Dr. Le Blanc was very kind and caring and immediately had a connection with our dog. She was responsive and communicated with us days ahead of our appointment. While in our home she thoroughly explained everything to us and answered all questions. Her love for animals and people is evident. Our dog was relaxed and passed peacefully. We were pleased she was there for us during a difficult time.

Saying goodbye to our beloved dog Luna was one of the hardest decisions our family has ever had to make. We chose an in-home euthanasia so she could be surrounded by the people who loved her most, and we are incredibly grateful that April was the one who guided us through that experience.
From the moment she arrived, April brought a calm, compassionate presence into our home. She didn’t just perform a service — she took the time to truly connect with Luna and with each of us. What could have felt clinical or rushed instead became something deeply personal and meaningful.
April gently walked us through every step, allowing us the time and space we needed. There was no sense of urgency, only care, patience, and quiet understanding. Being able to hold Luna, to say our goodbyes in the comfort of our home, and to have April there guiding us with such empathy made an incredibly painful moment feel, in some way, peaceful.
It takes a special kind of person to do this work. April carries not only professionalism, but a rare kindness and emotional strength. We had just met her, yet by the end of the evening, it felt like she had been part of our lives for years.
We are deeply grateful for her — for coming on such short notice, for her gentle heart, and for helping us carry the weight of that moment.
5.0Mar 19 2026 by Maria B. Dr. April was an amazing support during this time. I feel so fortunate that she was able to be with us as she had such empathy for what I was feeling and was comforting and reassuring that this was the best decision. She let us take the time we needed. It was awful saying goodbye but she is a very kind soul.
5.0Mar 27 2026 by Mazie F. Dr. Le Blanc has an immediately warm personality. She walked us through everything and made sure we understood every part of what was happening. She showed genuine love for our sweet little Midi. We're grateful for her kindness and recommend her.
5.0Mar 07 2026 by Renee d. Dr. Le Blanc was exactly what our grieving household needed under the circumstances. Our very ill elderly dog tried his best to stand and bark to defend his home when Dr. Le Blac arrived at the door. She immediately moved toward him with a calming voice and outstretched hand, stroking his head and letting him know he could relax. She continued to pet him for nearly 30 minutes while we discussed our trepidations making this decision. Her evaluation of Alvin's condition and apparent suffering matched that of his regular veterinarian and our own sad realization. Dr. Le Blanc explained the process and answered our questions before taking any further action. She paused at each step confirming our and Alvin's readiness to proceed to the next step. We very much appreciated her considerate and calm approach throughout the process. She truly recognized how difficult and emotionally challenging euthanizing our beloved family member of over 16 years was impacting us. She approached her tasks with reverence and respect and gave us the support and time we needed at each stage. It was a blessing for us and for Alvin that relief from his suffering could occur at home in his favorite spot on the couch while we softly stroked our loving buddy's head and back until Dr. Le Blanc quietly said he's gone now.
I'm so grateful that Alvin's last memories were not of his typically traumatic car trip to the vet's office, encountering the other pets in the waiting area and ultimately being put on a cold table in a strange room with various assistants moving about before the vet entered to begin the procedure. I doubt his vet would have been able to spend much time with him given her other office demands. Transporting Alvin would have been physically painful and emotionally taxing on him and on us. It would have only served to heighten his anxiety and distress. Saying goodbye and leaving him there afterwards would have left us questioning whether we'd done the right and best thing for our dear pet and beloved family member during his last moments with us.
Choosing a home-visiting vet from lists on web sites could have resulted in getting a skilled professional who got the job done but without much heart or meaningful connection to the pet and other household members. That is what we feared most and would have brooded over for months to follow. Destiny lead us to Dr. LeBlanc and her expertise and style was exactly what we had hoped for. We are eternally grateful and highly recommend you strongly consider her if you are in a similar situation.
5.0Feb 02 2026 by Steven B. Dr. April was wonderful. She was kind, empathetic, and patient. She listened to my daughter and me talk about our memories with Emerson. She cried with us. She fully explained the process and assured us that we were giving Emerson peace and freedom from pain. She helped us save memories with locks of Emerson’s fur and paw prints. She made sure that Emerson left with dignity, carrying him gently in a comfortable bed. She helped make this most difficult time meaningful.
5.0Apr 26 2026 by Jeff T. Dr April was the perfect person to guide our family through saying goodbye to our beloved dog. We could not have been more satisfied with April's compassionate care in our home. Highly recommend Dr. LeBlanc.
5.0Jan 18 2026 by sara L. The Doctor was great. She has a great connection to animals. I would highly recommend Dr. April to anyone who needs this service. She made it feel like I was doing the right thing and I know Sadie did too.
5.0Feb 11 2026 by Patricia T. Dr. April immediately felt like part of the family. She was there to share wisdom, cry with me and was extremely professional. Thank you for making one of the hardest days that much brighter. I highly recommend her.
5.0Jan 05 2026 by Heather D. We are extremely glad we choose to have April help us with this very sad moment for our family. She was able to provide the understanding, professionalism, and emotional support that we needed, helping us and our 10-year-old daughter to say goodbye to our elderly dog. In the time she was with us, April was present and open. She didn't treat us as clients; she treated us as new friends and that made all the difference. We recommend her without any hesitation.
5.0Jan 20 2026 by Madhavi K. I’m truly grateful for CodaPet’s service in helping us schedule a qualified veterinarian on the same day. After assessing my cat’s quickly declining quality of life, being able to arrange a timely appointment was a bittersweet relief that ensured we didn’t prolong his suffering.
Dr. April Le Blanc arrived on time and immediately put us at ease. She took the time to understand our cat’s condition, introduced herself to him gently, and answered all our questions with compassion. With over 30 years of veterinary experience—and as a parent to many of her own pets—her empathy and expertise were evident in every step of the process.
Although saying goodbye to my dear cat was heart-wrenching, I’m grateful that his passing was peaceful and that I could be right beside him, doing everything I could to keep him at ease.
Having the service done at home allowed our other cat to be present, which we hope helps her understand his passing. Dr. Le Blanc gave us all the time we needed afterward and offered heartfelt comfort during an incredibly difficult moment.
I’m deeply thankful for her kindness and professionalism. I highly recommend Dr. April Le Blanc and CodaPet for anyone needing compassionate end of life care for their pet.
She also followed up with grief-support resources, which I truly appreciate.
5.0Jan 18 2026 by Cathy K. Dr. April Le Blanc is a kind, compassionate and wonderful human being. She sat with me as I went back and forth, unable to decide whether to put my 20-year old cat down. I ultimately decided it was time and she expertly and painlessly euthanized my little boy. I couldn't have asked for a better person to help me through a very difficult time.
5.0Feb 07 2026 by nicholas s. Dr. Le Blanc is a compassionate veterinarian who made the whole experience go smoothly and meaningfully for us. I would recommend her to anyone making the decision to say goodbye to their pet, she obviously cares about what she does.
5.0Dec 19 2025 by Richard D. April was patient, kind and very compassionate when she euthanized my cat Lilly. I was able to hold Lilly on my lap when she was put to sleep.

