held him. And when I was ready, she helped me to let him go. She was kind, supportive and compassionate. And while I never want to see her again, if I ever need to do this again I will be searching for her. Coda Pet provided a wonderful service. Being at home for our last goodbye with a compassionate doctor and assistant meant everything. Thank you.
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.
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.
Dr. Pugh was amazing. She guided my wife and I through a very difficult process and allowed us to grieve. Her calm demeanor and utmost professionalism brought comfort to us during an emotionally elevated experience. It was clear that she truly cares for both the pet and the family.
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.
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.
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 Nicolette is heaven sent. She made this very heartbreaking experience a peaceful one and made the grieving process gentler with her kindness and overwhelming care and love for what she does. I don’t think I could have coped with this great loss if anyone else had done it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the love and care you showed Bran and our family.
Dr. Michelli was so compassionate during this very difficult time. She made this experience so special and explained everything in detail. She gave us time to grieve with our boy and I’m so grateful that she was the one to take my baby over the rainbow bridge.
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. 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.
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.
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.
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!
Karen Duncan was a true blessing during this difficult time and I feel so blessed to have had her in those final moments! She is best! And I thank her so very much!
When it was time to cross our beloved fur baby over, we used CodaPet. We have used another at-home pet euthanasia company, but our last experience with them was very unpleasant. Dr. Daniela Lutri came to our home and assisted our fur baby to cross over. We are deeply grateful to Dr. Lutri for the extraordinary compassion and care she provided during a difficult moment in our lives. Saying goodbye to our beloved fur baby was heartbreaking, but Dr. Lutri’s presence brought a sense of peace and dignity to the experience that we will never forget. From the moment she arrived, Dr. Lutri was kind, gentle, and incredibly patient. She took the time to ask us about our fur baby, and our fur baby’s health issues. As she became acquainted with our fur baby, she pointed out some other health issues that were obvious to her. Hearing Dr. Lutri share them with us validated that we were making the right decision. Dr. Lutri explained everything to us with tenderness and respect, allowing us to move at our own pace. Her calm and compassionate demeanor created a safe space for our family to grieve and say goodbye. The way Dr. Lutri guided our baby through her final moments was nothing short of beautiful. It was peaceful, serene, and filled with love—exactly what we had hoped for. Knowing our fur baby passed in the comfort of her home, surrounded by love and without fear, has brought us immense comfort in our grief. Dr. Lutri is truly a gift to families navigating the loss of a cherished companion. Her work is more than a service—it’s a calling, and we are forever thankful for her grace and empathy.
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.
Dr. Lisa Littlejohn is truly an angel, sent to us at exactly the right time. The time drew near quicker than we anticipated and she made us a priority. Dr. Lisa arrived at our home which allowed Juno to spend his last moments in his favorite place, surrounded by love and comfort. We can’t begin to express our gratitude for her kindness and compassion during the most difficult day of our lives. Her gentle presence, calm demeanor and professional sensitivity made the unbearable transition peaceful. Dr. Lisa handled Juno, myself and my husband with great dignity and respect. Knowing Juno passes so serenely brought us a profound measure of comfort. Dr. Lisa went the extra mile starting with the call for help to departing our home, handling every aspect of the process with heartfelt empathy. We would encourage anyone to seek out Dr. Lisa Littlejohn, as there is no one more qualified, to guide you through this difficult journey.
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!
Rebecca was amazing to work with, we really appreciate her care and understanding of the hard times we were going through. She was professional and at the same time compassionate, both my partner and I are so happy for her services. Also she went above and beyond to send us a little card which we thought it was super thoughtful of her. We really are truly thankful for all she did for us.
Our entire experience from start to finish was positive as it could possibly be! Lisa was a great communicator, kind and compassionate. We scheduled our appointment a couple days out, during that time she was in contact through text, gave us support and advice and keeping our kitty the most comfortable. Being able to say goodbye Angel, in her own home, meant so very much to all of us. Lisa was very organized and professional provided excellent medical support for our cat and emotional support for us. Lisa provided us the opportunity to say goodbye to Angel in the most comfortable, compassionate way possible. 10 out of 10 100% recommend 5 out of 5 Stars!
Dr. Briell Dzierga was wonderful on a very difficult day for us. She explained everything and was very caring. We could not have asked for better for our Kolby Lynn. Thank you Dr Briell!!!
We were so emotional about the whole thing but knew we did not want to take him to the vet to let him go. She was so patient and compassionate, she made it as easy as it could possibly be. She personally returned his ashes to us and again made it so easy to let our beloved pet go. It was a blessing to find her.
