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.
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.
Dr. Lori came earlier this year when I had to put my girl Roo down. She then came when it was time for my boy, Paco. She took the same care and compassion with him as she did with her. She talked through the whole process so that nothing was a surprise and was very comforting. I'm very grateful for Dr. Lori.
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.
Saying goodbye to Zoey was one of the hardest things we’ve had to do, but Dr. Mills made the process as peaceful and comforting as possible. She was incredibly gentle, explained every step clearly, and never made us feel rushed. We are so grateful for her compassion and the dignity that she showed our sweet baby in her final moments.
Dr Wratten treated us all like family. She made me find a little solace on this traumatizing day by how she worked and helped us send our beloved Dexter over the Rainbow Bridge. She was better than I expected in taking care of my baby.
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.
Dr. Lori Thomas was kind, compassionate and helpful. Our dear Darby was shepherded across the rainbow bridge as his time in was coming near. Dr. Lori Thomas explained what would happed and was patient while we said our goodbyes. She also helped with some after care issues and followed up with us. Thank you Dr. Thomas. Sandra G.
Lori was exactly who we needed to help with our dog Frank. Her compassion and caring cannot be overstated. We would highly recommend her to all our friends and family.
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.
Saying goodbye to our pets is difficult. Going into an office always created anxiety for my dog. Saying goodbye in his home set him at ease. Dr. Courtney made this decision & experience a little easier. She was very professional yet empathetic. She ensured there would be no rush & there wasn't. I would highly recommend Dr. Courtney.
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.
She was amazing, she made a very difficult decision and situation so much better with her genuine caring and understanding. I am so glad that we decided to go this route with our precious pet that we had loved for so many years. We highly recommend Dr. Laura DuBose.
On what is a tremendously sad day, Dr Carol Earls made the process as easy as possible. Providing us plenty of time to say goodbye and making Cobi's passing comfortable. I have had vets come to my home to provide this service a couple times before. Cobi's passing was the most peaceful. Dr Earls is a wonderful person - and made one of the worst days of my life better by being so compassionate and caring. I hope it will be many years before I need her services again - but I pray she will still be offering this service when that time comes.
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.
Our time with Dr. Nakaya was a Divine appointment as she was the "grace" we had prayed for when it came time to say goodbye to our amazing, miraculous 20 year old blind and deaf cat, Ziggy. Her calmness, patience, and knowledge of acupressure points to hold to facilitate his struggle in letting go made a big difference. It was a spiritual experience for us and I believe, Ziggy. She was generous with her time, spending nearly an hour with us. She knew just how to make a difficult situation less painful and more meaningful. We wish we had known about her when all our cats were still with us and had issues. We would highly recommend her for all vet care!
Dr. Cassandra Lewis was incredible. She made one of the toughest moments in our whole life be as comfortable and peaceful as possible. She was so calm and patient and talked us through everything. It truly felt like having a family member there with us. She was so great with our pup when she was passing and was so comforting, and was also patient with her other fur baby who was processing things in his own way. I highly recommend her.
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.
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. ♥️
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.
Dr. Alicia came into our house with such kind and compassion. She was gentle and so caring. She made saying goodbye to our precious Biggie Smalls tolerable. If you have to go through this, I would highly recommend her.
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.
Dr. Dzierga was so patient, kind and reassuring when we had to say goodbye to our cat, Patches. She explained everything she was doing and asked permission at every step to make sure that we were ready for her to continue. Dr. Dzierga made the entire process peaceful and calm for us and we greatly appreciated it.
Dr. Walton was so compassionate and gentle with Buster. She made this very difficult day as peaceful as possible. She knew we loved him so much and even shed a few tears with us. I will miss Buster the rest of my life, but I am thankful we were able to honor him and give him peace after a very difficult illness. I would recommend CodaPet to anyone facing this heartbreaking journey. They really are so very kind and gentle. My family is so grateful.
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.
Dr Jen was such a blessing. She greeted us and Chief on arrival. She was reassuring that we had made the right decision. Terribly sad day that she helped us get through.
Dr Scott-Emuakpor was so so kind as I made this decision to put my best friend to rest. She was so gentle and did not rush anything. She was caring and gave me plenty of time with my baby and time after to grieve. It’s an awful event to have to be apart of, but Dr Scott-Emuakpor made it peaceful and assured me that I was doing the right thing and everything was ok. Thank you
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.
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 ❤️
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. Rizzo was perfect. She was calm and patient; as well as incredibly understanding. She explained the process so we knew what was happening and what would happen to our pet. Our dog is reactive but she was able to work around that issue. After our dog passed and was cremated, she made sure to pick up his cremains and delivered them to us. I was terrified that they would be shipped out and lost. Dr. Rizzo made sure our pup made it back home. We are forever grateful for everything she did for us and our dog. She also came very highly recommended by a veterinarian that used her services.
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. 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.
Such a wonderful vet and person and amazing in a really difficult time. Made an extremely difficult decision and moment very peaceful.
