Dr. Germaine was the perfect choice for my sweet “Frankie” and I to share his last hours with. She was so compassionate and peaceful. She seemed to love my dog as much as I did. This was the fourth time in my life I have had a dog be put to sleep. I will never again do it at a vets office. This was the best decision, experience for me. Thank You!

I am so grateful to Dr. Krueger for her help during a very difficult time. She was able to come out on short notice so that we were able to say goodbye from the peace and comfort of our home. She explained everything and had a wonderful, supportive energy that was very comforting during such a tough time.

Sarah was so kind and compassionate. I knew without words exchanged that she agreed I was making the right decision. She was so wonderful. I have no adequate words to describe how wonderful she was and is.

Euthanasia literally translates to "good death" and as someone who worked in the death industry for 5 years, I am intimately associated with dying, death, and after death processes. Despite this experience, nothing in this life prepares you for the responsibility of choosing the "when" of your beloved companion's death. I had many discussions with our primary vet regarding Bane's impending death and I knew I wanted him to die at home in his favorite spot. They referred me to Codapet in order to make sure Bane would be able to die at home. When the day came, Dr. Wasmoen respectfully entered to our home. She was calm, soft spoken, patient, and reassuring. Her transparency and stable presence during one of the hardest decisions of my life cannot be understated. Although, I will never be able to describe in words the gift she gave my family by helping with this transition; I can say that Bane died peacefully, with dignity, and surrounded by love. THAT is a "good death" to me.

My beloved senior tuxedo cat Neemo got diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma in his mouth and jaw and began to decline very very rapidly. When it was time to say goodbye, I dreaded taking him to a vet clinic or ER where we would have to ride in the car, sit in a waiting room with people and other pets, and not know exactly when we would be seen for a last-minute or walk in appointment. Clicking that schedule button was honestly emotionally one of the most difficult moments I've ever faced, but in my heart I knew it was time, so I was very thankful for the option to schedule so quickly. Dr. Becca and vet tech assistant Morgan in Los Angeles were absolute ANGELS on one of my hardest days ever. When they arrived at my apartment, Dr. Becca and Morgan greeted me and Neemo kindly, and talked with me about his life and what kind of cat he was which really helped me feel more at ease. She then talked me through exactly what the procedure would entail and what I would expect. She talked with me and to Neemo throughout the procedure in a calm, reassuring voice which relieved both his anxiety and mine immensely until his final moment. I was then given a moment alone with my baby to hold him and to say my final goodbye. I truly could not have asked or hoped for a better goodbye for my precious feline child. And the mementos I now have of him- his ashes, prints of his nose and paws, and a clay paw print are beautiful things I will cherish forever. Thank you again to the wonderful Dr. Becca and vet tech Morgan for their compassionate care through CodaPet. Veterinary professionals like them are truly angels in our world <3

I fought putting Floyd to sleep for about a year but I think he was really ready. Even though it was so sad, Sarah was so sweet and calm. She gave us space to just love him and she told us exactly what she was going to do and how Floyd was going to be with each step. He was his usual wonderful self and let her do what she needed to do. She asked us if we wanted some of his hair but he was very dirty because I wasn’t going to torture him with baths. But we have his footprints paper and one on like cement. I love my dog so much and this was the most gentle kind way for him to go live with my other dogs. I cannot thank Sarah enough. I recommend her completely.
