I can’t say better things about Dr Murray. He listened to all of my concerns, he spent time with us and our boy before anything happened and we just talked about Luke and his personality/life. He was so gentle with him and extremely respectful about the entire process. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience under the circumstances.
Dr Mark was very compassionate with his care of Bella and with us. He is a very thoughtful and caring doctor. I would definitely recommend your service and Dr Mark as a veterinarian to anyone looking for help with their pet.
Somehow Dr. Katie Simpson came to be the vet who supported us as our beloved Hank crossed over the rainbow bridge. No one would have served us better. He passed so peacefully and Dr Simpson was thoroughly respectful.
Dr Todd was amazing. She was so gentle n kind with my chichi. She didn’t rush anything and made sure I knew everything she was going to do, step by step. It was so peaceful for my chichi and I would recommend this service to anybody who is looking to do this in the comfort of your home.
We chose in home pet euthanasia and it was absolutely the best decision. Our cat was comfortable at home, with his smells, his family and absolutely less stressed. We appreciate Dr. Randolph so much! He is so kind and truly cares about all animals. Thank you so much
It is definitely a very personal experience. You were very professional and compassionate it was the right choice for my sweet Lilly as sad as it was to say goodbye, thank you for that.
Dr. Annie was amazing and truly made a hard day a little easier with her kindness and compassion. Not only did she care so lovingly for our dog, Lana, but she really took care of us as well; explaining every part of the process and giving space and time to grieve throughout. We are so grateful that we were able to do this in our home and have Dr. Annie on our side. We highly recommend Dr. Annie and the coda pet team.
Losing our sweet dog was traumatic, but having Dr. Warren come to our home made a sad situation as good as it could be. He was so kind and patient. Highly recommend if you are in the unfortunate position to have to put your pet down.
Dr Sanchez and the staff at Codapet made putting my almost 20 year old cat Autumn Storm to rest so much more comfortable and peaceful. The compassion and support we felt with Dr Sanchez was above and beyond and her gentleness with Autumn gave us such comfort. I highly recommend this in home service. What a blessing. Susan F.
Dr Wolf was excellent, she allowed me to set the pace and I never felt rushed. She explained everything as we progressed and told me what to expect. She gave me the time I needed to say my goodbyes. Would recommend her to anyone.
Dr. Gersten came to our home to help my sweet Penelope rest, and I cannot recommend her enough. Nothing could have prepared me to say goodbye to Penelope, but I will forever be grateful that Dr. Gersten was there from beginning to end. She is an incredible veterinarian and such a kind, compassionate person. She explained everything clearly, never rushed me, and gave me the time I needed to hold my girl and tell her how much I loved her. Her gentleness made a moment I was terrified would be traumatizing feel peaceful, and her support made it bearable. Dr. Gersten, thank you for helping me free my Penelope from her pain so lovingly. Knowing she got to leave this world at home, held and loved, is a comfort I will carry through the endless heartbreak of missing her. Thank you for taking such great care of someone so precious to me. I will forever be grateful to you. ❤️
Dr. Laura is the definition of compassion! Our 15 1/2 year old Cocker Spaniel, Lexie, was diagnosed with cancer of the spleen the day before we met Dr. Laura at our home. We decided a cold sterile table at a Veterinarian Hospital wasn't suitable for the best Cocker we've ever owned. Dr. Laura took her time explaining what she was going to do before she did it. She let us set the pace as we took the time we needed to say good bye. We couldn't think of a better way to honor Lexie. We're so happy that services like this are available now and that Dr. Laura was the perfect Vet to carry out our wishes for Lexie.
