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.

They were very compassionate. Just sitting on the floor guiding us during the process. They helped us deal with the fact that we did make the right decision. So warm and comforting. They were able to make time to come to our home when we needed them. They took care of all of the details for us. I would highly recommend Dr. Ayala.

I've never been more impressed with a vet. I tried everything under the sun to get my dog better and I carried such massive guilt over the decision. I didn't know what to expect, as I had never put a pet to sleep before. I didn't know how I'd handle it and was struggling all week at work to avoid crying - I didn't even tell my coworkers so that I wouldn't break down into tears. Dr. Martin immediately made me feel at ease when he arrived. He has such a warm and caring demeanor. He listened so thoughtfully when I talked about my dog and her journey, then helped me to feel reassured in my decision. The night before the appointment, he spent 30+ minutes on the phone with me because I was still questioning whether there might be something else I can do. He listened while I ran through her history from the last two years. When he brought the ashes, he even included such a nice condolence card. I'm just blown away at how smooth of a process this was and how kind Dr. Martin is. If I know of anyone going through this, I will highly recommend Codapet and Dr. Martin. I wish that he/Codapet offered home visits for regular vet exams and routine vaccines. I would definitely pay for that service for my other dogs. Thank you so much, Dr. Martin! The 5 star reviews are all true and well-deserved!

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.

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. 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.
