What pet parents are saying
Dr Loughmiller was great. We had to put of Dog of 12yrs down. She explained everything and answered all questions. She was very respectful of our feelings and gave us all the time we needed to say our goodbyes. Expensive but well worth it.
Putting a pet down is never any easy decision to make. Our 14 year old lab mix, Sam, had been on a steady decline since spring of 2024. We thought we were going to have to say goodbye in May, but with treatment of his symptoms he bounced back relatively well. However, Sam's mobility was becoming more and more limited, to the point that we would have to help him up from lying down. Sam had the unfortunate luck of contracting mange in his old age as well. After defeating the mites, it took a toll on him. My wife and I do not have children and our dogs are our kids. Sam is the youngest, but has had the roughest life. We decided the time had come for Sam to pass-on with what dignity he could. We were going to take him into the vet, but thought about the aftermath of us in a public place, getting Sam in a bag/box, then having to unwrap him at home. We opted to use an in home pet euthanasia. CodaPet was the recommended service by our Vet. We had prepared a bed outside (perfect weather), fed Sam some pizza, and loved on him until Dr. Loughmiller arrived right on time. Dr. Loughmiller was professional and concise. She answered any questions we had about the procedure and was timely the process. Her follow-up after the procedure was appreciated as well. She sent us a mailer that included a daangle decoration with a stamped metal dog paw, rainbow crystals, clear crystals, and Sam's name on a tag. Along with the Rainbow Bridge poem. It was appreciated and he hung the decoration about our kitchen sink. We will, unfortunately, be using CodaPet again in the not so distant future, since we have two other elderly dogs. Thanks for what you provide.
When our dog Riley started to decline quickly, we knew we didn’t want him to be in pain for long. We knew that taking him to the vet would fill some of his last moments with fear and anxiety. We chose to have an in-home euthanasia that way he would be surrounded with familiarity and feel at ease the whole time. It was fast and painless for him, and for me and my husband. We were able to say goodbye and grieve in an easy way.
She was very kind. She asked if I needed help after her work was done, and she did not linger around after I politely declined. Thank you.
Dr. Alexandria was extremely prompt and on time. She was so kind and understanding, and gave us time to process each step. I was so thankful for her detailed explanation of the process so I knew my baby girl wouldn’t suffer. She was very gentle with Carmel and let her sniff her. I did not feel rushed during any part of the process! Overall I would do it all again in a heart beat. I will be using Dr. Loughmiller’s services in the future for my other geriatric dog. If you are needing this service do not hesitate! The care was amazing. The comfort for your pet to be able to pass in their own safe space was priceless.
Dr. Loughmiller came into our home with the compassion and grace of an angel! She was very kind to my family and most importantly our beloved golden girl. I will forever be grateful for her service to be able to say "See you at the rainbow bridge" in the comfort of our home.
