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.
I had never heard of end of life care at home. Making the appointment was very difficult. Dr. Mary was wonderful. She was kind, carrying, and compassionate. Oreo ( Cookie) was a part of our family since she was born. We loved her dearly. Dr. Mary made us feel comfortable. She was so gentle with Cookie. Our family was treated with compassion. I made the right decision and will always choose end of life care at home. Thank you Dr. Mary. Thank you for everything you do.
Though it was utmost painful and sad decision we had to let our beloved Gucci go. Dr. Lowman reassured us of our decision, and carried out the process with such compassion and heart warming. Gucci had a calming, pain free, and was laid to rest peacefully in our arms. We were given enough time to say goodbye to him. We are very thankful to Dr. Lowman for her professionalism, communication, and compassion from start to finish, and a heart felt sympathy card as we are still missing his presence. We highly recommend Dr. Lowman to any pet parents looking for a veterinarian for in home euthanasia. Thank you so much Dr. Lowman, and Best wishes to you!
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. ♥️
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 Loweth went above and beyond. The compassion she gave us and the extra time and effort she put into this to help us with such a difficult decision was heartfelt Truly compassionate person
Dr. Tom provided the most compassionate and respectful care we could have hoped for. Saying goodbye to our dog, Heidi, was incredibly sad, but having it happen at home, in a calm and familiar space, made all the difference. Dr. Tom was patient, gentle, and thorough in explaining every step of the process. He never rushed us and made sure Heidi was comfortable and peaceful throughout. His presence was steady and kind, and it was clear he truly cares about both his patients and the families who love them. He also took time to offer thoughtful guidance and reassurance about how our other dog, Mac, might experience the loss and how we could best support him through the transition. That extra care for our whole family meant more than he probably knows. We are deeply grateful for the dignity and compassion he showed Heidi and for the way he supported us through such a difficult decision. I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Tom to anyone needing in-home euthanasia for their pet. His care brought comfort when we needed it most.
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.
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.
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!
Thank you so much for making this process as painless a possible. Your professionalism and heartfelt condolences truly helped us along the way.
Dr. Josh was amazingly kind. He came to help us say goodbye to our cat Mister. He described the process thoroughly had us take part as much as we were comfortable and gave us all the time we needed to say goodbye. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough.
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. Jill Thomason was exactly the kind, gentle, and understanding vet we hoped she would be when the time came to euthanize our beloved dog at home. She quickly connected with him, communicated clearly us, and was a much appreciated guide through a heartbreaking, emotional event. I simply cannot recommend her highly enough. If you are lucky enough to have a choice, I would choose Dr. Thomason.
Dr. Noe made a heartbreaking loss a little more bearable. She was so kind, empathetic, patient- our family was so happy we chose CodaPet. Thank you, Dr. Noe. Desi Bisconer & family
Dr. Lauren is a God send. She is very professional and very compassionate. Losing a Loved pet is very hard. Thank you Dr. Lauren for making the transition so much easier for myself and my family.
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.
She was quiet, and so kind. I was full of my broken heart. The following week I received a hand written card and the most beautiful glass rainbow beaded window charm. With Shylos name etched on a heart. It hangs in my kitchen window. He's buried right outside that window. His favorite spot.
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.
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.
Dr. Harper felt more like a family member who had known our sweet girl all her life and I felt she really understood how hard this decision was for us. She was patient, and thoughtful and we would recommend her again and again.
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.
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 ❤️
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. 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.
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 Kim was incredibly compassionate thought this entire process. She contacted me directly after the appointment was booked in order to check on my baby’s status . She wanted to be sure that I didn’t need her sooner and that I was comfortable with the decision that Euthenasia was the most loving option for my beloved boy Toby. I am forever grateful for the kindness/caring that she showed me, my family and Toby .
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.
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. Lori Thomas made my Joey's passing as peaceful as possible, in his backyard with sun on his face. Thank you Dr. Lori for helping us through such a rough day.
Dr. Meadows was amazing with us and our pet in our time of need. I could see that my cat needed assistance right away, and he showed up for us and more. He was very clear, but empathetic, about what would happen and when when the time came, and he and his team did an incredible job seeing through that her remains were handled respectfully and with care. You can tell Dr. Meadows really understands and cares for animals and the people who love them. I cannot express how thankful I am that he showed up for us when he did and helped my cat pass on. Thank you so much 🙏
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.
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.
She is very calm and compassionate. Dr. Jacque has put down two of my dogs and, on the first one, offered words of wisdom to help me make the decision.
