What pet parents are saying

Dr. Gersten was a real professional to help us through the difficult time of putting our 12-yr-old poodle to sleep. Her manner was most caring and sympathetic. She also was experienced and fully prepared to handle our needs. We certainly recommend her to everyone in our position with a beloved pet when this time comes.

Dr. Diana Gersten is one of the most caring, kind and professional Vets you will ever meet. Our family can not thank her enough for helping guide us through the step by step end of life process for both of our 18 & 19 year old fur babies. It is never easy to make an end of life decision for your pet, but Dr. Gersten provides a thorough exam of your pet as soon as she arrives to your home and explains everything to you so that you know you are making a well informed decision for your pet. Dr. Gersten and Codapet provide the most compassionate and private end of life services for your pet family members. Thanks Dr. Gersten & Codapet.

Dr Dana was a true angel during the difficult time to say goodbye to Lucy. Not only very professional but also with the kindest heart and spirit for this service, I can not thank her enough for her delicate and sweet company when she came to our home. She is truly amazing!

Very professional and full of empathy. Made a horrible situation as nice as possible. Will never take a cat out of the comfort of their home again. Lovely service.

Our little dog Gucci, 15 years old, went to heaven this morning, at our house, in Pompano Beach. He left us like an angel, without pain, surrounds by his family with all our love. We couldn’t have hoped a better way to leave us. It was calm and painless and filled with love. We will still have to heal ourselves. We will love you forever Gucci. Notre petit chien Gucci est parti au ciel, ce matin, dans sa maison de Pompano Beach, entouré d’une partie de sa famille. Il était âgé de 15 ans et était rendu au bout de son chemin. Nous n’aurions pu espérer mieux pour son départ. Grâce à la de Gersten, notre Gucci est parti sans stress, et sans douleur, entouré de tout notre amour. Il nous restera à nous guérir de son absence. Nous t’aimerons pour toujours Gucci. Merci dr Gersten.

We had no idea that at home euthanasia was an option until hearing from a friend that they did an at home passing for their dog. Once we knew it was time, we searched online and found Codepet and Dr. Diana Gersten, and she was beyond amazing. It is such a better experience to have your little loved one pass at home in their own bed and Dr. Diana was great with us. She gave us so much time to get Holly comfortable and give her some snacks and she was genuinely caring and interested in hearing stories about Holly and what made her so special. She allowed us to take our time and give Holly so much love as we said goodbye and she drifted off to sleep. Dr. Diana also gave us plenty of time to grieve as well. This was absolutely the best choice we could have made to say goodbye to our little girl Holly. Thank you Codapet and Dr. Diana Gersten for being there and making such an awful situation the best it could be.