I don’t think there are enough words to express how grateful our family is to Dr. Sarah Crozier at CodaPet for the compassion, kindness, and care she showed us when we said goodbye to our beloved Lucy. From our very first communication, Sarah went above and beyond to make an incredibly difficult experience as peaceful and comfortable as possible. She took the time to understand Lucy’s needs, thoughtfully answered every question, and made sure our family felt supported throughout the entire process. What meant the most to us was her genuine empathy. She understood how difficult this was for my mom, who had devoted so much of her life to caring for Lucy, and went out of her way to ease some of the emotional burden. She treated Lucy with such tenderness and dignity, while giving our family the time and space we needed to say goodbye. Her kindness didn’t end with our appointment. She personally coordinated the return of Lucy’s ashes and continued to check in with the same warmth and thoughtfulness she showed us from the beginning. Losing Lucy was heartbreaking, but I will always be grateful that Sarah was the person who helped us through her final moments. We couldn’t have imagined anyone better to be there with our family. Thank you, Sarah, from the bottom of our hearts. ❤️
I’m truly left empty and broken, but I can say ur presence and compassion in a time of disbelief was helpful. Thank you for being there with Chewy and I.
We were so fortunate to have Dr. Lewis with us during one of the most difficult times for our family. I can’t imagine a more caring, compassionate, or patient person to help us say goodbye to our girl. Her kindness before, during, and after meant so much to us. Thank you for taking such gentle care of her and our family. ❤️
Letting go of my spicy boy Leon was so hard, but I knew it was time. I chose to use an in-home service as I just didn't have the energy needed to take him to the office. Dr. Christina Divine doesn't just "provide a service" she brings peace, caring, knowledge and compassion to guide you through the process. Her gentle demeanor and sincerity were obvious the moment she entered our home. Dr. Christina, thank you for making this hard, hard day so much better than I ever would have imagined: I am so grateful.
We had the most wonderful experience and it was so low stress for our Pumpkin. No carrier, no car ride, no strange noises and smells. To be able to spend her last moments with us in her home, on our couch, where she was comfortable, was priceless. ❤️ I would highly recommend Dr. Perzak for anyone that is coming to the end of their journey together with their pet.
I am so thankful we found Dr. Lauren Ayala when it was time to say goodbye to my dog Smartie. She brought so much warmth and comfort into our home on a day that felt completely impossible. Dr. Ayala was incredibly respectful of our grief and gave us all the time we needed to say goodbye. It was the most peaceful, loving farewell we could have ever hoped for.
Dr. Megan Blasier Duvall did an incredible job with helping our precious 17-year old kitty, Kira, cross over the rainbow bridge. She calmly explained every step of the process to our family, allowed for us to set up where Kira would be most comfortable, and was completely unfazed when teens and other pets went in and out during the procedure. We could not have asked for a more peaceful transition, and we are incredibly grateful to Dr. Duvall for her care and compassion.
Doc. Lori was amazing! Helped us take our beautiful and beloved Summer over the rainbow bridge to join our previous beloved pets today. Summer fought such a hard cancer fight & doc.Lori knew all the right things to say and help us with our baby girl.
It’s heartbreaking to have to make the decision to put your pet down. We have had our lab for 14 years, almost the entire lifetime of my boys. Dr. Lori really made this process so gentle and comfortable for our family. So much compassion. I highly recommend her and I’m grateful that we decided to do this at home instead of at the vets office.
This was the second time I used Dr. Clem’s services. She is so professional and kind, giving you as much time and space as you need. She does a brief exam first, allowing you to tell her what brought you to make the choice that brought her to you. She answers all questions and talks you through every step she takes. When all is said and done, you feel as if she is part of your family. I recommend in home euthanasia to everyone, especially with Dr. Clem! Thank you!
