What pet parents are saying

Its been a little over a month since my boy passed. Dr. Daniella Ross assisted me in seeing him through. I couldn't have picked a better person. She was kind, and patient and respectful. I am not sure what I expected because Rocky was my first pet ever and I didnt know the process, but Dr. Ross walked me through it and made what would have been a difficult moment a little easier for me. Even how she transported him to the crematorium... in a cute basket, cozied in a little blanket. What surprised me in the best way, was that she sent me a sympathy card about a week later with a paw print she took of him... something I hadn't even thought of doing in the stressful last moments I had with him. Thank you Dr. Ross. Your kindness was godsend.

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. Ross was wonderful! She responded quickly to an urgent appointment I had requested. When I had some questions and doubts, she offered to get on a quick phone call with me. We ultimately ended up scheduling for the following day after I was able to speak to my primary vet. Dr. Ross was flexible and communicative the entire time. She was such a warm and compassionate presence during the entire process. She talked me through everything and made sure I felt I had all the time for me and my pets to say goodbye. It was as easy and peaceful as this time of thing possibly can be - thanks so much Dr. Ross!

Review by Dr. Daniella Ross

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

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.
