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 unfortunately had to make the heartbreaking decision to say goodbye to our 17-year-old dog, Rosy. When Dr. Sarah Warren arrived, she immediately embraced my parents with a hug as if she were an old friend. From the moment she came to Rosy and me, she gave off such a calm, loving, and comforting presence that even in one of the most painful moments of our lives, she brought us peace. She explained the entire process with such respect, compassion, and clarity. She climbed onto the bed with Rosy and me, gently gave her sedation, pet her, talked to her, and comforted not only us, but Rosy too. Rosy was my baby, and seeing how much genuine love and care Dr. Sarah had for her was incredibly heartwarming. You can truly see and feel how deeply she loves animals. She gave us all the time in the world to say goodbye and allowed me to make every decision about the next steps when I was ready. She made an unbearable moment just a little bit easier, and for that, I will never be able to thank her enough. Without me even needing to say the words, she understood when I was ready to say goodbye to my baby forever and comforted me through the hardest moment of my life. I am so thankful that she was the one there during Rosy’s final moments. She will forever have a special place in all our hearts for the work she does and the kindness she showed Rosy and us. She allowed us to carry my baby into the box and out to the car ourselves. The next morning, I decided I wanted to do a witness cremation. I immediately texted Dr. Sarah and received a reply within minutes. She personally helped place a hold on Rosy and even called and emailed the crematorium herself to ensure everything would be arranged. I was drowning in grief, yet she took that burden into her own hands and helped make it possible for me to see Rosy one last time before cremation. Because of Dr. Sarah, I was able to create more keepsakes and have a witness cremation a few days later. I truly cannot find the words to express how much that meant to me. Thank you, Dr. Sarah, from the bottom of my heart for treating Rosy and us with so much love and kindness. 🤍

Words cannot describe how truly amazing Dr. Lara Allison is and how lucky we feel that she was the vet who helped us during an extremely difficult time. The amount of love, kindess, and patience she showed us during the at home euthanasia of our beloved cat is something we will never forget. Dr. Allison took the time to let us share photos and stories with her before starting, and put our minds at ease by explaining the process step by step. After the euthanasia was completed she gave us ample time to say our goodbyes in private. She communicated every step of the way regarding the cremation and hand delivered our sweet boys ashes back to us 2 weeks later. She turned what we thought would be an extremely stressful experience into something so peaceful and full of love. I could not imagine and more beautiful send off or one more fitting for a cat we cherished and loved for 22 beautiful years. I cannot recommend her enough to anyone going through this difficult process. I'm thankful humans like her exist and that she has dedicated her life to helping pet parents in need.

This process was made so much easier by Dr Meadows’ team. I’m so glad Burnsie was able to pass at home with familiar surroundings. We never felt rushed, just supported and cared for. I recommend Brandon Meadows wholeheartedly.

I was so happy that Dr. Sarah was with us during our dog's final minutes. She was very compassionate and caring. She explained to us what would happen and gave us plenty of time to say our final goodbyes. Everything she said and did helped us to feel comfortable with the process. I was so happy to learn about CodaPet and that Dr. Sarah was the doctor who was sent to care for Bella. It meant the world to us to have our dog pass in her own home and bed.