Dr. Ann was amazingly kind, patient & supportive of our family when we had to make the horribly difficult decision to put our sweet Jax down. She allowed us plenty of time to snuggle, pet & cry. She even let our other dogs & cats be there in the room as we let our Jax go. This was by far the most compassionate way to say goodbye bye to our furry boy. ❤️
Dr Dawn Fitzhugh was professional and very compassionate. I feel at peace knowing we made the right decision at the right time. I’m so thankful we had this option, and Dr Fitzhugh was a blessing to help us navigate this difficult time.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I am so grateful to Dr. Goldberg and CODA Pet for helping me say goodbye to my beloved Oreo, my cat of 19 years. Having to let her go was heartbreaking, but Dr. Goldberg made it a peaceful experience by allowing Oreo to pass at home, on her own bed, where she was comfortable and surrounded by what she knew. What touched me most was the beautiful handwritten sympathy card Dr. Goldberg sent me afterward. Her thoughtful words, including a mention of my beloved son Eric and the Rainbow Bridge, brought me so much comfort during a time of deep sadness. It is clear that Dr. Goldberg cares deeply about the animals she helps and the families who have to say goodbye to them. Her compassion and kindness meant more to me than she could ever know. I will always be grateful for the care she gave Oreo and the comfort she gave me during one of the hardest moments of my life. Thank you, Dr. Goldberg and CODA Pet, for helping me give Oreo a peaceful goodbye. I will never forget it. ❤️🐾
Dr Elizabeth was incredibly kind, gentle, and patient as we said goodbye to Luigi. We've never done in-home euthanasia, and we were a bit nervous. But being at home meant that we didn't have to stress out our beloved dog by driving him to the vet. In the end, we were able to take the time we needed to say goodbye. It was a calm and peaceful process.
We had to say goodbye to our 18 year old kitty this week and our vet recommended CodaPet to us. This is the first time we have had to put a pet down and Dr. Angela was so kind and compassionate in her communication. While it is a sad and traumatic experience as pet owners, Dr. Angela made it clear what was happening every step of the way and gave us information about what to expect. We were happy to know our furry friend went off to the other side in her favorite napping spot surrounded by her humans. Thank you for a beautiful experience for the end of life care for our pet.
We scheduled a last minute pet euthanasia and cremation for our senior pup it was so easy to schedule and the vet contacted us right after booking. High recommend this company their policy is something that is appreciated during such a difficult time.
We are glad that we had our beloved, 16-year old cat Lucy put to rest by in-home euthanasia without the stress on her of driving to the vet. She was comfortablyon my lap at the end.
This was absolutely the right path for us. Dr Megan Blasier Duvall was so wonderful, gentle, & kind for us and our precious boy that was in kidney failure. It was a smooth transition for our sweet kitty and Dr Megan went above and beyond with offering a small clipping of his fur in a little glass vial and a sweet heart stone the same color as our boy. I found the booking process to be very easy and helpful with being able to see different times & prices clearly and pay beforehand so you don’t have to worry about doing all that in the moment. I was able to make the appointment for next day and even though this was so hard, being able to use CodaPet was better than we could’ve wanted. Thank you Dr Megan
Losing a beloved family member isa very difficult process full of powerful emotions. Dr. Kellie here in Northwest Arkansas was a blessing beyond measure through this process. ♥️
Dr. Juber was so incredibly kind and compassionate during this difficult time. She treated our sweet dog with so much respect. I love that she made his last hours less stressful. I would highly recommend Dr. Juber.
I was extremely impressed by Dr. Laura… She was so comforting and compassionate with the loss of our beautiful brown boy. I was also surprised and comforted by her reaching out since then to offer comfort. I had never used an at Home vet for euthanasia in the past, but I certainly would use your company again and hopefully get Dr. Laura. I have one beautiful black-and-white cat that I hope will be with us for a long long time, but would never hesitate to do this again in home… It is such a beautiful way for your pets to cross over.
I was concerned about using a vet who I did not know our boy Niko, and who had not seen him before. I did not want to add stress to Niko by taking him to the vet's office when he was already in pain and confused. Having the in-home experience was a perfect solution for us. Dr. Ellen was kind, patient, and gentle. She took the time to hear our stories and to get to know Niko. She had wonderful communication throughout the entire process, so we knew what was happening. We were able to be there to say our goodbyes, in our own home while holding and loving our boy. Dr. Ellen then took care of taking Niko in for cremation so we could remain at home to grieve our loss.
I am so glad I chose Dr. Martin to do this for us. He made my dog Frankie and myself very comfortable before anything was even mentioned about what was about to happen. I am so glad that Frank was so comfortable as he left me. He made the entire thi g much easier than it would have been with most other options. I really can't say enough about Dr. Martin. So glad I went with him.
