Dr Loweth was amazingly supportive and calm during this most difficult goodbye with my soul dog. She walked us through the whole process. I’m grateful that we got to say goodbye to my beautiful Sunday, at home, surrounded by her human and do and cat family.

Cara was incredible at her job and full of peace and compassion. Just a few hours ago we had to say goodbye to a family friend’s dog. I was sad and nervous as to how the experience would go. We could not have had a better professional, kind hearted, empathetic person to help us with such a hard day. Cara was very communicative and talked us through the whole process. Our sweet dog we said goodbye to was completely at peace and serene through the whole experience. He had a history of being afraid of strangers and being aggressive but it’s as if he knew Cara was only there to help him and offer him peace and kindness. He instantly became friends with her. The whole process made me feel at peace and very cared for as well. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs at home euthanasia.

Doing this at home spared my little darling the stress of going to the vet office. Dr Meadows was wonderful and understood our difficulty in making the decision.

I recently had to say goodbye to one of my pets, and I wanted to take a moment to share my gratitude for the incredible kindness and compassion shown by Dr Silvesti. From the moment she arrived, she brought with her a calming presence. She spoke to me softly, she moved gently and she was patient - absolutely nothing was rushed. She truly gave me the time and space I needed to say goodbye - in my own time. What meant the most was how she worked around me. I didn’t want to let go of my pet during the process, and she respected that fully, allowing me to hold my pet in my arms the entire time. She explained everything and never once did I feel pressured or uncomfortable. There was no sense of guilt, no judgment — only compassion and understanding at a time when I definitely needed it. We all too often turn the pain and hurt inward, looking for fault and taking the blame, but she didn’t let me do that to myself. I know I’m not alone in the heartbreak of losing a pet, and I know my experience is not more unique or more painful than anyone else’s, but it makes such a difference when someone takes the time to truly care. Dr Silvesti did that, and I will always be grateful. I will recommend CODA to anyone facing this difficult moment because of their service and empathy during such a difficult time. Thank you Dr Silvesti! - Nancye Lewis

Dr.Thomas was extremely patient with this wish-washy dog mom. She took time to discuss with the family, and gave us time and space to make the final decision. She was extremely gentle with my Freckles, and made her passing calm and pain free.

Dr. Wasmoen is so calm and caring during a very difficult time. Our beloved 14 yr old dog had been recently diagnosed with diabetes and we made the decision not to treat. So, when the time came to have him put to sleep, I came in contact with Dr. Wasmoen through Coda-pet. She came to our home and was so kind and considerate of our feelings and even reassured me that it was the right thing to do. She explained everything that would happen very clearly before and while she was doing the procedure. We had as much time as we wanted to spend with him afterwards and she took him out in a basket wrapped in a blanket. Every step of the process was so well done. We received his paw print, some of his hair and later, his ashes. It was such a difficult time but she made it a peaceful ending to his wonderful life.
