We really appreciated the care that Dr. Monroe showed us. We exchanged many messages leading up to the day, and that attention and time gave us comfort in our decision and timeline.
Her genuine compassion created a safe space for the heartbreaking situation. Dr. Monroe was delicate and gentle while caring for our baby. She took her time and explained everything to us, and she made sure we were okay.
Being in the warmth of our own home kept the space lower stress for our boy, and I absolutely am glad we chose to do it at home and not in a clinical office.

5.0Jul 31 2026 by Samantha H. I am sharing this because I would never want another pet owner to go through what I experienced during one of the most painful moments of my life.
I arranged for her to come to my friend’s home to help my ESA dog pass peacefully. I paid an additional $100 for her to come on her day off because I wanted to ensure my dog had a calm and gentle goodbye. I was told I could take as much time as I needed with him.
When she arrived, she initially seemed kind and comforting. However, after I signed the paperwork, the experience began to feel rushed and disjointed. While I was trying to spend my final moments focusing on my dog, she continued engaging with him. My dog was very people-oriented, so he naturally stayed focused on her, which made it difficult for me to have the quiet, personal time I expected with him.
During the procedure, my dog reacted suddenly when the needle was inserted. I became very upset and immediately asked if he was okay. In that moment, I needed reassurance and support, but I felt alone and overwhelmed.
After he passed, I asked for private time with him because I was devastated. I was told, “I’ll give you five minutes,” and then later given another short window. This felt very different from what I had been told beforehand about being able to take my time, and it added to the emotional distress of the situation.
I was also not given the option to keep his body overnight, which others did provide to me as an option. I was told certain keepsakes would be included, such as nose clay prints, but the crematory later confirmed they do not provide those items.
The cremation process caused additional confusion and distress. I was told by the doctor that my dog’s cremation had already started, and that because of this I would not be able to see him again. This created urgency and emotional shock in the moment, and led me to immediately reach out to the crematory for clarification. I had to locate the crematory myself—it was the second one I called, as the name was never provided to me at any point. After contacting them, I learned that my dog had not yet even been received. This discrepancy added to the emotional distress during an already traumatic time. I was also initially faced with the possibility of paying an additional $250 just to see my dog again, which was later compensated by CodaPet.
Additionally, when it was time to bring my dog to the vehicle, there was another person present in the car who I had not been informed about beforehand. Carrying my dog after his passing was already extremely painful, and the lack of communication about this added to the distress of that moment.
My dog was my family, and this experienc was incredibly difficult. I understand that every situation is different, but I hope this helps other pet owners ask questions, clarify expectations ahead of time, and ensure they feel fully comfortable with the person they choose to help them say goodbye.

1.0Jul 31 2026 by Christina B. Dr. Katie was amazing! She handled everything so professionally yet personally too. Ruger will be so missed by many (as she can attest to, she said it was the biggest crowd she'd had, there were 9 of us) and I will never take my pets to a cold impersonal clinic to pass if I can help it. Having your pet pass at home where they're comfortable and familiar was such a blessing!

5.0Oct 12 2025 by Tina Devore 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.

5.0Sep 15 2025 by Magda Khordoc Dr. Katie Todd was so unbelievably kind & compassionate. She made an absolutely awful experience as peaceful & supportive as was possible. We are so grateful for her service.
We are so grateful that Dr. Courtney White was available to us, last minute nonetheless. We were able to say goodbye to our precious boy Radar in his favorite spot in our backyard. Dr. White was so kind and compassionate, explaining the process as it progressed, allowing us to make the decisions we could. She truly understood the bond we had with our boy. We will cherish the memory of him forever ❤️

5.0Sep 21 2025 by Kim Needham Dr. Norman was wonderful in helping our pet pass away peacefully at home. She was professional, compassionate and genuinely kind. We would highly recommend Dr. Norman and CodaPet for those looking for in home euthanasia services.

5.0Sep 16 2025 by Doug Taylor Dr. Laura was kind and so very patient. She made sure Shelby was comfortable and me as well. I can’t say enough good about the whole process and I am glad we found CodaPet.

5.0Aug 01 2026 by John O. 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.

5.0Sep 15 2025 by Delia Molloy Dr Clem showed amazing compassion during this incredibly difficult time. I could not be more thankful to have a carrying vet come to my home and help me.

