Dr. Clem is incredible. She made us feel at ease and gave us the time we needed with our sweet girl. She made sure we understood every step of the process and was so caring.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional care, compassion, and kindness I received from Dr. Lisa Littlejohn during one of the most difficult moments of my life—saying goodbye to my sweet girl. From the very first conversation, she approached our situation with such gentleness and empathy that it immediately gave me comfort during an otherwise heartbreaking time. What truly stood out was how she supported me through every step of the end-of-life decision-making process. She never rushed, pressured, or judged me. She made sure I had all of the information I needed to make the most loving choice for our dog. During the actual process, she created an atmosphere of peace and dignity. She treated my dog as if she were her own, and made her feel safe and comfortable. After everything, her follow-up and thoughtfulness were equally meaningful. She checked in, offered support and resources, and reminded me that our girl's life was honored with love until the very end. If you are looking for or in need of a vet who not only understands the medical side of care but also the emotional weight it carries, especially during end-of-life moments, Dr. Lisa Littlejohn is exceptional. She helped me give my dog the peaceful, loving farewell she deserved, and for that, I am endlessly grateful.

We are deeply thankful to Dr. Shannon Nakaya for the care and compassion she showed during our beloved dog Giggsy’s final moments. Saying goodbye was an incredibly painful decision and a very difficult day for us, but her kindness, patience, and gentle approach helped ease the burden. Dr. Nakaya guided us through the process with understanding and treated Giggsy with such tenderness and respect. Her compassion and professionalism truly made all the difference during this heartbreaking time.

Dr. Lisa was the best. Took her time and explained everything that we asked her about. I know my Meka went in peace, best decision I made her and I. Thank you so much.

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.

The form for the service was very easy to complete. I appreciated this since making this decision was very difficult and I was fraught with emotion. I wanted my beloved cat Buddy to have a pain free transition at our home. He was 18 years. His decline was rapid; he became extremely ill in the span of a week with advanced kidney disease. Dr. Lutri was so gentle and loving to Buddy. She explained every step of the process and asked me before each step if I was ready to move to the next. Dr. Lutri was gracious, kind, and compassionate. She has the most peaceful, calm, loving presence and a profound caring for the pets she serves and their pet guardians. She comforted me greatly as she took care of my magnificent boy. She genuinely understood the magical connection I had with Buddy and treated him so tenderly when she put his sweet body into a beautiful bed to transport him the the crematorium. I felt like Dr. Lutri was an angel sent to me in my dire time of need and loss. She was exceptional in every way. She is a talented doctor overflowing with empathy and understanding who is beautiful inside and out.
