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.
I had to put my 9 year old Husky Lizzie down due to illness. Dr. Torres did everything she could to make the process as painless as possible. She spent time playing with Lizzie beforehand and was very kind and caring with her and me. Her death happened very quickly and she gave me plenty of time to say goodbye and told me every step of the way what to expect. This was the most loving and dignified way I could think of to say good bye to my little baby Lizzie.
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.
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.
Heather has such a beautiful soul and I thank her from the bottom of my heart for making Rocky’s passing so loving and peaceful for my family and most importantly for Rocky.We miss you Rocky!
I just want to thank Dr. Kyra Heirich she was such an amazing, caring, loving and so supporting through this extremely difficult time. She kept in touch ever step of the way and always shared her condolences and supportive words. My family and I could not thank her enough for helping us and our precious Jade through this difficult time. And our precious Jade came back home personally delivered by Dr. Kyra was such a beautiful core memory how they captured and brought our Jade home. Such a beautiful box and paw print. 🐾 Thank you again for being there for us every step of the way Dr. Kyra.
Dr. Somerset provided such a compassionate and peaceful experience during one of the hardest moments for our family. Her kindness and genuine care immediately put us at ease, and we felt completely supported throughout the entire process. Our fur baby was treated with the utmost dignity and tenderness, which meant everything to us. She also took the time to reach out beforehand to address my concerns, showing a level of thoughtfulness and dedication we will never forget.
Dr. 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 Jill is kind and compassionate. Sly Fox greeted her as if she was a old friend. I knew right there and then that he was comfortable with her. I can't thank her enough for being so wonderful at the worst time of my life.
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. 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.
I cannot overstate how incredibly compassionate, professional, and caring Dr. Mills was with our family and our cat, Murray, on his most difficult day. She worked us into her already full schedule due to our emergency needs. Dr. Mills was able to adjust her standard routine to meet our needs and make everything as easy as possible for our Murray. She was so respectful of Murray and our family and she explained everything that was happening before she moved to the next step. I can’t give her enough praise, and I am so thankful that she provides such a critical & compassionate service.
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.
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.
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!
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.
On time, professional and caring. Gave us the time we needed to say our goodbyes. Explained her actions beforehand. Helped make a terrible event less painful
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.
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.
Where to start... I first talked to Dr. Gibson via text when I found out Cisco's cancer had moved to his lungs. He wasn't ready to go yet, but I wanted to be prepared. At the time I would have described her as compassionate, caring, and kind. I was soon to find out that she is so much more than that. What the Oncologist thought would be a few weeks to a few months turned out to be 9 days. I had already set a tentative date for the 22nd, but after seeing Cisco & the realization that he was holding on for me to get home (I work out of town 13 on, 1 day off) Through tears and a plethora of other emotions I immediately reached out to Dr. Gibson & let her know the situation and that I needed to set my baby boy free. She was amazing, nothing was forced, nothing rushed. She met Cisco, he hobbled over and greeted her, Then he finally laid down on his blanket in the afternoon Sun. He told me it was time. She walked us through everything, paid attention to every detail & went above & beyond what I expected or could have ever hoped for. She gave me nose and pawprints to remember him, I never would have thought of that, a Keychain with his hair, and walked me through even after the fact. She made sure the crematorium got what they needed from me & tomorrow I"ll be going to pick his ashes up. I don't know how Dr. Gibson does it, but she took every hope I had in helping set Cisco free & not only exceeded them, she blew them out of the water. She is amazing & I am blessed to have had her in one of the toughest times in my life. She is an Angel !
Dr Heirich is amazing. She came to my house to do the euthanasia of my beloved cat who had cancer. She was empathetic and practical. She explained everything she was doing before and during. Even my cat loved her and actually went to her knowing she was going to ease his pain. Dr Heirich made a very hard experience, peaceful and comforting. Thank you Dr Heirich.
Dr Colbert was so caring and inspirational in helping us transition LT in this difficult time process. We are forever grateful for her caring and nurturing position in such a trying time.
When we knew it was time to send our dog Charlie over the Rainbow Bridge, my wife and I didn't want his last moments to be shaking and terrified in a vet office. Dr. Bailey came to our home, spoke with us about the process, and caringly got us through the process of putting him to sleep. Charlie went over the bridge in peace without any pain or anxiety. She genuinely cares about the animals comfort and the pet owners grief and anxiety of making such a difficult decision. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs to put their pet out of it's suffering and prefers to do it at home, she is wonderful.