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.
Dr Delia was very compassionate and explained the entire process in a way that was easy for us to understand. Originally we didn’t think we were going to want his ashes, but the thought of not having him back home was gut wrenching so I contacted her on the weekend to inquire if we would still be able to bring our sweet joy home. She was very helpful and very supportive. Thank you for making this part of pet parenting a tad bit smoother then we thought it could ever be. Highly recommend Dr Delia!
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.
Why is it that the kindest thing you can do for your pet is probably the hardest decision you will have to make? I have had to go down this road too many times and on October 21st I had to do this again for my 14 year old Maltese mix. I knew we would make the transition happen at home and I was so fortunate to find Dr. Kelli Bales, DVM. Her gentleness and compassion and kindness were exactly what I needed to make this peaceful for my best buddy. She even brought a special treat for him to enjoy as a final desert. I am forever grateful for Dr. Bays.
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.
Dr. Murray was very patient and gentle with my 19 yo cat Tenni. He let me take my time. Wanted to know about my girl. He suggested a treat for her while he gave the first injection. He let me take my time and also gave me time with her after she had crossed over. Very kind and stress free and my cat went peacefully. I highly recommend Codapet. Very nice vets to do this and it helps owners an patients. Thank you Dr. Murray.
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.
Dr. Nicolette Michelli truly made the difference for us. Having to say goodbye to a family member will always be heartbreaking, but the peaceful manner in which we were able to do it brought us a lot of comfort. Dr. Michelli was kind and gentle in her communications and presence. She made herself fully available before and after. Her manner made the process easy and she had great advice for how to handle our other pups saying goodbye. There were a lot of little things she did and offered that showed how considerate and caring she is of our pets and family. It really touched us that she continued to pet our Dacoda even after she passed. We were able to say goodbye as Dacoda slept in our lap, paws in the grass and sun shining on her fur. We would highly recommend if anyone is considering.
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. Cory made what was a heartbreaking decision and day so much easier for us to get through. We had our doubts about if it was “the right time” or if we were doing “the right thing”. Dr. Cory took the time to help us become comfortable with the decision we made (over the phone prior and at our home the day of). We were blown away by the compassion and sincere empathy she showed us. She is a genuine, kind, respectful person who goes above and beyond to be a source of strength for those who are experiencing the loss of a loved companion. Being able to be share our Boxer Dog Sammi’s last moments with her in the privacy and comfort of our home allowed us to grieve and also celebrate Sammi’s amazing life without distractions or the discomfort of being in the presence of strangers at a veterinary office. Although we never met Dr Cory prior, it felt as if she was also part of our “pack” and was celebrating Sammi’s life and greiving along with us. Thank you for everything, Dr. Cory.
Dr. Randall and his team showed exceptional compassion and professionalism during one of the most difficult times of our lives. He allowed us all the time we needed to be with our little man, McNabb, and treated him with the utmost care, dignity, and respect. From my very first call—when I spoke with a kind and understanding young lady—to the moment our sweet Buggie’s ashes were returned to us, every step of the process was handled with tenderness and grace. We are forever grateful for the compassion shown to our family and our beloved McNabb. I cannot recommend Dr. Randall and his team highly enough. — Keri from Valdosta
Dr. Randolph went above & beyond for my dog Rocco & myself. This was an incredibly hard thing to go through and Dr. Randolph is such a caring and relatable person to where you will feel like he has known you & your pet your entire lives. Being able to say goodbye to my big guy in our home was incredibly important to me & I am forever grateful Dr. Randolph gave me the option of being able to do that. He collected special keepsakes of my dog. And he kept in close communication with me during the weeks leading up to having to say goodbye while my dog was In home hospice care. Thank you Matthew for everything you have done for my big guy and me. I know him & my husband are in Heaven together now and that brings me comfort.
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.
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 ❤️
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!
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 Whala has helped us through the passing of two of our dogs with a kind, compassionate, caring understanding of what we as pet owners are going through. When Dr Whala came out recently to help with what we thought was a final goodbye to our girl Bindi she let us know that Bindi had a tumor but with some medicine she recommended we were able to be with Bindi an additional 2 months. Dr Whala has a true understanding of what we as dog owners feel about our furry friends, she knows they are our family and we love them with all our hearts. There is never any rush when Karen visits your home for the final goodbye, the last moments of our babies is so difficult and Karen understands the pain we are going through. There isn't anyone I could ever recommend that would be better to help with the final goodbye for your beloved pets.
