What pet parents are saying

I am forever grateful that my beloved pet was able to be at home during their last moments, and I thank Dr. Daniella for that. However, the experience ended up being more upsetting than needed. One of the silver linings in such an unfortunate situation is that my pet was outwardly still functioning. I’ve had pets in the past who lost abilities such as walking beforehand, and it makes the end of their lives even more heartbreaking. I was relieved to not endure that this time around, but when it came time to begin the end of life procedure, I instinctively reached for my pet. The doctor told me not to, and for some reason I listened. Instead, she gave the first injection while my pet wasn’t close to me. It worked quickly, and as my baby began walking towards me, their legs gave out. They could no longer move, and their head began to lower to the ground. My love was essentially “gone” by this point. So their last moments were of losing their ability to walk, then nodding off on the hardwood floor. The doctor then said “you can hold them now.” Again, they were already gone mentally by then. The second injection caused their heart to stop quickly, in less than a minute. I don’t want to come across as ungrateful, and ultimately it was up to me to do what I saw fit, but it’s still painful to remember my pets last moments. I replay their last day, and am able to hold on until I see them lose their mobility and sink to the floor. I wish I could change my reaction to the doctor in that moment. Please let people hold their babies if that’s what they choose, especially when their pet spent endless hours happily in their arms while living.

Review by Dr. Daniella Ross

Codapet and Dr. Ross made this difficult time manageable and peaceful. Dr. Ross was very accommodating since the minute we connected. She was professional and knowledgeable! Made us feel confident in our decision. I’m thankful that this part of our pet’s transition was peaceful and the most comfortable. She walks us through each step while letting us take our time. She even chatted with us about our cat’s Coda’s beautiful coat and little bit of her life. The entire process was dignified, calm and peaceful. We are forever grateful.

Dr Daniella Ross helped me through an incredibly difficult time with a calm, serene energy that put myself and my beloved companion of thirteen years at complete ease. He went to sleep gently in my arms, and she gave me the space to say goodbye and the support I needed, when I needed it. If angels walk amongst us, Dr Ross is one of them.

Dr. Ross was incredible assisting us in allowing our dear pet Sarabella to pass on to the other world. She was incredibly kind and compassionate, and took her time explaining the process, and allowed us to cry and grieve as we had to say goodbye. I cannot thank Dr. Ross for such a beautiful home experience and for being so professional and yet deeply human, loving and kind.

Review by Dr. Daniella Ross

When it became clear that our baby girl Chloe was approaching the end of her life, it was important to our family to find a way to ease her passing with dignity & compassion. Dr. Ross was capable, professional, and comforting beyond our expectations and I am so glad we were lucky enough to find a veterinarian like her. I highly recommend her services for anyone who finds themselves in this difficult situation. <3