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. Whala was so compassionate and caring. It was such a blessing to be able to have her come to our home. Honey was n her favorite spot by the fire. Saying good bye to our fur babies is never easy but Dr. Whala sure helped! Thank you!
Dr. Clem was so compassionate and really made this difficult time much easier for us. I would highly recommend Coda Pet. It is well worth a few more dollars to allow your pet and yourselves the dignity and comfort of being in your own home.
Dr.Ramos was amazing in helping Bryan cross over . She was very compassionate and made Bryan’s journey pain free . Thank you Dr.Ramos for your support and kindness and services. You are a blessing indeed .
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. 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.
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.
One of the hardest decisions of my life was to put our family’s beloved pet, Rocky, to rest. He was mentally sharp, but his body couldn’t provide him with the quality of life he desperately deserved. Reaching out to Coda Pet put us in contact with Dr. Brittany Rizzo who made this painful process bearable. Upon arrival, she calmy greeted Rocky along with my kids and I. Rocky, who was a chihuahua, shockingly was very welcoming to her presence. Brittany briefly explained the processed and was so patient with all of us while we said our finial “see-ya laters” to him. As sad as it was to let him go, I couldn’t have asked for anything to go any different that day. Thank you, Dr. Rizzo for being there for us but especially for Rocky.
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. 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 Jones was able to come and help with our sweet Max. It was devastating to have to let him go but Dr Jones did an amazing job caring for him and helping us get through such a heart-breaking day. Our Max, went so peacefully and was taken care of by Dr Jones and Fond Memories afterwards. We will always be grateful that Max was able to go over the Rainbow Bridge surrounded by those that loved him so deeply.
Dr. Noe was absolutely a shining light in our families dark moment. She walked us through the process and made it easier to say goodbye to our best boy. Thank you Dr. Noe, you are an angel on earth.
Dr.Sara was very polite and had a very warm energy. She came to my house on one of the hardest days of my life and she was gentle and her tone was very low and soft. She made sure we were all comfortable during the whole process and made us feel heard and seen. She was very professional and made sure to explain everything step by step. She was so gentle when she left the house with my baby. Thank you so much for being there and helping us get through a very difficult time.
This was the first time I've ever had to euthanize a beloved pet and Dr Nicolette was very caring and explained the whole process. She was very patient and respectful and had a calming demeanor. She helped ease our sweet Ace's pain as we helped him cross the rainbow bridge... I am grateful for this type of service she has chosen. I don't know how she does it, but she is an angel for it. Thank you Dr Nicolette. Ace was able to pass peacefully in his own home surrounded by his loved ones.
Dr. Fieg was so professional and heartwarming to have in our house for our last hour with our Katie girl. She was kind and explained every step of the process up until her last breath. She is professional and caring and I highly recommend her for any pet parents in the future that have to make the tough decision to let their furry family member go.
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.
We recently had to make the heartbreaking decision to put our sweet baby to sleep, and Dr. Megan Blasier Duvall was nothing short of amazing throughout the entire process. She was incredibly gentle, compassionate, and loving with our dog, treating them with the same care you’d give a member of your own family. Her kindness and understanding made one of the hardest moments of our lives a little more bearable. She spoke to us with patience, explained everything clearly, and gave us the time and space we needed. We are forever grateful for the comfort and dignity she provided our beloved pet in their final moments. I also want to mention how wonderful her entire office staff was. They followed up with us afterward and sent the sweetest handwritten card. It meant more than they know and brought us a lot of comfort during such a difficult time. That level of compassion is rare and deeply appreciated. Thank you, Dr. Megan Blasier Duvall, and your amazing team, for the love, empathy, and support you showed our baby and our family. We will never forget it. Reggie Provo and Jessica Bruce
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. Duvall really helped make the transition of our little Pippi as peaceful as possible. The evening before, I had needed to reach out about an emergency with my dog and she promptly responded & helped ease my fears. The next day she arrived on time which was awesome bc had she been early or late, I might have been spiraling since the anticipation was way worse than my dog’s very gentle & peaceful transition. She let Pippi have her last favorite meal & let me hold her in my arms the whole time. It could not have gone smoother, for as difficult as it was. Thanks Dr. Duvall 💜
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.Whala helped make a very sad and emotional time as good as it could have been. I am so blessed to have had her there to help me say goodbye to Sippy . I can not thank her enough .
I would leave a 10 star review if could Dr Delia Gregory Macdonald was absolutely amazing she most definitely is "The Angel of Death" very compassionate and empathetic person she made my beloved Gracie and myself feel so at ease during the whole visit and process i am definitely glad I chose this option. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you again, Dr. Delia bless you. I'm definitely going to recommend your services to all my friends when they are in need ... really truly cannot say enough kind words about this woman.
