What pet parents are saying
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!
Dr Gersten was very caring,gentle,and considerate of our feelings. She took the time to talk with us , and listen to some stories about our dog, Yosa. Our beloved dog passed peacefully with my son and myself sitting by her bed patting and talking to her .I recommend that anyone in this painful situation would have Dr Gersten by their side for her professional expertise and emotional support .
Dr. Gersten is a very kind, soft spoken, compassionate person. She made a difficult situation a beautiful one. I was able to hold my baby as he went “Somewhere over the Rainbow “🌈 . She made me feel very comfortable as she did with Pacino. She let me spend as much time before and after the procedure with him. I would highly recommend her. She is a beautiful person. Thank you Dr. Gersten for everything.
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.
To have our last moments with our precious dog at home, no stress of the car ride, other animals and people around was absolutely priceless. I believe my dog was grateful as well. He acted like a puppy just moments before the Dr. came and readily surrendered onto his blanket and my lap when the time came. As painful as is was to lose him, I wouldn’t have done it any other way. Thank you !!!
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.