5.0Jul 31 2026 by Desiree T. I've used Dr. Meredith twice in two completely different circumstances and in both case I was beyond satisfied. She shows a great deal of empathy and understanding and made the difficult process as smooth and comfortable as possible. She is professional and careful while being supportive for both the pet and the family. I would highly recommend her to anyone finding themselves in need of this service. I genuinely felt relief to find someone so kind to handle this process for me.
Faced the difficult decision to euthanize our beloved 18 year old Papillon and used Codapet to do it in our home as our dog hated to go to the vet. Dr. Katie Todd arrived and explained in detail the process, gave us plenty of time to say our goodbyes, and made the process as easy as possible. She was very reassuring to my children that we had made the right decision and explained all the options for taking care of the remains and provided us with keepsakes to ease the family’s pain. Thank you so much Dr.Todd in doing what has to be one of the world’s toughest jobs!

5.0Sep 29 2025 by Robert Watson I can't say enough fabulous things about Dr. Jessica Pruitt! It was a hard decision (as it always will be) when its time for our "buddies" to have to leave us:( but Dr. Jessica is so gentle and kind. She explains everything, is very patient and my Molly just warmed right up to her which made things even easier. I can't express the gratitude to Dr. Jessica enough as she made this as peaceful as can be for all of us:) Thank you Dr. Jessica!

5.0Sep 15 2025 by Michelle R We contacted Coda after striking out with our regular vet and 2 other local vets who do in-home euthanasia. (One of which hasn't called us back after 15 days.)
Our dog's condition was declining rapidly, and Dr Adarraga went above and beyond to move up his scheduled arrival time. When it was obvious there was no hope of recovery, Dr Adarraga ended Buddy's suffering in the gentlest, kindest way, explaining the procedure to us and supporting our decision. He was professional but also so sympathetic. Thank you, Dr Adarraga and Coda!

5.0Aug 01 2026 by Diana R. When Dr Martin arrived, my little guy Barney ran to the door to greet him like he did all guests. He even barked at him, before jumping up to him to get attention. Dr Martin greeted him back, warmly and sincerely. He was playful with Barney while explaining the process to us. Lane made a horrible no win situation more acceptable with his calm demeanor and soothing words. I can't thank Dr Martin enough for helping little Barney come to peaceful end to his life's journey.

5.0Sep 15 2025 by Mel Curtis Dr. Katie Todd was so kind and informative. She explained the process and answered all of our questions. Our sweet girl is at peace and out of pain and I couldn't have asked for a better experience for her.

5.0Oct 22 2025 by Whitney Lloyd-Bays Dr. Laura DuBose was great!!! She was calm and quite patient even though Patches, my 13 yo calico presented her with a challenge. She was a cat who could be described as a feral indoor cat who has never stepped foot out the door. At no time in her life, no voice was raised to her and never any harsh treatment was experienced by her. Dr. Laura managed to catch her by herself with a towel and injected tranquilizer. She then put her in my arms and I was able to hold her as she went to sleep for good. I admired her compassion and competency. I would highly recommend Dr. DuBose for vet services. Sincerely, Carol Jean Newmon 7-31-26

5.0Jul 31 2026 by Carol N. Our experience with CodaPet and Dr. Vosberg:
To prepare ourselves for what to expect, we researched at-home pet euthanasia on the internet. We decided on CodaPet, and our assigned veterinarian was Dr. Michelle Vosburg. From the initial conversation, through the procedure and after, Dr. Vosburg was, sympathetic, kind, and compassionate. We were comforted with her bedside manner with Riley and her goal of making sure Riley was stress-free the entire time. Dr. Vosburg was soft spoken and gentle with Riley. Dr. Vosburg brought Riley, and us, smiles at her passing by treating Riley to a scrumptious chocolate bar. Riley became agitated for a second, but Dr. Vosburg was able to settle our sweet baby. Dr. Vosburg explained each step of the process. After Riley’s passing, we were able to spend as much time with her as we wanted. Dr. Vosburg provided a pet-stretcher to carry out Riley, in a blanket we were able to provide. Riley was carried out on the pet-stretcher, to the back of Dr. Vosburg’s SUV for her final ride to the Rainbow Bridge. Dr. Vosburg drove off slowly, and respectfully.
The attention that Dr. Vosburg paid to Riley’s moment was unsurpassed. We felt that our fur baby was a valued member of the Earthly plain, and treated as such.
I cant recommend Dr. Michelle Vosburg enough, to help pets and their people through a very difficult experience.
Thank you Dr. Vosburg!