I can't say enough about Dr Loweth. She handled such a difficult situation with so much kindness and empathy, and she gave our sweet dog's last day such dignity. We had never met before she arrived at our home, but she immediately felt like a friend. I couldn't recommend her more highly.
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.
On one of the hardest days of my life, Dr. Jem Scott-Emaukpor provided both me and my pet, Ace, with a peaceful ending. Not fond of strangers, Ace actually gave her kisses within a few minutes of meeting her because of her calm, reassuring presence.
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. 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.
Dr. Kelsey was very communicative and compassionate. She was on time and patient while explaining the very difficult process of letting our 19 year old Border Collie go to God. Dr Kelsey handled everything from start to finish with amazing profresionalism, helping to make a tough decision a little bit easier. We highly recommend her to help you and your pet find peace.
Dr. Marisel San Miguel was so wonderful to our Willie and to us!! Her calming manner seemed to radiate through the room! She made such a hard time a lot easier
Dr Dixon met our family in a painful moment and immediately understood how we wanted to handle the final moments with our beloved Maggie. It helped us focus and begin our grieving process. We will be forever grateful.
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.
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. Parks was a wonderful doctor to have with us during Nico’s final moments. We greatly appreciate her kind, thoughtful, and gentle approach during our incredibly difficult time. We were so grateful for Dr. Parks coming on fairly short notice and helping us through the heartache of parting with our beloved beastie Nico.
Dr. Angela was amazing. The decision to let a family member that had been with us for fourteen years was devastating to my family. Dr. Angela was warm, compassionate, kind, and had all the empathy in the world for my family and me. I recommend this service with the highest recommendation. It was so more intimate and peaceful than when we’ve had to let other pets go at the vets office. Thank you, Dr. Angela, for making a terrible day just a little bit better
Dr. Murray was heaven sent for our family and our Chihuahua Voz. We knew Voz had limited time but he deteriorated quickly overnight on a weekend. Our vet was not available for compassionate euthanization when Voz needed it and we were heartbroken and anxious. A friend steered us to Dr. Murray and he made Voz a priority on a Saturday afternoon, he met us and Voz and discussed our best options. He helped us to feel comfortable with our decision and treated our Voz as if he were his own. While we were devastated, we felt comforted that this happened in a space that was important for Voz and us. Dr. Murray can never know how important he was to us that day.
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. Le Blanc was exactly what our grieving household needed under the circumstances. Our very ill elderly dog tried his best to stand and bark to defend his home when Dr. Le Blac arrived at the door. She immediately moved toward him with a calming voice and outstretched hand, stroking his head and letting him know he could relax. She continued to pet him for nearly 30 minutes while we discussed our trepidations making this decision. Her evaluation of Alvin's condition and apparent suffering matched that of his regular veterinarian and our own sad realization. Dr. Le Blanc explained the process and answered our questions before taking any further action. She paused at each step confirming our and Alvin's readiness to proceed to the next step. We very much appreciated her considerate and calm approach throughout the process. She truly recognized how difficult and emotionally challenging euthanizing our beloved family member of over 16 years was impacting us. She approached her tasks with reverence and respect and gave us the support and time we needed at each stage. It was a blessing for us and for Alvin that relief from his suffering could occur at home in his favorite spot on the couch while we softly stroked our loving buddy's head and back until Dr. Le Blanc quietly said he's gone now. I'm so grateful that Alvin's last memories were not of his typically traumatic car trip to the vet's office, encountering the other pets in the waiting area and ultimately being put on a cold table in a strange room with various assistants moving about before the vet entered to begin the procedure. I doubt his vet would have been able to spend much time with him given her other office demands. Transporting Alvin would have been physically painful and emotionally taxing on him and on us. It would have only served to heighten his anxiety and distress. Saying goodbye and leaving him there afterwards would have left us questioning whether we'd done the right and best thing for our dear pet and beloved family member during his last moments with us. Choosing a home-visiting vet from lists on web sites could have resulted in getting a skilled professional who got the job done but without much heart or meaningful connection to the pet and other household members. That is what we feared most and would have brooded over for months to follow. Destiny lead us to Dr. LeBlanc and her expertise and style was exactly what we had hoped for. We are eternally grateful and highly recommend you strongly consider her if you are in a similar situation.
Thank you for being with us in such a hard moment and walking us through the entire thing. I appreciated not having to do anything after the visit and getting her ashes delivered directly to our door.