He was incredibly kind and compassionate to our family during one of the hardest times in our lives. He was scheduled to help our boy pass peacefully, but our dog passed before the appointment. We still moved forward with the cremation, and he continued to support us with such care. He gave us time to say our final goodbyes and was so gentle with our boy when transporting him. His communication throughout the process, including when our boy’s ashes were ready, was excellent. We’ll be forever grateful for his kindness and the respect he showed our family and our beloved dog.
Really bad experience with this company, the scheduling and accessibility to access these services were good. We picked in home euthanasia, abit pricey but worth it for the comfort of our dog and many people feel this way. Once we picked our location for Alexandria (Northern Virginia ) area, we were then assigned to one specific doctor which was Dr. Derecka Alexander. She was scheduled to arrive at 2pm and she arrived 35 minutes late due to traffic. This area is known for traffic so her promptness would have been important on such an awful day, given that our dog was going to being euthanized. Being prompt on this kind of day would have helped a lot. She then proceeded to to start the procedure after she gave us time, she administered the first injection which helps the dog relax. During this time. She went straight in her back and spinal area and in her notes she knew our pup was having seizures, after injecting her in the awful spot ( not the veins) my dog starting breathing hard and panicking and basically collapsed from exhaustion, during this period she then proceeded to to inject her again with an anti seizure injection and by this time my dog was already gone before she could even start the actual injection for the euthanasia. She proceed to inject the final injection through her veins I don’t recall her shaving the hair. She blew both her veins in both legs in the back, and then went towards the stomach to finalize everything. This was the most traumatic experience that I have ever witnessed. We were so shocked that we questioned her. Afterwards after the procedure, she didn’t even say sorry for our loss or anything. She then proceeded to tell us the wrong location of where our dog was going. I had to call a cremation service that she used, and they are the ones who told me where my dog was located. It was awful. We reached out to Kevin from Koda pet and he responded with a typical corporate email replying saying he is so sorry for our loss and we are currently thinking about you during this situation. We are heartbroken by the passing of our dog and it was a horrible experience.

As I grieve the loss of my best friend and soul dog, i am filled with overwhelming gratitude for the gift I was able to provide to him through CodaPet in-home euthanasia services. Dr. Jennifer Dykstra walked into my home and embraced us as family. She sat down beside us and spoke to my baby in the sweetest voice and loved on him as if he were her own. She made such a connection with him that he gently moved from lying across my chest and wedged himself up against her leg. He knew why she was here and he welcomed what she was offering. The sweetest release from his pain and suffering. He didn't even flinch as she administered the sedation medication and drifted off into a pain free, deep state of relaxation. I had a moment of panic and she allowed me to take him outside and climb into my hammock with him in my arms, for us to embrace our final moments together in the sunshine and fresh air, surrounded by family. Bittersweet? Yes. The greatest gift to him? ABSOLUTELY! I've known for 14 years that this day would come and I've promised him that if I had any control of where and how he left this world, it would be at HOME and in PEACE. I will never forget Dr. Jen's soft voice, patience and compassion in fulfilling our final wishes.
We have trusted Dr. V with our animals over the years, and we couldn’t ask for a better veterinarian. The quality of medical care he provides is top-tier, but what truly sets him apart is his genuine kindness. He treats every pet like a cherished family member rather than just another patient, always taking the time to listen, explain options clearly, and ease any worries. Knowing our pets were in such skilled, compassionate hands brought us so much peace of mind through every life stage, including end of life. We are endlessly grateful for everything he’s done for our furry family and recommend him without hesitation.
Dr. Kimberly Campbell is fantastic. She treated me and my pet with such kindness and respect. It’s clear how much she truly loves animals and she was able to make a very difficult moment a bit easier.

It is great to have a professional like Dr Lewis during this difficult time. Walking through this painful process was less worse with an excellent professional. Thank You!
