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.

We had to make the heartbreaking decision to say goodbye to our sweet Stella, and we chose at-home euthanasia so she could be surrounded by love in her own space. From the moment Dr. Keri Wasmoen arrived, her kindness and empathy were evident. She spoke softly, gave us the time and space to say goodbye, and made sure Stella was comfortable every step of the way. The entire experience was handled with such compassion, dignity, and care. Stella felt safe and loved up to her very last moment with us. Every step was explained gently, and she treated Stella like she truly mattered. We will always be grateful for how peaceful she made such a heartbreaking moment. It didn’t feel rushed or clinical—it felt like a peaceful, loving goodbye. We truly couldn’t have asked for a more compassionate experience during such a difficult time.

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.

She immediately put me at ease with her professionalism. All the stress I was dealing with gave way to trusting her to gently administer the final dosage to my pet. I would use this service again.

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 ❤️
