Dr. Ann Gonnering

Dr. Gonnering was amazing. She was knowledgeable and calm, willing to walk us through the experience and what to expect. She gave us the needed privacy prior to the procedure, and was the epitome of professionalism throughout the entire process. I will remain forever grateful for her easing the passing of my family member, and the grace she demonstrated throughout. I have already reached out to the emergency vet office to add her as an option for in-home services, as I only found Coda Pet through google. Her ability to come to our residence on short notice, on a Saturday afternoon allowed our family a final day together. I cannot give adequate praise to her and her services. She was perfect, and I’m so thankful she was there.

Lily was our first family dog and I never knew how much love our little pup would give us and how deeply & quickly she became a family member. It was the hardest thing in the world to see her go but so peaceful to say our goodbyes at home with her. Dr Ann was so compassionate as she explained the process and answered all our questions. She has a soft spoken, caring & calming demeanor which I believe Lily picked up on. Lily hadn’t moved from the floor all day but when Dr Ann sat near her, she got up, wobbled over to her & sat between her legs for the remainder of her time with us. I believe she knew Dr Ann was there to help her. Dr Ann was so respectful of our time with Lily. I would HIGHLY recommend Dr Ann. She brought peace to our breaking hearts.

Thank you CodaPet for connecting us with Dr. Ann Gonnering. Dr. Gonnering was very kind and sensitve with us and our cat, Misha. She was at our home, later in the evening, less than five hours after our call to CodaPet. I sincerely recommend CodaPet and Dr. Gonnering.

We decided to use Coda’s in home pet euthanasia when my precious dog’s lymphoma became resistant to treatment and he deteriorated. I cannot say enough about how much better this terrible day was made by doing it at home. My dog had been back and forth to the vet so many times in his last weeks, the thought of one last visit to the animal hospital was miserable. The vet who came to us was compassionate, patient, and thoughtful. Our appointment was as peaceful as I can imagine.

Dr. Gonnering was wonderful. My BellyAnne immediately took an interest in her with wagging tail. I believe BellyAnne knew that Dr. Gonnering was there to help her cross the rainbow bridge and be well again. Thank you Dr. Gonnering...I will recommend you to anyone that needs these services, Jacquie Tromer in loving memory of BellyAnne

We put our cat down at home a few weeks ago. The Dr was very caring and kind. She allowed space for my kids to process how they needed. She let them gather around however they wanted. She walked us through each step of the way. I highly recommend.

Dr Gonnering was fantastic. She explained the process in great detail and made sure I was comfortable with every step before it was taken along the way. I would highly recommend the in-home service as it allows your Pet and yourself to grieve in the comfort of your own home.

The decision is never easy and all we wanted was our Calypso to pass peacefully and as stress free as possible. That is exactly what we got with Dr. Ann. 10/10 for her services. It was my husband's first time and I was so glad he didn't have to experience Calypso being so nervous as she would be anywhere other than home.

Dr Gonnering was very sympathetic and professional. We have two other dogs we wanted present and she handled them well to calm them and introduce herself. She has a very sweet presence and I feel my dogs were all relaxed around her . My youngest was a little cautious of her but ultimately took to her. I'm very grateful for the situation, to be able to do this in the comfort of home. Having a gentle, loving vet is key and I couldn't ask for better. Thank you CodaPet and Dr Gonnering!

Dr. Gonnering was very kind, and took time to explain everything to our family prior to the procedure. She was great with our other two dogs, who were busy trying to get into her medical bag to look for treats. When the time came, she treated our Rose with tenderness and dignity. It was a difficult day, but being able to let our girl pass at home, in her favorite spot and with her favorite people, made it feel a little less overwhelming.

I am so thankful for Dr. Ann Gonnering. She was able to help our family through one of the hardest days as we lost our cat Sir. Dr. Gonnering was kind enough to meet us exactly where we were, which was laying in bed surrounding sir. She sat on our bed and explained the procedure in detail, allowed for questions, and was patient. She was very calm and reassuring and allowed us to move at the pace we felt comfortable with. Sir passed very peacefully and with dignity and I will never be able to say thank you enough for that. I can’t imagine ever having to go through this at a vets office. Dr. Ann Gonnering was very communicative and kind throughout the whole process. All of the details were coordinated by them which helped make the process easier. The crematorium they used was incredible - a very loving family that runs the business. THANK YOU!

Dr Ann Gonnering could not have been more sympathetic and gentle during this painful process. It meant the world to us that she was patient enough to help us find peace, in our decision to end the suffering of our turning 13 years old golden retriever. She was unbelievably knowledgeable about everything that was likely going on with him. Her information of treatments informed us of how little time it would buy (with much of it being recovery) and the high risks of a surgical procedure. Thank you CodaPet with all of our hearts for supporting us in this time of need. Words can't truly express how much it meant to have our pet leave our lives in such a relaxed, comforting and quick way.

Dr Gonnering was an Angel in disguise. She made this heartbreaking decision much easier for me because of her sincere compassion and knowledge. After performing a thorough examination, she assured me that it was time for my Tinkerbelle to cross over the rainbow bridge. And that I was making the right decision. Dr Gonnering treated my Tinker with such gentle care to keep her comfortable. I felt I could hold her forever, there was no rush. Whenever I was ready to let her go. She helped prepare Tink for our transfer to the crematory. I will never forget the comfort Dr Gonnering brought to myself and my family during this very difficult time. I will never ever forget her.

Ann Gonnering is incredibly kind, thoughtful and compassionate, which is pivotal in this type of emotional experience. She provided incredible support and love, as if it was for her own pet and family. Her heart makes her incredibly poised to serve in this role and make a horrible situation as meaningful and positive as it can be. We are so touched by her care and support. She gave us all the time we needed with our beloved fur-family member and allowed a respectful and love-filled passing.

Dr. Gonnering helped us twice in a span of three weeks. We had to put our sweet Fiona down after bone cancer slowed her down. A few weeks later we had to put our handsome Shrek down after learning he had a large mass on his spleen. It was very unexpected but Dr. Gonnering was so compassionate and made us feel better about our decision. We are so grateful to have had Dr. Gonnering during this difficult time.
