What pet parents are saying
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. 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.
Dr. Loughmiller was amazing! She blended the perfect combination of compassion and expertise/efficiency to a heartbreaking process. We were soooo sad to say good bye to our beloved pet, but so grateful Dr. Loughmiller could make the experience peaceful and easy!! Thank you Dr. Loughmiller!!
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.
As our dog’s age and dementia advanced and the inevitability of having to let her go set in, we struggled particularly with the thought of her life ending with the anxiety of the vet’s office. CodaPet and Dr. Loughmiller made it possible for us to say this difficult goodbye here in our home. Dr. Loughmiller provided our beloved 16-year old Schnoodle with a peaceful and gentle passing here in our home with us, lying in her favorite poofy bed by the fire. We are so grateful for the kind and compassionate care that Dr. Loughmiller provided, and how she honored our grief in this tender moment. Thank you for making this difficult goodbye as gentle and kind as it could possibly be, and for allowing us to show our love and gratitude to our sweet fluff girl in her final moments with us.
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.
