Verified Veterinarian
I understand the heartache of saying goodbye to a beloved pet firsthand. During my rigorous studies at LSU, I navigated the loss of my childhood companion, Creasy. This personal experience fuels my dedication to ensuring a peaceful transition for every furry family member, turning moments of sorrow into moments of comfort and relief.

Dr. Alexander provided a professional, calming and caring experience when it was time to say goodbye to our dog. She gave us plenty of time to say goodbye, guided us through the process, and answered all of our questions. Dr. Alexander was very respectful and compassionate with impeccable bedside manners . We couldn't have asked for a better experience for us and our dog on one of the most emotionally difficult days we've ever had.
Dr. Derecka Alexander was outstanding, so caring, understanding, kind and professional. She brought calm the moment she arrived, carefully and gently explaining each step of the process, doing everything with great care to ensure our dog had a peaceful end, and to help us through the process. She was also outstanding with our younger dog, making sure she was calm, and able to watch the process so she would understand what was happening with her pack mate. Dr. Alexander did everything possible to ease our dog, and us, through the process of saying goodbye and giving our beloved dog, the blessed, restful and peaceful end she deserved.
Dr.Alexander was very professional and compassionate as we laid to rest our fur baby of 18 years. I hope never to have to do this for another pet, but if I do, I would call Dr. Alexander again.
Dr. Alexander helped make a very sad occasion as smooth as could be. She was very compassionate and helpful through a very emotional process.
Very kind and professional. Euthanizing a belived pet is always difficult, but Dr. Alexander walked us through the process with kindness and understanding.
Dr. Alexander of CodaPet was absolutely wonderful to work with as we had to say goodbye to our dog, Evy. We cannot thank her and CodaPet enough for their professional and empathic treatment during this time.
