I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Courtney Mills and the care I received during one of the hardest moments imaginable. Having to say goodbye to a beloved pet is heartbreaking, but the kindness, gentleness, and respect shown to both my sweet girl and me made an unbearable moment a little easier. Dr. Mills was incredibly compassionate, patient, and understanding. There was never any rushing, and every moment was handled with such tenderness and dignity. She treated my girl with the same love and respect that I did, and for that I will be forever grateful. When you are faced with the heartbreaking decision to let your pet go, you want someone who understands that they are not “just a pet” — they are family. I am so thankful I had someone so caring to help make sure her final moments were peaceful and filled with love. Thank you for giving my sweet girl the gentle and dignified goodbye she deserved. I will never forget your kindness. ❤️🐾

Hi, Dr. Thomas turned a sad day, when I had to say goodbye to my dear cat Daisy, into a sad, yet beautiful day. Her warmth and kindness and calm guidance made all the difference. I appreciated her discussing urns before the goodbye, her firm but gentle guidance - not asking too many questions - her letting me take all the time I needed to say goodbye, her clipping a bit of Daisy’s fur for me to keep, her placing Daisy in a lovely woolen basket and letting me help carry the basket to the passenger seat of Dr. Thomas’ car. One thing I’d like to pass along to other grieving pet owners is a quote I read somewhere online: “It’s okay to go on a good day.” This saying helped me because the hardest part is deciding when is the right time. It brought me a lot of comfort. Just because Daisy seemed to like lying in the sun for a moment, didn’t mean that she wasn’t suffering. I was also grateful for there being several appointments available. I made my appointment with Dr. Thomas that very morning . The people at the cremation service that Codapet uses, West Coast Memorial Services, were also kind and treated me with dignity. I can’t recommend Dr. Thomas highly enough! You have my deepest gratitude. Judy Ingram

Dr. Wolfingbarger was very kind and professional in a time in our families lives that was very difficult. She gave us the time we needed to say goodbye to our sweet Luci.

The compassion, care, and effort Dr. Christine showed in making sure my best friend's final moments were as comfortable as they could be was nothing short of incredible. Nobody ever wants to go through this, but things went as well as anything like it ever possibly could. I cannot overstate how thankful I am to have had such a kind person there at the end.

We are incredibly grateful for the kindness and compassion shown to us during one of the hardest moments our family has ever had. Saying goodbye to Gizmo after 18 years was absolutely heartbreaking, but having Dr. Dawn come to our home allowed him to be comfortable, peaceful, and surrounded by the people who loved him most. She was incredibly gentle, patient, and compassionate with both Gizmo and our family. We never felt rushed, and she gave us the time and space we needed to say goodbye. She treated Gizmo with so much dignity and care, and that meant more to us than I can put into words. As painful as that day was, I’m so thankful we were able to give Gizmo a peaceful goodbye at home. I would highly recommend this service to anyone facing the incredibly difficult decision of saying goodbye to a beloved pet.