My husband and I were so grateful for the kindness and compassion shown during one of the hardest days we've faced. Having our beloved cat Chaussettes peacefully cared for at home made an incredibly difficult goodbye much more gentle and comforting. Dr. April was patient, respectful, and truly caring throughout the entire process. She answered all our questions and let us proceed at our own pace. We couldn't have asked for a more compassionate experience, and we will always be thankful for the dignity and peace she provided for our sweet furbaby. ❤️
It was terrible to have to meet Dr. Amanda under these circumstances. That said, she was wonderful. She was kind and compassionate. She answered our questions and gave us all the time we needed to say goodbye to our Cat Tom. She was light in a very dark day. Thank you, Dr Amanda.
Saying goodbye to our beloved dog far too early was the hardest day of my life but Dr. Caitlin Klepper helped make a hard day incredibly special. The at-home service was exactly the environment our hearts needed to grieve and say goodbye to Phoebe. We had soft music playing, Phoebe was surrounded by all the people she loved dearly, and Dr. Klepper was so sincere, respectful, informational, and comforting. She walked us through each step and did it in our own time. I still replay the day in my head over and over again and as hard as it is, it was a day that was filled with so much peace as well. I highly recommend CodaPet if you’re able. The bedside manner that was displayed is one you pray humans get as well.
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. Dover was so compassionate, she called before she came over to answer my questions and make me feel more comfortable with our difficult decision. Once she got to our home, she explained everything and make it as calming and compassionate as possible.
Dr Jones was compassionate and calming during the home visit to euthanize our senior cat. She explained everything thoroughly beforehand and arrived timely. The entire process was gentle and I didn’t feel the my beloved cat suffered at all being that anesthesia was used before the euthanasia drug. My only regret is that i didn’t hold him one last time before she left with him. Otherwise it was a worthwhile experience to know i didn’t have to load him in a carrier and haul him to the vet office. The aftercare that included his cremated remains that I picked up about a week later came with a nice metal urn along with a wooden circle that had his name and his paw print. Everything was professionally done and very caring. I highly recommend Dr Jones.
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.
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.
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.
Dr.Bates was exactly what we needed in our dog's last moments. She allowed him to be where he was most comfortable, surrounded by our family. She explained all phases of the process and allowed us the time we needed.
Dr. Matthew was very compassionate, and did everything to make the process as comfortable as it could be. I would definitely recommend him to any animal lover.
Very best possible transition for our beloved dog and our family. Dr. Mumm allowed us to be out on our deck where Coda was the most comfortable in the cooler air. Our dog really liked her, too. The last hour of her life was as wonderful as we could make it, with lots of pets and love and treats. She fell asleep gently, settled right in front of me. Dr. Mumm was very reassuring to us and we helped her carry Coda out to her car on a stretcher since she was a big dog. She wrapped her in blankets on the stretcher but left her head out so the last thing we saw was her head on her paws, resting peacefully. Later we received a personal email and card from her which listed many of the activities we told her about doing with Coda. It felt like she really listened and cared! Thank you, Dr. Mumm, for making this difficult time so much better than expected!
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!
This was the first time I've had someone come to the house to put one of my fur babies to rest.. Our "Big Boy" Rocco passed peacefully with my husband and I and the compassionate assistance of Dr. Christina Vernon. I was so glad I did not have to put Rocco through the stress of moving him and Dr. Vernon made the transition peaceful. I would definitely use her services in the future. A huge Thank You to CodaPet's Dr. Christina ❤Vernon.
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.
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.
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. 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.
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.
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.
Lauren is amazing. She’s sweet and incredibly patient. She instantly feels like she’s part of the family. I would highly recommend her to anyone else going through this difficult decision. She makes it more manageable. She is incredible.
Thank you for making my final moments with my girl as calm, loving, and supported as possible. I miss her every day and am so grateful I was able to give her a peaceful transition with your help. I higly recommend Dr. McCasland to anyone researching or thinking about this important decision, because she really cares and will treat this moment with dignity and care <3. All my love to the pet parents using this service in the future.
Unfortunately, my elder dog Patience took a turn for the worse and I had to make the call that I dreaded. I had previously decided to have a vet come to the home for her passing. I didn’t want Patience trembling in fear at the vet’s office. Karen Whala arrived and she was wonderful. She took her time quietly explaining the process to me and my daughter as we cried. Patience passed peacefully in her favorite chair and I’m confident that she felt no pain thanks to Karen. Karen was the only good thing in a terrible day and I’m grateful.
Doing it at home was the best decision I could have made in such a terrible time. I wouldn’t do it any other way going forward. Dr. Murray was very caring and empathetic.
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!