5.0Jul 30 2026 by Lori R. Dr. Bates was so kind and gentle with my sweet girl. She was also very kind to my mother and myself as we were obviously very sad and crying. I appreciate the time we were given to say goodbye and the respect shown to my first baby and very best friend. This was, by far, the hardest decision I ever had to make, and Dr. Bates’ wonderful care and empathy helped to reassure me.

5.0Jul 30 2026 by Leigh K. Dr. Gordon performed the euthanasia for my sweet soul dog of 16 years. It was the most peaceful experience I could’ve asked for. She knew exactly what to say and created such a calm environment to spend our final moments together. I’m very grateful for her service.

5.0Sep 14 2025 by Savannah Cottrell Thank you Dr. Brittany for being so kind compassionate and caring. It was so hard letting go of our sweet Moose, we loved him dearly. Thank you for walking us thru everything and giving us the time we needed with him.

5.0Jul 31 2026 by Stacey E. Mac was my first pet- my kitty cat of 18 years. I consider myself very fortunate to have had him as a buddy for so long. So when he showed signs of his time being up, I knew from a friend -in home pet euthanasia- was a peaceful goodbye. Dr. John Murray was beyond thoughtful and professional with amazing bedside manner. Mac had a wonderful last day at home and I held him in my arms as we said goodbye. It was beyond hard, but I also wouldn’t have it any other way looking back. Mac hated his car carrier, the car, a vet office is so cold. We were in our beautiful, sunny room, comfortable and well, I’d want to go the same way! Thank you again for being so wonderful to our sweet baby.

5.0Sep 16 2025 by Kate Kapolnek Dr. Pilago showed so much care and compassion when we had to make the painful decision to put our handsome pup Rodney to sleep. I highly recommend her.

5.0Sep 14 2025 by Suzi Brown Dr. Lowman was very caring. This was a very difficult decision to make for my 15 YO Yorkie and the ability to have this done in the home reduced the stress and anxiety for Remy and me. It was so peaceful and Dr. Lowman was a caring and compassionate professional. This was much less stressful compared to visiting an office. I highly recommend Dr.Lowman if you’re faced with this difficult decision.

5.0Aug 01 2026 by Nancy C. I appreciate that she came to my house within 2 hours lucky we live close to each other she says. However after Bear was put down she says take your time. But she kept on hovering over me kinda rushing me and I finally said can u go wait in the livingroom. Sure no problem. Then a few minutes later she says her car is getting warm so need to wrap things up. I feel as if I didn’t get enough time.
Second I told her I wanted private cremation so assuming from the past paw print and fur clipping came with it. It does not and she never brought it up. Or engraving on the box. So I don’t get Bears paw print clippings and had to bring Bears ashes back to cremation shop to get the engraving.
Third I emailed her a couple times asking where Bear is. Can I pick her up when she’s ready? Where is she? When will she be ready? No response. I had to call around to find my pup.
Not impressed at all. Quite disappointing actually.

1.0Jul 30 2026 by Rachelle R. This was definitely the way to give your baby wings. My dog was very afraid of the vet office, and i did not want him to be on his last day on earth. Dr Anna was on time, very loving, caring and made us all feel at ease with going forward. She even brought a treat for him, and my very usually picky dog ate it! She was amazing, and I would definitely call on her again. Thank you, Dr Anna. The Hallfrisch's.

5.0Sep 15 2025 by tina hallfrisch “How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.” ~~ A.A. Milne
Saying goodbye to our beloved Koda was more painful than I could have ever imagined. We did everything we could to ensure he had the best last day and that definitely included having Dr. Dykstra come to our house to assist. From the time we scheduled the appointment until Koda was returned to us, she showered us with kindness and care. I have never been able to do this with my pets at home so I had no idea what to expect. She gently guided us through every step of the process and gave us plenty of time to say goodbye. I cannot recommend Dr. Dykstra enough. She took such very good care of our boy, right up to the end. In spite of the pain, we knew he was in such caring hands.

