Dr. Delia is truly one of the most amazing people I have ever met. She gave us peace of mind by answering all of our questions and throughly explaining what our baby girl was experiencing. We are so happy that our Mira was surrounded by love and comfort in her final moments.

Dr Magnotta reached out to me on my cell phone after I made my appointment for the last time available which happened to be 1:00pm. When I told her my husband was home but I would be taking my lunch break but would be home by 1:00, She asked if I had planned to return to work, I told her I had to because I just came back from vacation the day before. Dr Magnotta offered to come later so I didn’t have to go back to work. I thought that was very thoughtful and empathetic but I don’t get out work until 5pm and I couldn’t expect her to wait till then when 1:00 was the only appointment time left. She assured me that was fine and that I shouldn’t have to go back to work after such an ordeal. I was able to finish my work day and go home and be with our Sophie before the Doctor arrived. My husband had Sophie were outside in the back yard on a small blanket near the picnic table, it was one of her favorite spots. Upon Dr Magnottas arrival she text me to tell me she was there and I met her in the driveway. From the moment she introduced herself I felt at ease. She was very sincere and caring. It was like Sophie was her own. She explained everything she was going to do before she did it. We have another younger Golden, Annabelle and Sophie was not only her best bud but was also her sister. Annabelle had no idea what was about to happen but after Dr Magnotta gave Sophie the sedative we let Annabelle come outside to be with us. Dr Magnotta was so understanding, kind and gentle to all of us. She stayed after Sophie passed from this life, took paw prints for us, patiently and graciously listened to stories about Sophie and our other animals. We are fortunate enough to be able bury Sophie on our property so no other arrangements needed to be made. Dr Magnotta was knowledgeable and gave advice to us about our other animals on flea and tick prevention. Spoke to us about the grieving process not only for us but for our other animals also. My husband and I had to put down two other dogs in our past but it was at our veterinary office and it was a totally different experience and in experiencing both sides we will always use codapet.com moving forward. Highly recommend them and Dr Magnotta.

Dr. Fitzhugh helped our family say goodbye to our guardian and our friend. She was compassionate and professional. Dr. Fitzhugh cried alongside us. She made a difficult decision less difficult.

Dr Murray helped our nearly 15 yr old Baxter cross the bridge today.The time he took to get to know us and hear stories about our boy meant a lot to our family. Every detail he clearly put a lot of time and thoughtfulness into, all the way down to the nose print keepsake cards. Thank you so much for your kindness Dr. Murray❤️‍🩹

Dr Dash was EVERYTHING I hoped for -- an excellent practitioner and a wonderful person who deserves the strongest recommendation. 5 stars really doesn't capture it. I had a 17 year old papillon named Birdie, who was like a child to me and who was the center of my entire life. This was the hardest decision I’ve ever made, and it was also the best one. Every time I think to myself “poor Birdie” I catch myself and say “lucky Birdie”. She got the “good ending” everyone hopes for. It was all thanks to Dr Dash. She was that great. I had been telling myself for over a year to be ready to make some hard decisions based on whats best for Birdie. Its better to be days/weeks/months early than a moment too late. Well, on Friday she seemed like she didn’t even need a vet visit and by Monday she was gone. These things happen FAST. Decisions have to be made FAST. You look up end of life-care vets, see some credentials, hopefully read a bunch of reviews, get a vibe from a headshot and go with it. Its a tremendous amount of trust for a decision you want to get right because in some ways it defines you as a pet owner and it might stay with you for the rest of your life. Dr Dash was the right decision and I’d like to try to explain exactly why. Dr Dash was FLEXIBLE - evening appointment? No problem. Morning? no problem. Oh shit I need to reschedule the day of and get her here 4 hours sooner? No problem. I think she actually had to do quite a bit of driving too. Her coverage area seems to be from Palm beach all the way down to at least North Miami where I was. Dr Dash was PATIENT - absolutely nothing was rushed. Everything was explained. Every moment and every person involved was handled with extreme care. Dr Dash was EFFECTIVE. When everyone was ready and I gave the go ahead, the first thing was she gave Birdie a “sedative”. Just a sedative, like shes going in for surgery. It takes a few seconds to possibly a couple minutes for the sedative to kick in. Birdie was out in NO longer than 3 seconds. It was a pinch that she didn’t love, but within 3 seconds, she had that deep, peaceful snore that I found so rhythmic and calming every single night. I should add this was in the late afternoon, not a time she would normally sleep and certainly not with that kind of depth. I was worried about ambient sounds and daylight making it hard for Birdie to sleep but… nope, not at all. Dr Dash was PRECISE. She explained you’re supposed to wait 5-10 minutes before giving the rest of the cocktail. You generally don’t want to wait much longer than that. And Dr Dash is looking for certain things during that time period to see when she’s “ready”. I requested waiting the full 10 minutes. No problem. Dr Dash figured out the right dose, made sure the timing of everything was in a nice safe zone, and then Birdie’s breathing went from that rhythmic snore to just stopping. It was like a light switch but with no sound. And that was it. No sounds, no movement, no discomfort. Perfect. Devastating but perfect. Dr Dash was PREPARED - she brought a nice blanket Birdie would have loved. She handled her with care and precision. She explained all the logistics of what happens next and where. And that was the whole experience. I had promised Birdie a good ending because I had seen so many others who didn't get to have one. She got that because of Dr. Dash. I trusted the right person, and I am very grateful.

My wife and I could not have asked for anybody better for this experience. We were pained to have to make the decision to put our poor Beebs to sleep. However, Dr. Christine made the situation so comfortable for us and Beebs. He is one of the most compassionate, empathetic, and professional vets I have ever seen. We could tell when he first came in the house that Beebs was welcoming of Dr. Christine and trusted him, a true testament to his caring energy. I am positive we made the right choice and Dr. Christine validated that feeling. Thank you for peacefully allowing our little guy to cross the rainbow bridge.