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. Simpson could not have been more kind, gentle and patient as she helped us say goodbye to our beloved Sadie. When we are faced with this heartbreaking situation again, we will absolutely seek her services again, and we recommend her 100%.
We had to make the very difficult decision to lay our sweet Riley to rest. Dr. Laura Allison was kind, patient, and deeply compassionate. She brought us comfort during one of the hardest moments our family has faced.We are very grateful to have found Dr. Laura Allison. -The Hill Family
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.
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.
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.
Absolutely amazing (Dr Bean and Nicole). They made to process non painful for my beloved dog “Annie “. I highly recommend them! Very kind and really great people!
Dr. Jill Thomason was so compassionate and helpful through this very tough ordeal. Her ability on how to handle the whole situation truly helped us. It made the transition for our little one to be truly peaceful.
Thank you for being so helpful, kind and compassionate, taking part of what was such a devastating time for me, (im crying while writing). The card was a sweet surprise, which i will add to Sarges place of honor. I miss my boy so much, his transition was in his bed, at his home, and thats how I wanted to honor my good boy. I will, without hesitation recommend you. Sincerely Josie - Sargents mommy
Dr. Mitchell was wonderful. She was very caring with our pet and our family durning a difficult time. I would highly recommend Dr. Mitchell.
Although a difficult time of loss for our family, Dr. Martin comforting presence helped us through it. He also brought us the ashes in a beautiful and thoughtful package. Thank you Dr. Martin and CodPet for the experience. Ella and James
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. 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 Torres was very caring and carefully explained everything to us. Our pet, Hershey, was treated very respectfully and did not suffer any fear or anxiety like he would have at a veterinary office.
Andrea was very compassionate, communicative and empathetic when she came to help our 15 year old Border Terrier - Bella, rest in peace. We knew after many episodes of illness this was the end of her struggle. Dr. Dover came out on a Sunday, exactly at the time we requested. She asked questions about Bella and gave us expectations on what would happen. It all went smoothly and as best it could under the circumstances. She took her gently after we said our goodbyes. Within about a week, we got Bella’s ashes back from Peaceful Paws in a very nice wooden urn - along with a footprint, a little fur and a certificate. Would highly recommend Andrea and Peaceful Paws.
Dr Rob was great. He explained everything he was going to do beforehand and then every step he took. He comforted our Bud and us. He reassured us and commented on our visible love for him. Everything went smoothly except my tears. He showed empathy and caring
A week ago we had to said goodbye to our beloved Kia. The pain of losing a family member is intense. We are thankful, however , that we had the assistance from Dr. Shannon Nakaya for a safe and calm experience at home. Our little doggie was always terrified at the veterinary clinic, her 15 pound frame shook from head to tail, it was nice to see her happy and relaxed in my arms, eating a treat and wagging her tail one last time.
Dr. Gersten was incredibly kind, compassionate, and informative during one of the hardest moments of my life. She made the process of saying goodbye to my beloved dog feel peaceful and respectful, taking the time to explain everything and allowing me the space to be present. What meant even more to me was that two weeks later, she personally brought Lilly’s ashes to my home. That level of care and thoughtfulness is something I will never forget. I’m so grateful to have had her support during such a difficult time. She truly goes above and beyond for both her patients and their families.
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!
We had a great experience with Dr. Randolph. He took care of our baby and made sure we were doing well. He has a calming demeanor and was able to explain everything very well as he was getting things done. He brought our little baby’s ashes back to the house within a week. Overall the service was great. I do not wish we go through anything like this but if we ever do, I will be definitely calling Dr. Randolph for his services.
Dr. Suzanne Causey was exactly who and what we needed her to be for our dear Skyler. She was timely; in and out professionally and conscientiously. I especially liked that she had a helper at the ready to assist in transporting Skyler. I also liked that the next morning, Skyler came back home to us with the proper dignity. This is our second friend we had to say goodbye to, and will always remember how well coda pet has treated us. Thanks again, Dr. Causey. I know it isn’t an easy job, but it takes a certain humanity to see that it is done compassionately.Shane Barnes
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. Walton and her assistant were very compassionate and patient. The whole in home euthanasia process was explained at the beginning and my Layla was put to rest in the most humane way possible. Thank you.