5.0Jul 31 2026 by Tonya G. No easy way to navigate end of life for a beloved furry family member. However, this experience, in our home, surrounded by comfort...was the most compassionate way to say goodbye to our beloved Boo.

5.0Jul 31 2026 by Jennifer H. This is the 2nd time we have used Dr. Danielle Jackson. She is kind, compassionate and we would highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you again Dr. Jackson!

5.0Sep 14 2025 by Justine M Groves In the very difficult moments of deciding to end the life mercifully of your best friend and longtime companion, you need the best in compassionate care as well as skill and sensitivity. I can wholeheartedly give my highest recommendation for Dr Evymarie Sanchez. She was so professional and so very caring. She helped me make our last moments together full of the love I always shared with my sweet rescue dog, Lilly.

5.0Jul 31 2026 by Margaret L. Dr. Lisa made herself available for a last-minute urgent call for us and she couldn’t have been more lovely and caring. This is obviously a challenging and sad time for anyone in the position to call. She treated it with reverence and kindness. Feel lucky to have had her.

5.0Sep 16 2025 by Gillian Shure Our family felt very fortunate that we had Dr John Murray as our Coda vet to assist our dying dog with euthanasia. He displayed a perfect combination of gentle guidance, and empathy for our family during this difficult time. We could not be more thankful that he was there to assist our beloved dog during his end of life.

5.0Jul 31 2026 by Alicia S. Putting my beloved Avery down was the hardest day of my life. While there is no easy way to do that, Dr. Noe made the
experience so much better. From the moment she came to my house, her calm presence put everyone at ease, including my dog. She was professional, yet spoke as if she had known Avery for years. She gave us as much time as we needed to say goodbye to our baby without feeling rushed. After Avery passed, Dr. Noe gave a heartfelt speech and hugged us all. I couldn't imagine having to euthanize in any other way.

5.0Sep 16 2025 by Jessica Rios Dr. Thomason was so supportive and helpful during such an incredibly hard time. I can't say enough about what an amazing vet she is. RIP Lovely Lolita

5.0Sep 14 2025 by Karina Elias Dr. Sarah Clem was very passionate and kind when I had Chico in her care. She explained everything to me and helped me process the situation during Chico’s passing and not rush my time with him. I’m very happy with the care and time spent with Chico. Thank you, Dr. Sarah Clem!
Losing Tigressa was one of the hardest things we've ever been through, and Dr. Megan Lowman treated her—and us—with extraordinary compassion and kindness.
From the moment she arrived, Dr. Lowman gave us the time we needed, explained everything gently, and made an incredibly painful experience as peaceful and dignified as possible. She treated Tigressa with such respect and genuine love, and it was clear that she truly cares about both her patients and the families who love them.
Being able to say goodbye in the comfort of our home was an immeasurable gift, and Dr. Lowman's calm, caring presence brought us comfort during one of the most difficult moments of our lives.
We will always be grateful for the compassion, professionalism, and empathy she showed our family. Thank you for helping Tigressa leave this world surrounded by love.
It's the service you never want but when it comes I was so thankful for Dr. Todd. She was so compassionate and patient with us. Our sweet cat was able to cross the rainbow bridge in the comfort of his home without the stress of being moved to a vets office in his final hours. She even brought his ashes back to us. I can't thank her enough for this. We also had to move his appointment up and she was quick to move to his needs. I hope I don't need their services for a long time for my other fur babies but I will use her again in the very, very distant future.

5.0Sep 27 2025 by Tamarri Wieder Although this was an incredibly sad moment in our lives, Dr. Duvall exuded a calming and kind presence that made the process easier to go through. She was soft in her explanation of each portion of the procedure, and patient as we went through it. I am grateful for her gentle expertise. She is a gem and I'm glad my cat could pass peacefully with her assistance.

5.0Jul 31 2026 by LeShae L. We recently called on Dr. Whala to transition our sweet Eddie girl. She is so gentle and caring. Dr. Karen explained the process so thoughtfully. Eddie loved her the minute she entered our home, and was very comfortable , she was in good hands. We all felt the love. I am still in awe at the peaceful passing of our girl. Dr. Karen found her calling for sure! I will recommend her to every pet owner I know. She is a gem and I thank her from the bottom of my heart.