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.
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.
Dr. Stewart truly put at at ease. She was extremely caring and spent the time to get to know us and our baby. She walked us through the process and it was a very peaceful experience. We debated on taking him to the vet's office but ultimately decided it was worth the expense to have him be comfortable and for us all to be in a peaceful place for his passing. I'm very happy we took the home route and would highly recommend Dr. Stewart! Thank you for what you do and for being so caring and compassionate!
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.
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!
Lisa is extremely kind, thoughtful and patient. I couldn't have asked for a better person to assist my dog to the other side. If I could give 6 stars I would.
This was a new experience for me. I’ve had pets pass, but it was always done at my local animal hospital. This time, for my soul cat (you know, that one animal that enters your life and they become so deeply attached to you, and you to them) I wanted him to pass at home in my arms. Dr. Michelli was amazing. She is so calm, caring, and understanding. She gave me all the time I needed in between steps to say goodbye and love on my boy. He went to sleep in my arms as I wanted (and as I needed). This was what my boy deserved, and I glad I chose Codapet vs going into a vet. I highly recommend Codapet and Dr Michelli . I give her 10 out of 5 stars. Thank you Dr Michelli ⭐️
Dr. Daniela Lutri was amazing. This was a really hard time for my family and she was very compassionate. She answered any questions thoroughly and described the process step by step. I would highly recommend Dr. Lutri to anyone who is struggling the process.
Dr Mumm was so gracious during the whole procedure. Her energy was very quiet and professional. She gave us time and space to grieve which was so helpful.
Becca and Morgan made the process absolutely so wonderfully comfortable as we helped our girl cross the rainbow bridge. They are warm, accommodating and offered us so much grace, support and comfort. I couldn't recommend them more highly.
Dr. Sarah Crozier helped us in a very difficult time. Six days prior we lost our other bulldog suddenly to heart failure. Dr. Crozier was kind, understanding, patient and informative. She soothed my nerves for our poor Alfred explaining that we were providing him a pain free journey as our final gift to him. We cannot believe how incredible she was. Thank you so much Dr. Crozier. Dawna/Brent and Alfred
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.
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.
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. 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. ♥️
Dr. Larsen was so patient and compassionate in our grief. I would definitely recommend an in home euthanasia. It was so personal. Thank you Dr. Larsen for taking care of our Kilo. Thanks the Wilbur family.
When we had another cat put to sleep in a hospital it was very clinical. Garfield had an IV and was drugged. This time Dr. Noe made it a very peaceful passing. We were with her the entire time and she was able to be at home until the end. This is the best way for a pet to pass.
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
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.
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.
We recently had to say goodbye to our sweet dog, D.O.G., and Dr. Laura Dubose was the one who came to help us. She was incredibly kind, gentle, and compassionate through the entire process. Dr. Dubose treated D.O.G. with so much respect and care, making sure he was comfortable and peaceful until the very end. Even in such a heartbreaking moment, her calm and understanding presence brought us comfort. We will always be grateful for the compassion she showed our family and our boy.
I was so appreciative of Dr. Schimillen, he kindness , care and professionalism. Being able to stay home and take care of my sweet girl made a very difficult situation a little less difficult. The only thing that wasn’t perfect was the difficulty in gaining access. I realize that some pets are more difficult. Thank you,
Dr. Murray is by far the best experience we have ever had when we have had to say goodbye to our fur babies. She is very patient and empathetic and gives us time to say our goodbyes.
Dr. Mitchell was wonderful. She was very caring with our pet and our family durning a difficult time. I would highly recommend Dr. Mitchell.
I am so grateful to Dr. Murray for helping me make this very difficult process a little easier. She was calm, compassionate, and explained every step so I knew what to expect. I felt more comfortable spending my last few minutes with my beloved Poppy at home, and CodaPet allowed me to do that. Thank you for all you do.
Dr. Stukey was gentle with Buddy and very compassionate with our family. Buddy passed pain-free and quietly on to God's green pasture. Thank you, Dr. Stukey. Buddy was particularly treasured by me. I'm glad he was in your hands.
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.
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. Becca was exactly who my family needed when it came time to say goodbye to our sweet rescue boy. Because our pup was particular with who he allowed near him, we needed someone with very calm and gentle energy and Dr. Becca was very much that person. Having to say goodbye is always hard, but Dr. Becca and her assistant made an excruciating time, less so. My family highly recommends Dr. Becca when your family decides the time has come.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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