This was an exception service. The whole process was handled very respectfully and with great kindness. The communication was excellent!

It’s hard to adequately describe the comfort CodaPet brought us. Our deeply beloved Australian cattle dog mix Sunny was extremely frightened of vet clinics, so having her end-of-life transition in the very place she felt safest made all the difference in the world. We don't have an in-home option through our local clinic, so having the care of a traveling vet was absolutely invaluable. Dr. Anna was incredibly compassionate, respectful, and competent, and she was truly present with us. We greatly appreciated the ease of scheduling and the excellent communication throughout. I very highly recommend CodaPet based on our experience.

Dr. Taylor was so patient and understanding as we asked questions given this was our first experience with having to let our dog go. He explained the process thoroughly and was very compassionate doing so. I was so glad my husband found Codapet so that we could do the procedure at home where our dog Rocco was most comfortable. Would highly recommend to anyone who has to make this difficult and emotional journey.
Karen was a very welcome sight as we watched our cockapoo travel toward the rainbow bridge. Dr. Duncan asked to be addressed as Karen, and along with her warmth and compassion, she provided skill and professionalism in our neediest time. She eased both Storm and myself to a level of peace that allowed both of us to accept Storm’s end of life. Thank you Karen for your love and compassion.
It's hard to talk about but this was a peaceful experience for her and us. Shelby seems to understand in a way that my other pets who weren't present did not. Heidi was devastated when we came home without her sister, Daphne. Here's the thing, at least in our experience, you can't really plan this so it was so helpful that Dr Murray had it planned out in a way that made everything go smoothly. He is incredibly kind and intuitive, he appreciates the bond that we had with her in a way that a clinic would not necessarily feel. We are incredibly grateful that he was able to come and help her and that she didn't have to wait and suffer or go through more trauma by having to get her into the car. We will definitely let others know who might need this, this was the gentlest goodbye that we could have imagined for her. Thank you, Ramie, Dave , Carter and Shelby
Dr. Duncan was just exceptional during this traumatic time. Always a very emotional decision to have you beloved animal euthanized and Dr. Duncan made it a very quiet, solemn, and peaceful process. She couldn't have been any kinder and caring for both my dog and me as the owner. I thank her very much!
One of the most caring and compassionate people I have ever met. Not only was she awesome with Duke but she was also great with Tyson, his brother. I never felt rushed or unknowing of what was going to happen next.
I don’t usually write reviews for anything. I just want to take a moment to talk about how fantastic Dr. DeWitt made the entire process. She operated with grace and such deep deep caring for both my pet and my family. She took the time to really get to know us. It is extremely evident how much love she has for animals. I could not recommend this service enough to anyone who asks.
My wife and I were very happy with the service provided by Dr. Marisel San Miguel. We had a thirteen year old lab that had been very healthy and active for his age. Over the time span of just a week or maybe ten days he began to loose control of his rear legs and back end. A trip to Auburn indicated that it was not an orthopedic problem but they could not tell us what was causing the issue. Along with becoming immobile without help to get up it appeared he was also beginning to have some pain and discomfort and he was declining rapidly. Rather than watch him suffer I decided it was time to say good bye. The at home euthanasia service was a great option for us and she was able to come on a Saturday afternoon. We will miss our Deets.
Review for Dr. Mills – Codapet When we had to make the heartbreaking decision to let our elderly, ill dog Coco go, Dr. Mills from Codapet was truly exceptional. She arrived with compassion, patience, and a calming presence that made an unbearable moment a little easier. Her gentle care ensured our dog’s final moments were peaceful, dignified, and full of love. She explained everything clearly, gave us time to say goodbye, and treated our pet as if he were her own. We are deeply grateful for Dr. Mills’ professionalism and kindness. She is not only an outstanding veterinarian, but also a compassionate soul who understands the bond between pets and their families. Thank you, Angela Ali
Dr. Poole was wonderful. She was very caring and didn't rush the process. I have already recommended her to a friend who may need her services in the near future.

