Today is the kind of day one hates being a grownup. It hurts and there’s no way around it, but Dr. Christine made the pain bearable. He was an absolute gift and we feel so fortunate we were led to CodaPet and Dr. Christine in our time of need.

Karen was wonderful. This was one of the hardest days for us having to say goodbye to our LuLu. Karen was kind, compassionate and thoughtful. We are so grateful that she was there for us and our dog in our time of need. We are forever grateful to her.

I am very grateful for Dr Thomas’ soothing and gentle presence as we said goodbye to my beloved cat Keith, and especially for the respect with which she treated Keith even after he was gone. This was my first experience with at-home euthanasia (as opposed to at the vet’s office) and I heartily recommend Dr Thomas and Coda Pet.

We recently had to say goodbye to our 14.5-year-old dog, Bear, and chose to do so in the comfort of our home. I’m so grateful that Dr. Angela was the person who helped us through it. She was incredibly kind and gentle with both him and us from the moment she arrived. More than anything, she made us feel like there was no wrong way to do any of this. We felt safe asking questions, crying, grieving, and just sitting on the floor together with Bear while she worked around us in our cramped living room. She asked questions about who Bear was, his favorite treats, his personality... Nothing felt clinical or awkward, and nothing was rushed. She explained everything that was going to happen and what we could expect physically and timing-wise. After Bear took his last breaths, she even stepped outside and let us have as much time alone with him as we needed. The back of her car was set up with soft lights and thoughtful little touches that made even that part feel cared for. She was so gentle with him, and it just meant so much to me to know he was in good hands. Saying goodbye to our best friend of 14.5 years was incredibly painful, but she made the experience as peaceful and gentle as it possibly could have been. I’m so thankful for the care and dignity she showed Bear, and for the way she guided us through such a difficult day. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone having to make this decision.

Dr.Gregory-MacDonald assisted us with transitioning our best boy Tommy across the rainbow bridge. We have been there several times before, but this experience was the most personal and special process. Her compassion and manner were nothing short of amazing and made the difficult time much easier. Thank you forever.

He was simply amazing. He made this horrible time in our lives a beatable one. His demeanor and soft-spoken manner definitely helped us do what we knew in our hearts was best for our 18 year old Cockapoo. He was able to get us to remember her best times and made us feel that this decision was one that was best for dusty. Thank you Dr. Litwack. You will not soon be forgotten. Dan & Martha Battisti