5.0Jan 20 2026 by Priscilla B. We can't say enough kind words about Dr. April. She is extremely kind and has a very calming presence.

5.0Jan 21 2026 by Gemeelah E. Words cannot express how grateful I am to have had April help me say my final goodbye to my beloved companion. From beginning to end, she sincerely honored the moment with just the right amount of laughter and tears and made it a good death. I wish everyone could have that peaceful kind of transition when it is their time to go.

5.0Apr 23 2026 by David O. I will be forever grateful to Dr. Le Blanc. Her warmth, compassion, and patience made what was one of the worst days of my life somehow bearable. Letting a beloved pet go comes with such incredible anxiety and worry. In the days following I felt a true sense of peace and gratitude for having shared my girl's life with her. I'm so very thankful for Dr. Le Blanc's guidance and empathy through this terribly sad process and for helping me to feel at peace.
5.0May 05 2026 by Kerry D. My family and I are deeply grateful to Dr. LeBlanc for guiding us through a most difficult and challenging time with empathy and compassion. She explained the process with kindness, gave us as much time as we needed to say our final goodbyes, and reassured us that this was the best decision given our dog’s condition.
5.0Apr 13 2026 by Sonny K. Dr April was so wonderful with not only our sweet Emily at the end of her life but also with our other pets, one of whom probably made her job a lot more difficult (by nature of being a golden retriever). She was deliberate with all her movements and was so respectful with Emily both during and after the procedure, which we so appreciated. If only we were given such dignity at our end.
5.0Feb 26 2026 by Tristan N. Dr. April was kind, friendly, efficient and thorough with her explanation of the steps about to be taken. She allowed us ample time to prepare for our beloved cat's last moments with us. After, she was tender with our cat and with us.
Today she brought our cat's cremains to us. Again, she was kind with us. We appreciate her and recommend her to you if you need this service.
5.0Feb 18 2026 by Christie L. Dr. Le Blanc was patient and kind. She genuinely cares about her clients and their pets. She made this very difficult experience peaceful.
5.0Mar 16 2026 by Chris M. Such an amazing experience, so much better than going to the VET. It was important for our young son to have closure. Handled with grace, skill and empathy. Thank you Dr. April!

Her professionalism and compassion helped to create a respectful and loving environment for our pet’s passing. We would recommend her highly and completely.
5.0Feb 12 2026 by Daniel R. Dr. April was a godsend. Making the final decision after the emotional debate; back & forth; am I making the right decision?; I think she could hold on a little longer... she help make the process bearable. She sat with us, cried with us and explained the process with compassion. She gave us time and space to say our final goodbye. I couldn't imagine doing it any other way with anyone else. She was the best and I highly recommend her.
5.0Apr 22 2026 by Emma O. My kitty Zinnia was so stressed going to vets in the past, especially after having serious eye surgery, and many treatments, pills and ointments, which made her frantic at the vet.
It was wonderful to find that she could be euthanized at home when the time came. I was so grateful that Dr. April Leblanc from Coda Pets could come to our home and put Zinnia to sleep very peacefully while she was lying on my lap. She also had time to speak with me before she came out, and before the process when she arrived at our home. As she described, the~two second sedative shot did cause her to jerk due to pain and made one small meow, but that was the only difficult part. After a handful of minutes, Dr. Leblanc then shaved, a little fur off her leg and inserted an IV to give her the medication that would make her go to sleep. receiving the medication did not bother my kitty at all and she passed away fairly quickly. Dr. LeBlanc stayed and chatted with us a little as I kept her on my lap. We decided to bury her in our backyard (at least 3 feet deep.) so I just held her for a while longer after the doctor left.
Highly recommend! I doubt I will ever have another pet put to sleep at a vet’s office.