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 was so pleased with the care and respect that Dr. DeWitt showed our sweet pup and us. Speaking with her before and during the process assured me that I was making the best and right decision. From meeting us to transferring our sweet Nova to her car, everything went smoothly. I couldn't have asked for anything different. It was, as she described, the best last gift we could give our adored dog.
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.
Just wanted to thank Dr Renee Schott for her help. We knew it was time,but had to make that hard decision. Dr Schott made sure we were ready and Steve was at ease and felt no pain. Thank you for your services.
She was wonderful! I would recommend her for this service to anyone. She made the process much easier for us♥️ Thanks for being the best for our Tilly girl!!
Josh is an absolutely beautiful human being. He was so kind and comforting. He helped make her passing the best possible experience that it could’ve been. We will be grateful to him, always. He’s very special. ❤️
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. 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.
Words can not express how grateful I am for Dr. Michelli. Nobody ever wants to go through the loss of a pet, but Dr. Michelli was an absolute blessing to go through this experience with. She was so compassionate and her professionalism was astonishing. The detailed care that went into the handling of my pet was extraordinary and beyond words. One of the best experiences I have ever had considering the circumstances. Thank you Dr. Michelli for everything you did for my family ❤️
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. 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.
Amanda was so amazing during this difficult experience. If you are struggling with the decision I highly recommend her. She took time with us and our sweet Ace.
Dr. Ann explained the euthanization process thoroughly. She was kind , patient and respected our time to say goodbye to our beloved Odin.
Dr Sara Gardhouse was very nice and gentle with our dog. I would highly recommend her to come to your house to have a peaceful experience! She was very compassionate.
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. 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. 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. Jones was very kind through the whole difficult process. She helped our sweet Lady Lynn of 13 yrs feel comfortable and us as well. She took her time and went with the pace our family was comfortable with. We will forever miss our Lady Lynn but I am thankful for the service provided to make it comfortable at home for her to pass. Thank you.
When we unfortunately had to find someone to euthanize our beloved dog Auggie, we did a lot of research and talked to many companies to find the right professional to help us in our home. It was important for us to do this at home and make our dog feel comfortable! We received a recommendation for Dr. John Murry through Code a Pet and we are very thankful that we did. He was very communicative prior to arriving at our house and right away made us feel very at ease, at least as much as we could considering what we were about to do. Once he arrived he took the time to explain the process, how it would be done and to insure that we were as comfortable as possible and that our dog would not feel any pain. He was very considerate and compassionate the whole time. He took the time to ask about Auggie and listened while we shared stories and our history together. We have had to unfortunately do this for our prior dog and 2 cats, and wish we could have used Dr. Murry and could have done this at home like we did with our dog Auggie. It was so much more serene and comfortable for our pet to be home in his familiar environment. I highly recommend this process and especially Dr. John Murry! We couldn't have been happier all things considered. Thank you Dr. Murry!
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.
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.
Very calm and professional. The only thing I was confused about was I was given one price over phone, then it tripled when he wrote up papers.
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 Peterson was amazing. She was kind and gracious. She took such good care of my girl. This is the worst day in any pet guardian's life, but this process grants our pets so much comfort and kindness in their last moments. I could not have imagined a better experience.
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. 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.
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 ❤️
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. Anna was responsive and compassionate and we had a very sweet and peaceful goodbye in our home instead of at an emergency vet because she was willing to come to our very rural house. Could not have asked for more from her.
While we were 100% certain that our dog was dying and needed to be euthanized, it seemed strange in hindsight that Dr Izlar didn’t examine her directly or ask to see her medical records before performing the procedure. Isn’t that part of a doctor’s responsibility to confirm that the dog is terminally ill before going forward? She was very direct, explained the process and was respectful toward us. I think we just aren’t familiar with how another vet would have handled the same situation if we sowed up at their office and asked them to euthanize our dog. I pray this is our only experience like this.
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. Banks was very kind and compassionate during one of the most difficult decisions I've ever had to make. She took the time to explain what would take place and gently introduced herself to Murphy so he would feel comfortable with her. She also respected the time line that we had discussed earlier for the procedure . Her comforting words, reassurance, and professionalism along the way, while making sure he was comfortable in his final moments with us, meant the world to me. She was even kind enough to let me carry him to her car so I could say my final goodbye. I miss my little one tremendously, but I take comfort in knowing that he had the very best of care thanks to Dr. Banks.
