This process was as easy as it could have been, all things considered. Dr. Lauren was so kind and sympathetic to our situation, and explained everything clearly so we knew what was happening next. I can't imagine having to do this with families every day, but what you all do is truly a blessing. Oliver was our first pet we had to say goodbye to, but being able to do so at home was a great relief for all of us. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, we couldn't imagine doing this process any other way.

Dr. Yang is wildly empathetic and kind. I could not have asked for a better person to help my dog cross the rainbow bridge. She was professional and allowed me to mourn in the moment and explained everything she was doing before she did it to ease my mind. I highly recommend her and can’t thank her enough for helping out in such a hard moment.

I wanted to take a moment to thank a very special doctor, Dr. Karen Duncan of CodaPet, along with the incredible team at Eastern Shore Cremation and Funeral Service. Laying Thor to rest has been one of the hardest things we have ever had to do. Dr. Karen Duncan is an amazing soul who truly found her calling. She arrived, took the time to get to know Thor, and after giving us the time we needed, gently and confidently reassured us that letting him go with dignity was the most selfless thing we could do. She made us feel like we had known her for years. She explained everything, supported us through every step, and gave us the time and space to process such a heartbreaking moment. The compassion and care did not stop there. The follow-up and support from Eastern Shore Cremation and Funeral Service was beyond anything we could have imagined. The kindness, humanity, and understanding shown to our family is something so many businesses have lost over time. Thank you all for the compassion, dignity, humility, and care you showed us during one of the hardest moments of our lives. These are gifts and skills that simply cannot be taught.

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. April was an angel in a time of need for our beloved boy. With grace, compassion, and love when we had time to say goodbye. We were able to honor him and give him the peace he deserved and needed after a hard decision. Dr. April provided reassurance. No chaos of a vet office. Only love and kisses and pets. Highly recommend even though it's so hard to say goodbye.

Dr Mills was incredible. Compassionate, caring, patient, loving.... all the things you'd hope for in the situation. We've had other in-home euthanasia experiences, but this was the absolute best. We felt supported throughout, the communication was amazing. She explained the process and what she was doing when and why. I hope not to have to use her services again, but if we do, I'll be using Dr Mills. 15/5 would recommend
