We contacted Coda after striking out with our regular vet and 2 other local vets who do in-home euthanasia. (One of which hasn't called us back after 15 days.) Our dog's condition was declining rapidly, and Dr Adarraga went above and beyond to move up his scheduled arrival time. When it was obvious there was no hope of recovery, Dr Adarraga ended Buddy's suffering in the gentlest, kindest way, explaining the procedure to us and supporting our decision. He was professional but also so sympathetic. Thank you, Dr Adarraga and Coda!

I appreciate that she came to my house within 2 hours lucky we live close to each other she says. However after Bear was put down she says take your time. But she kept on hovering over me kinda rushing me and I finally said can u go wait in the livingroom. Sure no problem. Then a few minutes later she says her car is getting warm so need to wrap things up. I feel as if I didn’t get enough time. Second I told her I wanted private cremation so assuming from the past paw print and fur clipping came with it. It does not and she never brought it up. Or engraving on the box. So I don’t get Bears paw print clippings and had to bring Bears ashes back to cremation shop to get the engraving. Third I emailed her a couple times asking where Bear is. Can I pick her up when she’s ready? Where is she? When will she be ready? No response. I had to call around to find my pup. Not impressed at all. Quite disappointing actually.

We recently had to make the difficult choice for our dog to utilize in home pet euthanasia. As this was our first loss of this kind, our vet referred us to CodaPet. From the sensitive and informative text messages and the gentle explanation of the procedure to the absolute love she showed our dog and our whole family, Dr. Angela Schmillen of CodaPet far exceeded our expectations. We hadn't seen our dog wag her tail in days, but the second she met Dr. Angela, it was obvious that she knew she was in good and capable hands. Dr. Angela's kindness and compassion throughout the experience was beyond what we could have expected. In fact, my children (ages 20, 21, and 25), who were all present, have remarked numerous times in the last four days about how absolutely fantastic she was at putting them at ease and genuinely expressing care not only for Piper but for all of us too. I would highly recommend CodaPet if you need in home pet euthanasia, and, above all, I would most certainly suggest you request Dr. Angela Schmillen as the veterinarian to walk through this experience with your family.

I've used Dr. Meredith twice in two completely different circumstances and in both case I was beyond satisfied. She shows a great deal of empathy and understanding and made the difficult process as smooth and comfortable as possible. She is professional and careful while being supportive for both the pet and the family. I would highly recommend her to anyone finding themselves in need of this service. I genuinely felt relief to find someone so kind to handle this process for me.

Losing Tigressa was one of the hardest things we've ever been through, and Dr. Megan Lowman treated her—and us—with extraordinary compassion and kindness. From the moment she arrived, Dr. Lowman gave us the time we needed, explained everything gently, and made an incredibly painful experience as peaceful and dignified as possible. She treated Tigressa with such respect and genuine love, and it was clear that she truly cares about both her patients and the families who love them. Being able to say goodbye in the comfort of our home was an immeasurable gift, and Dr. Lowman's calm, caring presence brought us comfort during one of the most difficult moments of our lives. We will always be grateful for the compassion, professionalism, and empathy she showed our family. Thank you for helping Tigressa leave this world surrounded by love.

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.
