What pet parents are saying
Dr. Loughmiller was very professional and compassionate. I am incredibly thankful to her for giving my sweet old girl the peaceful passage to eternal sleep she deserved.
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.
Dr. Alexandra Loughmiller was so kind when it was time to have our dog PTS. She arrived on time, was very professional and made a really tough time go as well as it could. Our dog’s last moments were calm and comfortable in his own bed. We highly recommend Dr. Loughmiller.
Despite the difficult circumstances of having to say goodbye to our Lucy girl, we had a good experience of having Dr. Loughmiller come to our home to help with Lucy's passing. Dr. Loughmiller thoroughly explained the process of euthanasia and gave us all the time we needed to say our goodbyes prior to and post Lucy's passing. It was comforting to be able to have Lucy pass at home in a familiar, peaceful environment. We would recommend calling Dr. Loughmiller if you are looking for at home euthanasia services for you beloved pet.
I highly recommend in home euthanasia or Dr Loughmiller highly enough, for someone who truly loves their pet and knows that death is coming in advance. Dr Loughmiller came over and was so loving and kind and gentle with my cat, and it made the whole situation so much easier to deal with mentally. It was very personal and easier, to just stay at home and have death meet us here, rather than load my cat in a crate and take him to my vet's office. My cat hates car rides and the vet's office, it gives him huge anxiety, as he's been doing it often for years because of his conditions. But he was so relaxed and peaceful with Dr Loughmiller at home. Which is exactly what he deserved. She is a lovely human and you could tell doing it made her emotional too, which I appreciated. Everything was scheduled and paid for online and she very politely left quickly and quietly right after so I could fully melt down in privacy. I can't reccomend her or this service enough. It made for a very very peaceful and loving end for my soulmate cat, Nemmy.
Dr. Loughmiller was kind and caring of Penelope. She read the room as well and didn't overdo or underdo anything. She was perfect in the time of need. Thanks Dr. Loughmiller Jesse