Coco was our rescued cat for 10+ years and we had poor experience with taking our previous cats to the vets for their final trip. So when we saw CodaPet, we were blessed to have Dr. Sarah Wratten administer Coco's last moments with us. We had Coco here quietly with her favorite smells and sounds and us around. Dr Sarah was gentle, compassionate and, most of all, reassuring as we had never had our other cats euthanized with us at home. Dr. Sarah talked us through each step both before and during. And it was like Coco fell asleep in our laps and peacefully transitioned. Of course, we were Very Sad but experienced the most gentle passing we could hope for. No drama, no noise, at her home for so many years. This is always going to be a tough moment for any pet owner but CodaPet and Dr. Sarah met the moment with professionalism, grace, and calm that made it the best send-off for Coco we could have ever hoped for.
Dr Katie was just the person we needed to see us through the loss of our family cat. She let us tell stories, ugly cry, and sat in our backyard with us while our family said goodbye together. We were given much needed space and time to hold her after she died. I didn’t know I needed all the help she provided, but now I can’t imagine going through that without her there. Thank you Dr. Katie
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
Our family will be forever grateful to Dr. Jason Dolittle for the compassion, kindness, and exceptional care he provided during one of the most difficult days of our lives. Saying goodbye to our beloved Boerboel, Khosi, was heartbreaking, but Dr. Dolittle made the process as peaceful and dignified as possible. He took the time to explain everything, answered every question with patience, and never made us feel rushed. Most importantly, he treated Khosi with the same love, respect, and gentleness that we did. Dr. Dolittle’s calm presence brought comfort to our entire family. He ensured that Khosi was comfortable and at peace every step of the way, allowing us the opportunity to focus on loving him during his final moments. It was evident that he genuinely cared not only for Khosi, but for all of us who loved him so deeply. While no one ever wants to face the loss of a cherished family member, we could not have asked for a more compassionate veterinarian to guide us through that journey. Thank you, Dr. Dolittle, for helping our sweet boy pass peacefully and with dignity. Your kindness and professionalism will never be forgotten.
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.
Dr. Mitchell was wonderful. She was very caring with our pet and our family durning a difficult time. I would highly recommend Dr. Mitchell.
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.
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. Walden was so caring and supportive during this time. I couldn't have asked for better experience for my babies transition. Thank you so much! I would highly recommend her.
Last month, Dr. Lori Thomas helped us say goodbye to our sweet Chloe and I truly cannot express how grateful we are for her compassion, gentleness, and professionalism during one of the hardest moments of our lives. From the moment she arrived, she brought a calm and peaceful presence into our home that immediately put both us and our sweet Chloe at ease. Dr. Lori explained every step with kindness and patience, never rushing us, and gave us the time and space we needed to love on our sweet Chloe and say goodbye properly. Our sweet Chloe was able to cross the rainbow bridge peacefully at home, surrounded by familiarity, comfort, and the people who loved her most. That gift means more to us than words can say. If you are facing the heartbreaking decision of saying goodbye to your fur baby, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Lori Thomas and CodaPet. Her compassion made our experience a little softer, and we will always remember the kindness she showed our family and our sweet Chloe.💕
I always promised my Bailey a peaceful and pain was ending, and that's exactly what happened thanks to Dr. Daniela. Dr. Daniela did something completely different from anything I had experienced with my other pets, and it brought me an incredible amount of comfort during one of the hardest moments of my life. In the past, my pets were given an IV in their leg before any pain medication or sedation. It was upsetting to watch because they were uncomfortable, fighting the process, and clearly stressed. With Dr. Daniela, my cat never even flinched. She used a gentle three step process that allowed my cat to peacefully cross the Rainbow Bridge in my arms without fear, pain, or the discomfort of needles and IV placement. First, she used a tiny needle to give him an opioid and pain medication in the scruff area. The needle was so small he did not even notice it. She then waited about 10 minutes, and during that time he was completely relaxed, comfortable, pain free, and calm. Next, when I was ready, she gave him a sedative with another very small needle in his back leg. Because he was already relaxed and on opioids, he did not react at all! Then, when I was ready, she administered the final medication. The entire process felt gentle, calm, and compassionate. Dr. Daniela explained every step with kindness and empathy, which helped me tremendously through my grief. I am completely at peace with how everything happened. Knowing my cat passed away feeling safe, comfortable, and loved in my arms gives me enormous comfort. After experiencing this level of care, I would never choose any other approach for my pets in the future. At end, Dr. Daniela brought out a really comfy pet bed lined with fluffy blankets to take my fur baby away. That made me feel even better about the entire situation knowing his last trip was exactly how he would have loved it to be.
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!
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.
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!
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.
The last gift we could give our Leary was a peaceful end at home, surrounded by love. We are so grateful for vets who offer in home pet euthanasia. Dr. Martin’s calm and compassionate presence made one of the hardest moments of our lives feel a little less overwhelming. He treated Leary with such gentleness and dignity, and guided us through the process with so much care. Being able to sit with Leary, pet him, and be part of his final moments made an unimaginable experience feel a little less horrible and a lot more peaceful. Thank you for helping our sweet boy pass with love, comfort, and peace.
Renée helped our family when we needed her help the most. She was very patient and understanding with the assistance we needed from her. It’s an unfortunate experience that she made the best she could. She was very accommodating, even after the procedure was done.