I don't normally ugly cry in front of people the first time I meet them, but Dr. Murray was a rock and a comfort on one of the worst nights of my life. He came as an emergency to help ease my 14 year old dogs pain. He was so kind and patient. He made sure we knew what was happening, what was going to happen, and what we needed to do after. I didn't have to worry about any of the specifics, or the arrangements, I was allowed to grieve my best friend without anything else weighing on my mind. That alone was priceless.
Saying goodbye to a beloved pet is one of the most heartbreaking experiences anyone can face. During such a difficult and emotional time, we were fortunate to have Dr. Bradbeer who showed extraordinary kindness, compassion, and genuine care. Their gentle manner, patience, and understanding brought comfort during a moment filled with sadness. They treated our beloved companion with dignity, tenderness, and respect, ensuring their final moments were peaceful and filled with love. There are simply no words to fully express our gratitude for the compassion shown to both our pet and our family. It takes a truly special person to help others through such a painful goodbye with so much grace and kindness. Thank you for making one of the hardest days of our lives a little easier to bear. Your kindness will never be forgotten. ❤️
Dr Jessica was warm, sincere and very compassionate with our dog Jak, and our family. She kept us up to date on her arrival and described the process. She was thoughtful snd did not rush the process. She exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Dr Jessica and Coda Pet.
I cannot say enough about Dr Butler. From the moment o booked until the moment Dr Butler lovingly took our pup to aftercare, I felt like we were in good hands. The communication was amazing. The compassion and care she showed will forever be impressed on heart. Dr. Butler cared for our family as much as she did our Yasha. She was professional, kind, and informative. We felt confident as she led us through this difficult time. We are so grateful for the care the provided for our family.
My experience with CodaPet was wonderful and pleasant. Dr. Lori made the passing of my beloved Rottweiler Mouse comfortable she was very patient and kind not only to me and my family but, to are pet. Explained everything that she was going to do and asked if we had any questions. Gave us time to grieve never rushed us. I recommend CodaPet 100%.
Dr. Evymarie Prado Sanchez was an incredible part of our sweet boy Cash’s final moments. After 13 years together, Cash was diagnosed with a cancerous stomach mass. Within a day, he was retaining a significant amount of fluid and struggling to walk. We reached out through CodaPet, and Dr. Prado Sanchez responded quickly, sharing her personal cell number so we could communicate directly about her availability, our questions, and our concerns. From the moment she arrived, she was compassionate, gentle, and kind. She gave us the time and space we needed, allowing us to move at our own pace as we said goodbye to our beloved boy. She made an incredibly heartbreaking night feel peaceful and filled with love. We found comfort in knowing Cash could take his final breaths at home, surrounded by the family who loved him so deeply. We are forever grateful to Dr. Prado Sanchez for the care and compassion she showed Cash and our family. Saying goodbye is never easy, but she helped us find peace in our decision and gave our sweet boy the gentle farewell he deserved. We cannot thank her enough.
A decision like this is never easy. But each of us will likely deal with it at some point. It’s an experience that really has no upside. All we can hope for is a calm and peaceful end to a cherished pet’s life. I’ve had over a dozen pets in my 55 years. Dr. DuBose provided quite possibly the most respectful, calming and compassionate experiences of this type that I’ve ever been through. If you have to go through this, I would highly recommend her approach.
Doctor Kristi Thompson was so compassionate and understanding in our time of need. Her professional expertise in this field was much appreciated. She gave us all the time we needed during the process while keeping us informed during each step. I would give my highest recommendation to anyone in this most difficult situation to have her be a part of the process of making your cherished pet comfortable in passing on . Thank you Doctor Kristi for everything.
