It's taken me about three weeks to be able to post this. I met Dr. Guerrero at the emergency care facility after my cat Molly had a bleeding event. Dr. G diagnosed her with an oral cancer. It was incredibly difficult, but Dr. G's kind treatment of it made it bearable, and I began to care for Molly in a hospice-like setting at my home. When her time came some 7 or 8 weeks later, I made sure to schedule the in-home visit with Dr. Guerrero. She was on time, kind and very compassionate. We talked over Molly's condition first, and she reassured me about my decision. The process, while incredibly sad for me, was handled as well as I could imagine. Dr. G was gentle and kind to Molly. She was never in a rush. When it was over, she even brought in a little basket for Molly, and covered her in a blanket like she was sleeping and took her for cremation. A few days later Dr. G came by herself and delivered Molly's remains and a paw print souvenir. She was very kind and I think would have stayed to talk as long as I wanted, but I was still pretty inconsolable. I would recommend Dr. G when that time comes for you and your family. Thank you, Dr. Guerrero.

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.

Dr. Peterson was kind, compassionate and professional. I talked a lot (my coping mechanism) and she listened with a sympathetic ear. She explained everything in a way that was easy to understand, so I knew what to expect at each step along the way. I asked for a moment alone with my dog after she'd passed. Dr. Peterson was very respectful of that. I am most appreciative of her kindness and support during a difficult process.

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.

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.

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.
