On September 22nd, our family had to say the hardest goodbye to our beloved 9-year-old Collie, Champion, after his battle with lymphoma. In the midst of our deepest heartbreak, Dr. Matthew Schaeffer was an absolute blessing. From the moment he arrived, Dr. Schaeffer showed an incredible amount of sincerity, professionalism, and genuine heart. He allowed Champion to pass peacefully outside in the yard, exactly where he loved to be, surrounded by myself, my son, and my significant other. Dr. Schaeffer made what could have been a terrifying experience into a beautiful, gentle, and easy transition into death for our sweet boy. When it was time to leave, Dr. Schaeffer took Champion with him for cremation, treating his body with the utmost dignity, respect, and care. He truly cared for my baby as if he were his own. We are absolutely heartbroken and cry for Champion daily—a piece of our family is truly missing. But we are comforted knowing his final moments were filled with peace and love. Thank you, Dr. Schaeffer, from the absolute bottom of our hearts, for your compassion from start to finish. You are a remarkable veterinarian and a truly wonderful human being.

On Tuesday, our beloved Harvey crossed over the rainbow bridge. We were blessed to be able to say goodbye to him at home, surrounded by love, in the place where he felt most comfortable thanks to in home pet euthanasia. That was a gift we will always be grateful for. He is already missed more than words can express. He was such a good, sweet boy. A piece of our hearts left with Harvey, and that space will never be filled. We will carry his love with us always. A very special thank you to Dr. Brittany Rizzo for her kindness, compassion, and gentle guidance as she helped us navigate this incredibly difficult goodbye. Having her with us meant more than she will ever know.

Dr Perzak was wonderful and compassionate as she helped us transition our beloved Roxy Bella. We were so thankful we didn’t put her through driving to the vet’s office, waiting in the waiting room, waiting in the exam room and then the traumatic walk out of the exam room without your pet, while you wait in line to pay for the services. I would highly recommend CodaPet and Dr Perzak

Dr. Bailey is extremely professional, efficient, patient, and knowledgeable. She contacted us almost immediately after we made the appointment. She arrived right on time. She clearly explained what she was going to do and what we should expect throughout the process. Most importantly, she provided the best advice and recommendations based on our family's particular situation. Dr. Bailey made one of the saddest days of our lives much easier to bear. Her professionalism, compassion, and kindness meant so much to us during such a difficult time. My entire family is deeply grateful to her for her outstanding service and support. We sincerely thank Dr. Bailey for everything she did for us.

Dr. Lisa Fieg gave us the most beautiful and peaceful experience during one of the saddest goodbyes we have ever had to do. She made it painless and gave us an energy that we are beyond grateful for. She accommodated anything we requested with care in her heart. We could not recommend her and her services enough. We are truly grateful for her and know that our dog was given the most peaceful and beautiful transition.