Having Dr. Ayala assist our dear companion as she said goodbye to us provided a peaceful and comforting ending for both Sayde and my husband and me. We are especially grateful that Dr. Ayala practices at our veterinary clinic, as she already had all of Sayde’s medical information and knows the staff members that had been involved in her care. The manner in which Dr. Ayala and her partner guided Sayde through this final transition was compassionate, sensitive, and deeply respectful. They made an incredibly difficult experience peaceful and comforting, allowing us to say goodbye to our beloved Sayde with love and dignity. With heartfelt thanks, Janet and Bill Becker
Dr. Lane Martin was the best person we could have had there to assist us in the difficult process of putting our girl Dixie to sleep. He was so patient and professional and knowledgeable, helping my family to stay calm during the event. And to recieve her ashes with the sweetest message meant so much to us. Seriously the coolest Grim Reaper man ever, we wish him all the best- safety, good health, and many blessings, in the wonderful veterinary work he does caring for each animal friend! -Andrea
Dr. Kristina was wonderful. She took her time explaining the process to us and allowed us all the time we needed to say our goodbyes. She was very compassionate and caring. I won’t hesitate to use Codapet again in the future.
Dr. Lauren was extremely professional, thoughtful and kind and made our family feel at peace. I would not hesitate to call her again.
Saying goodbye to a beloved pet is one of the hardest things we've experienced. But to be able to do it at home, with Dr. Le Blanc's compassion and gentle hand, was a small blessing. She was reassuring, respectful, and empathetic throughout. It meant so much to us. We highly recommend Dr. Le Blanc for anyone navigating a pet's end of life process.
Dr. Krueger was absolutely amazing. She was so kind and caring to us and our pup. A time like this is very emotional and difficult, and Dr. Krueger made us feel lighter. Thank you so much!
Dr Gonnering was very professional.She helped our pet end his suffering and she helped my family have a calm peaceful experience. Having older children who have not dealt with death,it was very important that there were no traumatic or upsetting events with my pets passing. It went smoothly and we are able to move on without any regrets. Thank you so much Dr for all your help during this difficult time! I will recommend Codapet to all that need assistance with such a sensitive situation.
Losing our 18 year old dog Dallas was heartbreaking however, I am so glad that I chose to do at home euthanasia. It was a very peaceful experience - there was no anxiety from a car ride, no unfamiliar smells or sounds, etc. Dr. Clem is very kind and compassionate, she walked us through each step and gave us as much time as we needed with Dallas. Dr. Clem made a very difficult day a little easier and we are forever grateful for her.
I highly recommend at home euthanasia as opposed to an impersonal clinic experience. My first dog I ever had was put to sleep at a clinic and it was traumatic for me and my dog. On Friday Oct 24th we made the decision for my Quasi’s eternal rest to be done at home surrounded by his pet parents and dog sister. Dr Sarah was like an angel in human form. She has such a calming nature and aura. She put all my apprehension immediately at ease. My dogs are usually high strung with constant barking once a stranger visits our home. With Dr Sarah, there was not constant barking. Quasi immediately went to her as she sat down. He even let her pet him. He has never done that ever with a stranger. Dr Sarah was knowledgeable and professional. She answered all my questions and listened to stories of Quasi. She never made us feel rushed or like she was on the clock. Such a pleasant and peaceful experience for us and Quasi. Quasi was not scared. He seemed at peace and it looked like he just drifted off to sleep. I can’t recommend Codapet and Dr Sarah Clem enough. When you are going through one of the hardest moments in your life, please consider this option. Dr Sarah was such a blessing for us during the difficult day.
I cannot say enough kind words about Dr. Custer. Her patience, kindness, and compassion were so comforting during a heart breaking moment in life.
Dr. Clem was very empathetic and professional. She allowed plenty of time for the sedative to work so that the process was easier. She allowed us time to talk about our sweet Elli and to be with her after she passed. 100% recommended!
Dr Blades helped us a few years ago when the time had come to say goodbye to another of our long time pets and over the years I lost track of him so it was a blessing to see that he was available once again to make it so much easier to say goodbye. Having someone who truly cares be there at such a hard time and allow us to keep our pet at home going through the transition means everything.
Dr. Le Blanc was an angel to me right when I needed her. She brought compassion first and 20 years of veterinary knowledge second. She understands this part of pet stewardship best. I highly recommend her to anyone who has the heart to assist their pet through this transition at home.
